• Step 1

  For the cozy

  With 5 mm crochet hook and acrylic worsted weight yarn (I used Michaels’ Loops and threads in red)

  Rd1. 6sc
  Rd2. 2 sc in each st (12 sc)
  Rd3.(2 sc in first st, 1 sc in next) around (18 sc)
  Rd4. (2 sc in first st, 1 sc in next 2 st) around (24 sc)
  Rd5: (2 sc in first st, 1 sc in next 3 st) around .(30 sc)
  Rd6: (2 sc in first st, 1 sc in next 4 st) around (36 sc)
  This completes the base of the cozy

  Rd7: sc in each st around in back loop ONLY! (36 sc)

  Rd8: sc in each st around in both loops (36 sc).

  Rd7: sc in each st around in back loop ONLY! (36 sc)
  Rd8: sc in each st around in both loops (36 sc).
  Rd9: sc in each of the next 32 st. Now you’re leaving the gap for the handle. From now on you’ll work in rounds. Turn, chain 1.
  Rd10-11: sc in each of the next 32 st. Turn, chain 1.
  Rd12-16: sc in each of the next 32 st. Turn, chain 1.
  Rd17-21: sc in each of the next 32 st. Turn, chain 1.

  Now single crochet along the handle gap. At the end, chain 21 then slip stitch through the first chain to make a closed loop.

  For the hearts

  Gauge is not important. The larger the hook the larger the heart. I used a 3.5 mm hook with Caron simply soft solids in pink.

  {3} 3dc

  {4} chain 1

  {5} 1 trc

  {6} chain 1

  {7} 3 dc

  {8} 3 trc

  {9} chain 2

  {10} slip stitch at the first stitch to close the heart

  for the larger heart, add another round

  {11} chain 3

  {12} 1 sc+1 hdc tog. in the 3rd chain of the 1st row

  {13} 3 hdc tog.

  {14} 2 hdc tog.

  {15} 4 sc

  {16} chain 1

  {17} 1 dc in trc of row 1

  {18} chain 1

  {19} 4 sc

  {20} 2 hdc tog.

  {21} 3 hdc tog.

  {22} 1 hdc+1 sc tog.

  {24} slip stitch to end the 2nd row-

• Step 3

  Heart polymer clay button

  Take a small amount of red polymer clay and work it in your hands to soften it up. Roll it into a log. Add a small amount of white, pink or another contrasting color and roll the log in your hands to mix in the color in streaks. Once you’re satisfied with the streaks, shape it into a heart and flatten it out. Make two large holes (make sure the head of your darning needle can get through) and bake the heart according to manufacturer instructions. Sew heart onto the cozy using the same yarn you used for the body of the cozy.
