I have a super fun giveaway for you today lovelies! The folks at Global Backyard Industries sent me these super cute buttons to share with you, and they're so much fun! Be sure to scroll down for a chance to win a Colorful Characters Button Set below!
Global Backyard Industries is a US based company that has tons of things for craft lovers. From crochet to embroidery to painting, they have it all (and more!) Check out my unboxing of the buttons here:
They come in sets of three or sets of six, depending on what you prefer. They also come as a surprise button in some of the other kits they offer as well. The smaller size if 3/4 inch and features a star, rainbow, and teapot. The larger size is 1.5 inches and features a narwhal, knitting sheep , and a llama decked out in a sweater!
My favorite would have to be the fluffy sheep working on her sweater, but I love them all, especially together as a set with the bright color palette. Use them on a yarn tote, jacket, purse or wherever you need to add a little something extra. These make great gifts for knitters and crocheters too!
Check out my unboxings of some of their other stuff, like Charlie the Cactus:
And the Colorful Coasters Kit (pattern designed by me!):
Everything comes in a handy drawstring bag, great to reuse for other things later as well. So fun!

Sizing:
I made this cup cozy to fit a 16 oz coffee cup (grande). If you need to modify the circumference, you can work more or less starting chains to begin. To modify the height, work more or less rounds.
Note: I made two cozies, one was worked by working just one color before switching colors for a striping effect. For the other cozy I worked two rounds of red, 5 rounds of blue, then two more rounds of red. I then attached the patch to the center of the wide blue stripe. Feel free to make yours exactly how you like!
Part 1-The Cozy (worked in rounds)
Ch 28, join with a sl st in the furthest ch from the hook. Round 1: ch 2, then work a hdc in each ch. Join with a sl st to close round. Round 2: ch 2, then work a hdc in each ch. Join with a sl st to close round. Repeat row 2 for a total of 9 rounds or desired height. To continue onto the cape, do not fasten off the yarn and continue below.
Part 2-The Cape (worked in rows)
Ch 2, then work a hdc in each of the next 10 sts. Row 1: ch 2 and turn, then work a hdc in each st across. Repeat row 2 until cape is desired length. I made the cozy with the patch have a cape the same length as the height of the cozy. For the striped cozy, I made mine roughly half the size.
Weave in any ends that remain and if you'd like to add a patch, do so by hot gluing it or sewing it on. Do NOT iron it on! If you used acrylic yarn , it will most definitely melt your project!
Happy Thursday lovelies! Curious about blocking wires? Blocking wires are an easy way to get a super straight edge for your crochet and knitting pieces when blocking. Check out my two latest videos below...one when I unbox a new set and the second where I show you how to use them.
If you have never blocked before, keep scrolling down to see the full tutorials for those as well. Happy blocking!
