Cute Pencil Cup Holder

As I sat down to crochet this adorable cup cozy, I couldn't help but think about how perfect it would be for holding pens and pencils on my desk. The idea of having a cute pencil cup holder that matches the colors of my workspace was too exciting to pass up. With in mind, I got started on my project.

First, I chose a beautiful yarn from Lion Brand Yarn - 4/7 Cotton by Lion Brand Yarn - which has a lovely sheen and doesn't fuzz or split easily. I knew it would be perfect for creating a cup cozy with clean stitch definition. After chaining 57 stitches with my trusty 4 mm Clover Amour hook, I set off to create the foundation of my cup cozy.

As you can see from the pictures below, I took multiple attempts before getting the pattern just right. It was worth it in the end, though - the result is a beautifully shaped cup cozy with straight edges and a lovely sheen.

I ended up using a grey mug as the base for my project, which matches well with any color and features a cute phrase about coffee. The mug measured 12″ in circumference and about 4″ in diameter, making it the perfect size for a cozy.

With my cup cozy complete, I thought about how easy it would be to adapt this pattern into a pencil cup holder. Simply replace the mug with a pencil cup or container of your choice, and you'll have a cute and functional desk accessory. The beauty of this project is that it's easy to customize - choose your favorite yarn colors, switch up the size of your mug or pencil cup, and add embellishments like buttons or appliques.

If you're looking for a quick and simple crochet project that's perfect for beginners or seasoned crafters alike, look no further. This adorable cup cozy is sure to bring a touch of personality to any workspace, and its versatility makes it a great option for gifting. So go ahead - give a try and see what adorable creations you can come up with!
