Cat in the Hat Themed Cup Cozy

Another Cat in the Hat themed gift for my son's teacher, a cup cozy....




(find my original post about these gifts here)



On this one, I combined a couple of different patterns. I used this cup cozy pattern, just using the cozy part of the instructions of course. And, I used this Cat in the Hat Applique Pattern.

(Again, originally found here, just wrote out the cozy part of the pattern)

Row 1: SC in second chain from hook and in each across, Chain 1, turn (12 SC)
Row 2: SC in BACK LOOPS ONLY of each across, Chain 1, turn (12 SC)
Row 3-End: Repeat Row 2 until piece measures 8” long. 
Finishing: Slip st, working through top of last row and remaining loop of row of foundation chains, slip st in each across. Finish off.

Teacher Appreciation: Dr Seuss Gift Basket

My son just started school last week for the first time! Well, while meeting his teacher, I realized that her room is HEAVILY decorated in a Dr Seuss theme. I decided to make her a few gifts in appreciation for what she does as a teacher (since their jobs are so thankless), and decided on a Cat in the Hat theme. So, these are what I came up with (the book is just for the photo, I didn't get that for her)....







I found a few patterns online and edited/merged them to make (from left to right, top to bottom in picture) a cup cozy, a bookmark, a coaster, and a scarf.


Here are my posts on the individual items:



Enjoy the patterns!
