CUP-COSY – short overview of the piece:
The piece is worked back and forth and sewn together to finish.
COSY:
Cast on 19-23 stitches with needle size 3 mm and Merino Extra Fine. Work 1 RIDGE – read description above. Then continue with FISHERMAN’S RIB – read description above. Continue like this until the piece measures approx. 17-19 cm (or to desired length; the cover should be a couple of centimetres shorter than the circumference of the cup) – adjust so the last row is from the wrong side. Knit 1 row from the right side, work 1 ridge. Cast off with knit on the next row .
ASSEMBLY:
Fold the piece so the cast-on and cast-off edges meet. Sew together in the outermost loop of the outermost stitch. Cut and fasten the strand.
