1. Preparation materials:
Swallow hook, suitable wool (choose color and material according to personal preference), water cup or thermos cup (for measuring size).
2. Calculate the size:
Firstly, the height and circumference of the water cup are measured to determine the size of the required water cup sleeve. The height of the cup sleeve should be higher than the cup, and the circumference should be able to wrap the cup.
Start crocheting:
Start knitting a small circle with a swallow hook and selected wool. First, weave a circle of chains, and the number of chains should match the circumference of the water cup.
Step 4 connect in a circle:
Connect the chain into a ring to ensure that the chain will not be twisted or tangled. Then, continue the next knitting of this circle.
5. Woven body:
Next, start weaving a single hook around the link. Single hook knitting is carried out around the links until the required height is reached. According to personal preference, you can choose different weaving textures or patterns.
6. Increase or decrease the number of hooks:
If the top of the cup sleeve needs to be tightened gradually, the hooks can be reduced. Similarly, if the bottom of the cup sleeve needs to be gradually enlarged, a hook can be added.
7. Final settlement:
After knitting to a suitable height, when the last lap is completed, the wool is sheared and crocheted through the last lap, and the thread is pulled out and hidden in the knitted fabric.
8. Decoration and decoration:
Finally, check the overall situation of the cup sleeve, trim the edges and threads to ensure that the overall appearance of the cup sleeve is clean and tidy.
Crocheting cup lid is a simple and interesting hand-made project. Through the combination of crochet and wool, various patterns and styles can be created to meet individual needs. Remember to be moderately elastic when knitting to ensure the elasticity and beauty of the cup cover. With the weavers' proficiency, we can try different textures and styles to make each lid unique.
