Ukraine Flag Cozy Pattern

Ukraine Flag Cozy

I can’t begin to imagine what Ukrainian children and their loved ones are going through. There are many charities that are taking donations for the crisis in Ukraine. Please look into supporting them if you can. I thought I would write a cozy pattern to show my support for Ukraine.

Notes:

Ch 1 does not count as a stitch.
For the first row, I work in the back bar of the chain because I like the finished look. But you can work in any loop of the chain you prefer.
Cozy will fit most standard to-go cups.
