Crocheted Coffee Mug Cozy

Step 2 Making the "rise"..

The next few rounds go up the sides of the cup, hence I call it the "rise."

Round 9 (if you've made a base like mine): After you've crocheted one even round, slip-stitch (slst) into the front loops only of the previous round.

The next round is kind of tricky, as you will be crocheting into the back loops of round 8.
Round 9.5: 1 sc into the back loops of Round 8. Remember, you slst into the front loops ONLY in round 9!

Round 10-11: sc into each stitch.
Row 12 (notice, we're now going to work in rows!): slst into first 3 stitches, herringbone half-double crochet (hhdc) into the remaining 39, ch 1, turn.
Row 13-18: hhdc into each stitch, ch 1, turn.
Row 19: sc into each stitch...

I don't understand how you make the whole for the handle, i'm very confused

the hole is made by crocheting back and forth across the stitches, instead of in the round. on the very last row, you make two ties. when you tie the cozy, there's a hole for the handle.

Thank you! Thank you!! Not only did I learn two new stitches, but I made a fantastic cozy. I've been collecting mugs, honey , tea and hot chocolate I've gotten on sale and clearance. These will make wonderful gifts!! This is also a great way to use up scrap yarn.
