> Note: For a larger base, continue increasing each round by 14 stitches (i.e., Rnd 3 would have 42 dc, etc.) until the desired size is reached.
Cup Body:
- Rnd 1 (BLO Rnd): Ch 2. Working into the BLO of each stitch, 1 dc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the first dc. (28 dc)
- Rnd 2 (Pattern Start): Ch 2. [1 FPdc around the next dc, 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc]. Rep from [ ] 6 more times (7 times total). Join with a sl st to the first FPdc. (28 sts: 7 FPdc, 21 dc)
- Rnd 3: Ch 2. [1 FPdc around the FPdc from the previous round, 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc (work these into the spaces/gaps of the previous round)]. Rep from [ ] 6 more times. Join with a sl st to the first FPdc. (28 sts)
- Rnd 4+: Rep Rnd 3 continuously until the body reaches your desired height. Join the final round with a sl st.
Cup Rim:
- Rnd 1: Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch). Working into both loops again, 1 sc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (28 sc)

Handle:
- Row 1: With a new piece of yarn, join to the cup sleeve and ch 2. Work 3 dc into the same/next stitches (based on placement). (3 dc)
- Row 2: Ch 2, turn. 1 dc in each dc across. (3 dc)
- Rows 3+: Rep Row 2 until the handle reaches your desired length. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Finishing:
- Position the handle on the opposite side of the cup sleeve. Using the long tail and a yarn needle, sew the final row of the handle firmly to 3 corresponding stitches on the cup sleeve. Weave in all ends.
