Materials

Anti-pill acrylic yarn
5.2 mm crochet hook
Scissors
Measuring tape

Creating the I-Cord (Cord Base)

Leave a long tail on the yarn (for neck wrapping).
Make a slip knot and insert the hook.
Wrap the tail yarn around the hook loosely.
Pull through both loops on the hook.
Repeat: yarn under, pull through both loops.
Continue for about 150 repetitions (adjust as needed for neck wrap).
Pull both strands through the last loop, cut, and secure.

Attaching and Crocheting the Cups

Cross the I-cord and crochet the cups along it.
Pull a new yarn strand through the cord and tie a knot.
Make a slip knot and insert the hook under the cord.
Pull the slip knot through and chain one.
Single crochet along the cord to reach desired width (~7 inches).

Repeat for the second cup with a color change:

Make a slip knot with new color.
Insert under the cord and pull in the knot.
Chain one (not counted as stitch).
Row 1: 19 single crochets along the cord.
Row 2: Chain one, turn. Two sc in first stitch, one sc in each st, two sc in last.
Row 3: Chain one, turn. One sc in each stitch.
Row 4: Chain one, turn. Two sc in first stitch, one sc in each remaining.
Continue alternating increase and regular rows until desired cup size (e.g. 7.25 inches wide).
On final row, chain one, cut yarn, and secure tail.
