I needed a super quick gift and decided to whip up a coffee cozy to go with a mug I picked up at my local Wal Mart. I wanted a handmade gift but with all the things going on this holiday season I just didn’t have the time to crochet a larger project. I just finished making all the hats for my sons’ teachers and just ran out of time for anything else before Christmas Day. But this gift is for a coffee lover so I created this cozy and had a few moments to create a knit version as well, then threw in some nice bags of coffee and the gift was done! This version took me less time because I crochet so much faster than I knit. In fact, it actually took me a little less than 30 minutes. If you’re looking for a project with instant gratification, this is it! 🙂

I think I’m doing something wrong. My blanket seems very very long but not very wide! It’s kind of a rectangle!! Ha! I love how you teach! Your voice is very calming. And you don’t go too fast. Thanks. Glad I found your site. Hope you can tell me what I’m doing wrong.

Hi Deb! I’m not sure which pattern you are referring to – this is the mug cozy post. 🙂 Which blanket are you making?
Deb
I’m sorry!!! The blue ombré blanket. It’s gorgeous! It’s just shaped funny!

Most all of my blankets are rectangles about 24″ x 36″. 🙂 If you need it to be wider, you can add a border on the sides or work the same stitch pattern on the sides. If you want to start over, you can chain a larger number of stitches. Any of these options will work.
