Design Story and Inpiration for the Fair Isle Crochet Mug Cozy
I designed this easy little make for the Holiday Maker’s Challenge – an annual event where we work together to crochet as many gifts as possible before Christmas. It comes with a gift giving guide, calendar and 8 FREE downloadable crochet patterns!
Crochet patterns fort his challenge have to meet the following criteria:
- Easy enough for an advanced beginner
- Quick enough to make in a weekend (for most crocheters)
- Use up stash yarn
- Be well-received by recipients
Want to join in the fun? There is a new challenge open every year from mid-October to Christmas!
