Wow. I had no idea everyone would love the Quick and Easy Mug Cozy so much! I had several requests when creating this pattern for a travel mug cozy so I decided to write out this quick and easy pattern for you.
This pattern also features a ribbed top and a seed stitch pattern of sc, ch-1. I love the texture this adds to the fabric!
I’ve created several of these for gifts and am including a gift card to a popular local coffee shop in our town. These are always received well by my coffee and tea-loving friends and family.
Quick and easy pattern + gift card = one more gift off the list! I’m really liking the fact that I am using up my leftover smaller bits of yarn with these simple gifts!!
If you are part of our Holiday Maker’s Challenge, then you were able to download this pattern pdf free as part of our challenge! If you still want to join us in the gift-making countdown to Christmas, you can check it out here.
