Hi friends,

Everyone likes a mug of hot cocoa, tea, or coffee while munching on all the sweet treats at holiday time. Today’s Christmas in July 🎄 post is a crochet Winter Mug Cozy that is like putting a sweater around your favorite mug filled with a yummy hot beverage! 🙂

It’s a super easy pattern that you can make in less than 15 minutes using cotton yarn. It’s great for using up left over yarn from other projects and can be made in your choice of colors. You’ll find the pattern below along with a link to a free PDF if you’d like to easily print it.

(If you are in need of new crochet hooks, this set with the soft grip handles looks nice. I like the handles because sometimes my hand hurts when I crochet for a long time and they really help! These large eye blunt needles are also great for weaving in your ends)

The Winter Mug Cozy would make a great teacher or friend gift. Wrap it around a cute mug and fill the mug with tea bags, cocoa packets, or coffee beans. Add some cookies or tea biscuits and tie it all up in a cellophane bag with a pretty ribbon. A fun and tasty gift that everyone is sure to enjoy! 🎁

Happy Stitching!
