For a fun gift idea, stitch up a Crochet Santa Cup Cozy, slip it onto a cute cup, and include a gift card to their favorite coffee shop. 🎅🏼 You can also slip the cup cozy onto this cute printable cup cozy display insert from the Knotty Boss. Anna has lots of PDF files you can purchase to print on your own card stock for gifting your crochet makes or for displaying your makes at markets.

Just an FYI, Anna Leyzina (aka The Knotty Boss) also has a great book called Crochet Secrets that has lots of tips and so much great information even if you are a seasoned crocheter! I have my own copy and you might want to add it to your Christmas list! 😉
