About this Pattern
When you need a quick project to fill the shelves at your fall markets or you need a last-minute gift, mug cozies are a great option. This one recommends a chunky weight yarn that’s available in dozens of color options.
With this project, you’ll learn a great textured stitch that can be used for all sorts of projects. You’ll also see how to turn a basic shape into a functional mug cozy. There are only a few steps involved and you don’t need much yarn to make one. We recommend Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick yarn for this because it’s easy to find at craft stores and it comes in a wide variety of colors. But if you have another chunky weight yarn on hand you’d rather use, you can substitute of course.
