Mother’s Day Mug Cozy
April 25th, 2008
For Mother’s Day this year, my husband and I are putting together gift baskets for our moms. I came across this pattern in Etsy and thought it would be a great addition. I plan on picking up a couple of fun mugs and filling it with a little gift bag full of a chai tea mix. It was a really great project, very easy and fast, and best of all, easier than it looks! The base was a bit tricky, as I have never done a circular increase like that while knitting. Fortunately I got the hang of it quickly and it looks really good…even if there is a small gap in the center =) The original pattern instructs you to make an i-cord as a button loop, but I decided to crochet a two thinner loops making two button closures instead of one.
