UPDATE: You can purchase the pattern here, or try this free pattern of my own to make a basketweave cup cozy!
I’ve been crocheting almost every night, and I finally have some pictures to show what I’ve been up to – mug cozies!
(Here’s my “mug cozy turkey”, cause you know, Thanksgiving is comin’ up!)
I don’t drink name brand coffees in the disposable cups (I don’t drink coffee at all), so the little coffee cup cozies are not much use for me, but mug cozies are great! I do drink tea, and hot chocolate and even soup in ceramic mugs, and I hate having to hold the mug only by the handle, don’t you? And that ceramic sure gets hot in a hurry!
These mug cozies are cute and colorful and pretty easy to work up. I used a pattern from Ollies Boutique on Ravelry; her directions are easy to understand and the cozies have a great nubby texture to them. The cozies are worked up in Sugar n’ Cream cotton yarn, and boy did I go a little hog wild when Michaels had a yarn sale. I got the personalized buttons from WearhouseIndustries, and altered the mug cozy pattern slightly in order to crochet the buttons directly into the piece instead of adding it at the end.
I’m making a bunch of these for my 2nd craft fair coming up (see my first one here), so I hope they sell! If not, they’ll be going up in my Etsy shop. I think they’re great for stuffing some stockings or for teacher’s gifts, or maybe I’ll just keep some for myself!
Do you use mug cozies? What are your favorite colors, or, which colors should I make more of?
They are adorable! And I can’t get over the buttons. That is just plain amazing. I had no idea there was any such thing as engraved buttons! I love what they add to the cozies. So, so, so cute!
These are lovely! And so many colours to choose from!
Cute!
hmmm… I need to make some of these!
The custom button makes these cozies! I like the bright blue the best
These are super cute, I had never heard of cozies but I think they will be great stocking stuffers. Love the buttons a ton and my favorite colors are orange and all the blues!
Orange is hot! 🙂 Hope you are well, my friend!
Good morning ChiWei,
My name is Jackie and I love to crochet I love yours and Sarah’s from the Repeat Crafter me web site. I have learned so much from you both. The only thing that I have not learned is to sale the stuff that I make I give it away… I make for churches and charities and my two grandchildren.
My 2nd and part time job, I work for Michaels and this month they are raising money so I have been donating your cup cozies Everyone seems to want them. I did have a lady who asked if I could make the mug cozie. Is it the same as the cup cozy pattern? I tried to get the pattern from your site (link) but it is not coming up. Would you be able to send it to me please?
I thank you so much for sharing your patterns. Have a wonderful day and I look forward to hearing from you.
im so cold right now but yet became instantly cozy when i saw this…hahaha…love it!

Partying from Southern Lovely. These are so cute. I drink a lot of tea.These would keep the tea warm longer like the teapot cozies.
We may have met by chance…but we become friends by choice.

I can’t provide a tutorial because this is a pattern that I purchased. I did give links to where I bought the pattern though, and it’s great!

Hi there!
I just LOVE these!! I was curious if you could let me know what size button you used for these? I’d love to order some from the etsy link you provided to add to the cozy. They offer multiple sizes and I don’t know which I should order. Please let me know! Thank you 🙂
I think mine were 1 inch wide.
I hope someone sees this and can advise me. I would have made mug cozies instinctively of cotton yarn. A friend, though, says it’s better to use acrylic or wool. Which is ‘right’? Need to get started! ?
I think it’s totally up to you!
I came upon this post while googling for a mug cozy pattern and had to have the exact pattern. After some sleuthing, I found the seller still selling the pattern on Ravelry: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mug-warmer—wrap-around-cozy-with-button-closure
Good morning
Is the mug cozy and cup cozy pattern the same?
I thank you so much for sharing your patterns. Have a wonderful day and I look forward to hearing from you.
