How to Crochet a Mug Cosy
Another week, another mug cosy!
This time it’s a crocheted mug cosy, featuring a basket weave pattern. It’s made by starting of with a circle of chains, but switches to rows to accommodateย the handle of the mug.
Please be aware that I have used British crocheting terms!
I used DK yarn and a 4 mm hook. The cosyย fits a standard sized mug.
