Earlier this week, for Three King’s Day, I worked up this mug cozy, and a matching Slanted Shell Coaster to give as a gift to my co-workers. As promised, here is the free crochet pattern, complete with an invisible crochet and sewing on a button tutorial.

Enjoy!

Materials:
- Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn - I used Lily Sugar n Cream in Psychedelic, Oriental Ochre, Yellow, Red, and Brown
- H8/5mm Hook
- Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends - I like to use a #18, or #20.
- 3/4” Button - I used this Black one from the Slimline collection by the Blumenthal Lansing Company found at JoAnn’s.

Material Notes:
With one three ounce skein, you will be able to make four and a half cozies.
Bernat Handicrafter Yarn will also work great! Lion Brand Kitchen Cotton will work up a tad bit bigger.
Cotton yarn is a little tougher when it comes to weaving in your ends. You will want a tapestry needle with a larger eye, and duller point otherwise, it will take you longer to weave in your ends and hurt your fingers from tugging at the needle and yarn.

Time Spent:
I was able to work up one of these in just under 30 minutes.

Measurements:
This cozy measures 10.25” across by 3” wide, with the half double crochet border.
