101 Handmade Days: Crocheted Latte Mug Cozy

In my world its not possible to have a coffee mug large enough! These latte mugs come pretty close though! Coffee is a very big part of my morning routine… its as much about the smell coffee and the feel of the mug in my hands as it is the flavor and caffeine. The only challenge with a mug this big is keeping all that delicious coffee warm to the last drop! So a latte mug cozy was in order, and of course I crocheted it!

This is another basic pattern that would be perfect for a beginner and a quick project for a crocheting pro to whip up. Using some basic stitches and some foundation single crochet, you can probably have this latte mug cozy finished in an hour or two!
