MEANDERING PAW PRINTS Mug Cozy FREE Pattern
HAPPY DECEMBER STITCHERS!!!!
As I FRANTICALLY crochet and knit to finish up all of the projects on my Christmas gifting list, I am often inspired to create quick "last minute" items. Ones that I can whip up in just a little bit of time and use yarn that is in my stash. Last year was the Jar Topper Santa and Frosty hat's. Those were SO much fun for gifting last year. And my pups looked super cute in them as well. Want to take a look?? Click HERE and it will take you to that blog post.
This year is another GREAT one...but it's from my most popular pattern line, the Meandering Paw Prints. There are options for two edgings. One that uses an Elastic Ponytail Holder and the other where you crochet ties for closing. I know the bottom tie seems a little off.....but I assure you, much though went into it. Last year I knit some mug cozies for friends that had the tie at the top. If adding your cozy is an afterthought to pouring your coffee, with the top tie you have to lift up a filled mug and risk spilling as you get your coffee mug "dressed". With the bottom tie you simply slip it over the top of your mug that is sitting securely on your table top. Also, no worries about the end of the tie ending up in your drink.
So without further ado.....I introduce the newest pattern.

NOTES:
1) Ch 2 at the beginning of each row DOES NOT count as a stitch.
2) To help keep track of your stitches, the row stitch counts are in parenthesis at the end of each row. Chains are counted as individual stitches, except where you are instructed to “2 sc in ch 4 sp” then the entire ch sp is counted as one and you will work into the next stitch following the ch 4 sp.

4) Dc in last sk st: Insert the hook into the skipped stitch indicated and continue with your dc in the same manner as the other dc. This binds the two sts together into a cross stitch.
