Meadow Mug Cozy

Give your favorite mug a warm hug with this adorable meadow stitch mug cozy. It wraps the mug in thick cluster puff texture to keep your coffee or tea toasty, with a clever button-style loop that fastens around the handle so it stays put — no slipping, no sliding.

This is a genuinely quick make — most people finish one in an hour or less. If you crochet on the tighter side, I include a note about adding an extra row so yours fits perfectly.

You will need an I hook (5.5 mm), size 4 cotton yarn (I love using Hobby Lobby's I Love This Cotton for these), a tapestry needle, and scissors. Stitches used are chains, single crochet, double crochet, slip stitch, and my cluster puff — explained step by step in the pattern.

This is an instant PDF download, and it is my go-to recommendation for quick gifts: pair one with a mug and a packet of cocoa mix and you have a teacher gift, stocking stuffer, or thinking-of-you present that looks like it took far longer than an afternoon.
