Design and Construction

It’s knitted seamlessly in the round using double-pointed needles, ensuring a snug fit around standard-sized mugs. The design is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, making it an excellent choice for personal use or as a thoughtful gift for fellow coffee enthusiasts.

Sizing

The pattern is designed to fit most standard mugs, with finished dimensions of approximately 7 inches in circumference and 4.5 inches in height. While the pattern provides a one-size-fits-most approach, the use of DK weight yarn and specified gauge ensures flexibility to accommodate slight variations in mug sizes.

Materials and Yarn

The cozy requires approximately 50 yards of DK weight yarn. The designers recommend using Rowan Tweed, a 100% wool yarn known for its warmth and excellent stitch definition, which beautifully highlights the cable pattern. However, any DK weight yarn with similar properties would be suitable, allowing for personalization in color and fiber content.

  • Knitting in the round on double-pointed needles
