There's nothing lovelier than being able to hold a big mug in both hands, filled with the most perfectly brewed milky tea, except perhaps if its wrapped up snuggly in a cup cozy. I've been whipping up cup cozies the past few weeks. My first effort ( based on this pattern ) was for my CWA meeting mug. It has a built in coaster bottom - yay! I adjusted the same pattern slightly to make this one for my lovely friend Nic in her favourite colours pink & red. On a roll, I devised my own pattern for this special birthday present for Olive's teacher. Her favourite colours are pink and black. I picked up a great tip from here about using rubber grip mat to line the cozy with to stop it slipping down. It worked a treat on the wrap around version.
