“One of the most annoying things about drinking hot coffee or tea is that it gets cold too quickly to enjoy it. Wrapping your mug up in a little knit cozy can help it stay toasty a little longer.

This is an Irish coffee cozy because it’s knit from a multi-colored green yarn, which makes it perfect for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, but knit in any color this is a practical project that you’ll be glad to have wrapped around your mug.“ - Sarah E. White

An excellent beginner’s pattern that makes for quick and easy gifts for any coffee/tea drinker in your life. Can be worked with any bulky yarn with no change in results.
