Mug cosies are such a practical but pretty way to keep your tea or coffee warm. So many times I have tea while I’m knitting, but I think “I’ll just finish this pattern repeat and then I’ll have another sip…” – before I know it, my tea has gone cold!

I designed this mug cosy to use up yarn leftovers after knitting the Darling Dots Beanie, and I think it looks so stylish on the mug. The wool keeps your tea (or coffee) beautifully warm, and also shows off the colourwork to its best.

Yarn used for this pattern is WOOLganic Merino 4ply - you can substitute with any yarn of the same tension, or purchase the yarn itself right here!

Included in the pattern:

• Combination of written & charted instructions

• How to read a knitting chart

• Tips for knitting intarsia designs

• Written instructions to finish off your cosy

• Full list of materials, needles and notions needed
