For little necks, a simple scarf: beautiful, practical, quick to knit even for beginners, with variations to suit the likings of any child. Knit it in scraps for a cheery striped look, or in a solid color for classic charm. A great fast knit for gifts, or a perfect first knit for a little one to make.

These are my notes for the Mug Cosy I made for a gift. I haven’t tested this pattern to make sure everything is correct, but please feel free to make as many as you’d like for yourself or for a quick gift!
