Mug cosies need to come with a warning: they are addictive.
Addictive to make, and they're addictive to use. I love having a mug cosy to keep my tea warm and brighten my cup at the same time. It just makes the tea drinking ritual that bit more lovely.
I've finished my Woodland Mug Cosies, as you can see above, and I also made a sheep one too. They're all Organic Cotton, and are finished with an Australian handmade wooden button, so they're very luxurious and 100% handmade.
I love watching the little pictures appear as I knit - first the hedgehog's feet, then their little face and nose until the whole hedgehog is there. And likewise with the mushrooms and sheep.
I'll be publishing the patterns for the Magical Mushroom and Happy Hedgehog Cosies here next week, I'm planning on it being early next week but we'll see. In the meantime, all of these cosies are available to buy in my shop here. Shipping is free Australia wide!
If you'd like to know the instant the patterns are available you can subscribe here and the email will land right in your inbox. I'll announce it on Instagram too, of course.
Now, I'd love to know what you've been making lately.
And would you use a mug cosy to keep tea warm or as a coffee sleeve? Perhaps it would keep your hot chocolate cosy!
Have a lovely weekend!

Update! Mug Cosy patterns now available here and also on Ravelry
Cute! Its been too hot here to do anything. I miss having a project.
ReplyDeleteIt's been pretty mild here compared to previous years, but it's got to be over 35 to stop me from knitting ;-) I hope you have some cooler weather soon!
DeleteThese are so sweet, & though I would be tempted to buy the pattern, do you advise how to weave in ends for the cotton, as I would have heaps of trouble with this kind of finishing! I am tempted though!!
ReplyDeleteI darn in my ends by threading them through a wool needle and weaving it in & out of the back of the fabric a few times, then tie a knot and snip it off close to the knot. It's invisible on the front and barely visible on the back :-) Carrying your colours gives way less ends to tie in too!
DeleteMy problem, Sarah, is deciding which one! They are all SO CUTE!!!
ReplyDeleteThank-you Margareta & I think you made an excellent choice x
DeleteThey are very cute Sarah and I can see how they might be addictive! I have not touched my yarn for a while. Too much work and then too hot. It will be waiting when I'm ready...
ReplyDeleteIt will indeed! Yarn is very reliable :-) Stay cool! x
DeleteI love these Sarah. I remember seeing something similar in a Donna Hay magazine years ago and loving them but never seeing them actually for sale anywhere. Your colours are always so soft and pretty x
ReplyDeleteThank-you Jane! x
DeleteAbsolutely precious! You are very talented.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank-you so much Laurie! x
DeleteOh my goodness, I love them all ... but the mushroom is just that little bit more ... ;) xo
ReplyDeleteThank you Kellie! And I think the word you're looking for is...huggable ;-)
