Another week, another mug cosy!

This time it’s a crocheted mug cosy, featuring a basket weave pattern. It’s made by starting of with a circle of chains, but switches to rows to accommodate the handle of the mug.

Please be aware that I have used British crocheting terms!

I used DK yarn and a 4 mm hook. The cosy fits a standard sized mug.
