Knitted Coffee Cozies

Looking for a fun little gift for your significant other (or anyone else who loves their coffee)? These coffee cozies may be just the ticket. I designed them as a Valentine's Day gift for my husband and thought they might make other knitters smile, too. The cozies are knit flat and fasten with a button on one side, so they will fit coffee mugs as well as barista-style cardboard cups. Knit in a worsted wool yarn, they knit up super quickly and will keep hands cool and coffee warm. They're also great for using up leftover half-skeins of yarn!
