Twenty to Knit - Knitted Mug Hugs

By Val Pierce

From the series 'Twenty to Make' - great little projects for beginners.

Mug cosies are a new and growing trend in home knitting, and are arguably the most stylish way to keep your hot drinks hot. Now you can knit them quickly and easily using the simple patterns in this book.

There are 20 'mug hugs' to choose from and 20 alternative colourways, ranging in style from traditional to contemporary, fun and funky to cute and homely. All the designs can be easily adapted to match your home style or colour scheme, or to complement your favourite set of coffee cups.

They make fantastic gifts too for special friends and relatives, or indeed anyone you share a coffee with regularly. And why not make a personalized  one for each member of your knitting or sewing group, book club or staff room?

The mug hugs are very quick and easy to make, and can be knitted up in an hour or two from scraps and oddments of wool.

They are suitable for knitters of all abilities, and an ideal starting point for adults and children who are just learning to knit.
