6 FREE Crochet Mug Cozy Patterns

A crochet mug cozy is designed to wrap around your coffee mugs and tea cups, leaving the handle exposed for holding while making the mug itself safe for gripping. They add whimsy, fun and function to every drink you imbibe. Crochet mug cozies are also a perfect gift to give: a single mug cozy accompanied by a cute mug and a packet of hot chocolate is a great gift for anyone, whether you know them well or not.

Here are six free crochet mug cozy patterns to try.

4. ‘Dotty About a Cuppa’ Mug Hug

This crochet mug cozy is similar to the granny square version at the beginning of this post in that it’s a motif-based crochet pattern worked in the round. The variation is that this has a great circular center and incorporates stitches of different heights, so it is a slightly more complex crochet pattern although still easy for beginner crocheters to figure out.
