Winter mug cozy patterns! Free Snowpeople, Penguin, and Willow Mug Cozy crochet patterns

Winter Mug Cozies free crochet patterns by Divinedebris.com

Do you like cozies? I do. I actually use my cozies for anything I drink from, especially my energy drinks because the cans are super cold. I especially do this because I like to be awesome when I leave the house and I rarely see people with cozies around their Monster cans. 😀

So, for you to enjoy I’m including four patterns that I’ve been working on for a couple of weeks now but I haven’t gotten around to posting because I’ve been so busy! Seriously, everyone, I’ve been so busy that I’m actually putting off reading for homework to make this post. My semester is over on Friday,  which makes me so happy, but I have two more assignments due before then. Bah!

I digress.

Notes:

  • The snow-people and penguin are worked in rows, back and forth, which you seam the beginning to the end and the finishing is done after you seamed.
  • The Willow cozy is worked in the round.
  • You need to know how to work into the front and back loop of a stitch.

Snow-people:
Row 1: Ch 13, sc into second ch from the hook and across 12 scs
Row 2: Turn, ch 1, sc into BACK loop all the way across – 12 scs
Row 3: Turn, ch 1, sc into FRONT loop all the way across – 12 scs

Rows 8 – 20: Turn, ch 1, sc across – 12 scs
Rows 21 – 27: Repeat rows 2 – 3.
Fasten off, weave in the ends.

Finishing:
Using a whip st closing, use back loop and loop on the other side of beginning ch to secure.

I used puffy paint to make the faces on both of the snow people. It was really easy, just make sure while the cap is still on you tap it point first on the floor or something so that you get rid of air bubbles that may make a mess. Draw the eyes, carrot nose and mouth on the flat portion of the snow people cozy body.

Hat:
Row 1: Ch 12, sc into second ch from hook and across- 12 scs
Row 2: Switch colors: skip 3 sts, sc into next 5 sts – 5 scs
Row 3: Turn, ch 1, sc across – 5 scs
Rows 4 – 8: Switch colors: Turn, ch 1, sc across – 5 scs
Fasten off, weave in the ends.

Secure the face portion to the flat section of the penguin cozy body. If you only secure the sides and the bottom you can create a little pocket, for a tea bag or something. 🙂

Tr is listed in "terms/ stitches used" It just means US treble stitch and "tr twice" means make 2 treble stitches in the next st. I hope that helps.

Your penquin cozy was perfect for my sister in law, I made a few changes, I followed your face design, then just sc the black right on to wrap around. I also sewed in the eyes and beek. I don't see a place to post a pic. It will be on my Pinterest after I give it to her today.
