Easy Suzette Stitch Mug Cozy Free Crochet Pattern ‣

Spread the love

I love a hot cup of tea, but as soon as there’s a chill in the air, it goes cold so fast! That’s when a good crochet mug cozy is a godsend!

I wanted a cozy feel that wasn’t too bulky and it had to look good and be usable too. I designed the Suzette Stitch crochet Mug Cozy to keep your hot drink warmer for longer, feel cozy to hold and look great too!

I chose the Suzette stitch for it’s lovely texture and cozy feel and because it’s such an easy stitch to do. If you can made a single crochet (UK Double crochet) and a double crochet (UK Treble), then you can make the Suzette stitch! It is also easy to adapt for other sizes.
