Projects just don't get any easier than this. I finished this in a couple of hours as a thank you gift for a very generous friend. I used Lion Brand Cotton Ease in Terracotta (so, washable). The pattern called for seaming the two ends together but I opted to give it a garter stitch edge, chained loops and buttons so it would be compatible with handle-ridden mugs. Can you tell I'm full-on romanticizing autumn? This is not just a mug cozy. No, this little sweater scrap represents all the hayrides, pumpkin-carving and jumping into piles of orange leaves I will not be doing. I start getting all misty eyed for October this time every year (symptom of heat stroke???) Next thing I know I'm making sweaters and planning what classic horror novel I'll read for Halloween. (Ahem... Frankenstein.) As long as it's less than 75 degrees outside, I can skip jumping in leaves and we can call it even.
