The free knitting pattern for this spectacular Santa mug cozy, when finished, will fit onto basically any standard sized coffee mug!
This mug cozy will help to keep your coffee, hot cocoa, tea, or any other hot beverage hot for a longer amount of time.
Additionally, it will also keep cold beverages cold longer, as well as acting as a condense collector from cold beverages, particularly if cotton rather than acrylic yarn is used, because cotton yarn is much better at absorbing moisture than is acrylic yarn.
