Make Your Mug More Patriotic with Knitting

I love this simple little pattern for a loom knit coffee cup cozy worked in red, white and blue yarn from This Moment is Good. It’s a project that’s small enough you can still have it done in time for your Memorial Day coffee on the back porch, and you can use it for all the patriotic holidays throughout the summer. (And of course if you aren’t American or don’t come from a country with a red, white and blue flag you can change it up to whatever colors you want).

While this is worked with a knitting loom, you could do the exact same thing with needles, just be aware that the gauge won’t be quite the same (and the cast on is the height of the cozy).

Are you knitting over the long weekend? I’d love to know what you’re working on! (I’m still trying to finish a spring cardigan!)
