Cozy Mug Hug: Textured Coffee Sleeve

This week, we're making a practical yet charming mug hug—a textured sleeve that wraps around your favorite coffee cup. It's the perfect project for September mornings when the weather shifts and warm drinks become a comfort ritual. The design features interesting stitch patterns that are beginner-friendly but leave plenty of room for customization with color blocking, texture mixing, or personalization details like an initial or small embellishment. This project hits that sweet spot of being quick enough to finish in a few days, leaving you time to make multiples as gifts or experiment with variations. The finished piece is inherently photogenic—great for coffee flat-lays or paired with a steaming mug. Since there are no complex shaping or seaming requirements, you'll have a polished, gift-ready item by week's end.
