Happy Holidays Everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving. I adore Christmas and usually about a week before Thanksgiving I get to going on all my Christmas Decorations. This year I decided that I would create these cute Elf Mug Rugs to scatter around the house. They are perfect for the dinner table, coffee tables, or even end tables. These Elf Mug Rugs are super simple to make and very beginner friendly as well. I hope you enjoy making this Elf Mug Rug and look forward to seeing your photos.

Here are a few things that you need to know in order to make this Elf Mug Rug!
Yarn: You definitely want to use cotton yarn for this. I used Lily Sugar and Cream in the colors Hot Green, Sunshine, and Black. You will need scrap amounts of yellow, and 1 skein of green and black.
Yarn needle: Any yarn needle that you have on hand is fine. I love the metal yarn needles because they seem to weave through the yarn easier than the plastic ones.
Craft Scissors: Any pair of scissors you have on hand is fine. I like the smaller ones because I can tuck them away into my crochet hook bag.

Please know that I only recommend products that I regularly use and love! Speaking of something I love, when I crochet I like to watch amazon prime. They have so many movies and I love having them on. It makes the time pass by super fast and keeps me entertained while I crochet. Here is a link for Amazon Prime so you can try it out yourself.
Now, Let’s get started on this fun crochet Elf Mug Rug!
Row 1: With your green yarn, CH (chain) 19. SC (single crochet) in the second chain from the hook and in each stitch all the way across. CH 1 and turn your work. At the end of row 1 you should have 18 stitches.
Rows 2-8: Repeat row 1. At the end of row 8 change over to your black yarn. CH 1 and turn your work. Note: If you prefer you can make the belt yellow and the buckle black. It is up to you. At the end of each row you should still have 18 stitches.
Rows 9-12: Repeat the previous rows. At the end of row 12 change back to your green yarn. At the end of each row you should still have 18 stitches.
Rows 13-20: Repeat the previous rows. Fasten off at the end of row 20 and weave in your yarn tails.
Making the buckle:
Take your yellow/gold yarn and thread your yarn needle. Count 7 stitches in from the left and 2 rows above the black belt. Insert your yarn needle from the back and pull your yarn through. I like to leave a yarn tail so I can tie both of the tails in a knot and then weave in your yarn tails. Go straight down, 7 stitches from the left and 2 rows below the black belt and insert your yarn needle from the front to the back. Now, draw a line straight to the right, making sure to count 7 stitches in from the right and insert your yarn needle to create the bottom part of the buckle. Repeat those steps for the right side and the top of the buckle. Weave your yarn needle through the yarn on the back side of the Elf Mug Rug until you come to the tail that you left. You can now tie the two pieces of yarn into a knot and weave in your yarn tails.
Creating the fringe for this Elf Mug Rug:
Cut 40 pieces of yarn measuring 8 inches. Take 2 pieces of yarn and fold in half. Insert your hook through the bottom corner on one of the sides of the Elf Mug Rug (either side is fine). Grab your yarn with your crochet hook and pull it through leaving a loop. You can now grab all of your strands (there should be 4) and pull through that loop. Pull tight to create your very first set of fringe. You can repeat the process in every space along the edge of the Elf Mug Rug. Do the same thing on the other side of the mug rug. You can now take your scissors and clip your yarn pieces all to the same length. You can also easily turn this into a Santa Mug Rug by following the same instructions but using different colors. Check out my YouTube tutorial for the Santa Mug Rug below.
That’s it! As you can see this Elf Mug Rug is super simple to make and will be the perfect christmas addition to your home this year. If you are looking to make a few more fun christmas projects I think you would like the Crochet Christmas Snowflake and also the Snowman Gift Tag.

Well Hello to all of you! Christmas season is already upon us. We have a new grand baby this year and I know he is going to be spoiled rotten for Christmas. I decided that this year I was going to make crochet snowman gift tags for his gifts. I think it is a really cute idea to make his gifts stand out from everyone else’s. I don’t think he will really know what is going on because he will only be about 6 months old but I still want his gifts to be really special. I think this snowman gift tag will do just that.
This Snowman Gift Tag would also be really cute as a Christmas ornament for you tree or you could even string them together for a really cute garland to hang over your fireplace or along your banister.
Here are a few things you need to know before starting your crochet snowman gift tag.
Pattern written in US terms.
Difficulty: Easy, beginner friendly
Abbreviations: CH (chain), SC (single crochet), DC (double crochet), SLST (slip stitch), MC (magic circle)
Note: You can use ribbon for the scarf if you prefer not to crochet a scarf for your snowman gift tag. Decorative ribbon would be really cute. I also recommend using a hot glue gun to attach the eyes to your snowman gift tag. The eyes are pretty small and can be a little fiddly to attach with a yarn needle.

I think this snowman gift tag turned out super cute!
Here are the items you will need to make this crochet snowman gift tag
Yarn: Any #4 worsted weight yarn will do. I used red heart super saver in the colors black, orange, hunter green, and white. You will need small amounts of all of these colors.
Crochet hook: 5mm and 2.5mm. You will need the 5mm crochet hook for the body and the scarf. The 2.5mm hook is for the eyes.
Yarn needle: Any yarn needle you have on hand will work. Just make sure the eye is large enough to fit your yarn through it. I like using metal yarn needles. I feel like they weave through the yarn much easier than the plastic ones do.
Scissors: Any pair of scissors you have on hand will do. I like using the smaller craft scissors because I can tuck them away in my crochet hook bag.

I don’t know about you, but I love listening to audio books or watching movies while I work on my crochet projects. I absolutely love Audible and Amazon Prime. I have included a few promotions in the highlighted links for both Audible and Amazon Prime so check them out.
Now let’s get started on this cute crochet snowman gift tag!
For the body (make 2)
Round 1: Using your 5mm crochet hook and your white yarn, Create a MC (magic circle), place 10 SC (single crochet) in your magic circle. Pull your tail tight to close up the circle. SLST (slip stitch) to the top of the first SC and CH (chain) 1. At the end of round 1 you should have 10 stitches.
Round 2: For round 2 place 2 SC in the CH 1 space, and 2 SC in each stitch all the way around. SLST to the top of the very first SC and CH 1. At the end of round 2 you should have 20 stitches.
Round 3: SC in the CH 1 space, place 2 SC in the next stitch. Repeat the pattern of *1 SC, 2 SC* all the way around. SLST to the top of the first SC and fasten off. At this point you can go ahead and weave in your yarn tails. At the end of round 3 you should have 30 stitches.
For the snowman scarf
With your green yarn (or what ever color you choose to use for the scarf) CH 32. DC (double crochet) in the 3rd CH from your hook, DC in each CH all the way to the end. Fasten off and weave in your yarn tails.
For the eyes (make 2):
With your 2.5mm crochet hook and your black yarn (you could also use black buttons and hot glue into place), create a MC. Place 4 SC inside the MC. Pull your tail tight to close and SLST to the top of the first MC. Fasten off and weave in yarn tails.
Putting it all together!
Step 1: Lay your 2 snowman bodies on top of each other with the right sides facing out. You are going to stitch about 5 stitches together to attach the 2 circles to one another. I like to insert my crochet hook in the back loop on one circle and the front loop of the other circle and attach my yarn. SC in 5 stitches attaching both together. Do not fasten off. We are going to continue to work around our snowman.
Step 2: Once your 2 circles are attached together you will SC along the edge of the snowman until you come to the center of the top portion. CH 6, place a SC in the next stitch (this just created your loop) and in each stitch all the way back around to where you started. SLST to the top of the first SC and fasten off. Weave in any yarn tails.
Step 3: Grab your crochet snowman scarf. Lay your snowman on top of the scarf at the neck (or the area where the 2 bodies meet), position your scarf the way you want it and either attach with green yarn or use a hot glue gun to attach to your snowman.
Step 4: Grab your cute little snowman eyes and your hot glue gun. Attach the eyes where you would like them to be on the snowman face. Note: If you want you could make 3 more of these and create cute little buttons. You could also use buttons for the eyes and the coal going down the belly if you wanted.
Step 5: With your yarn needle and your scrap orange yarn, insert your hook just off to the right and down below your left snowman eye. Create a longer line that slants downward toward the right eye. This is your carrot nose. I like to go over this 2 times to make it stand out a little better. You can now tie your two orange pieces in a knot on the back and weave in your orange yarn tails.
That is it. I think that this cute little crochet snowman gift tag will be the perfect addition to any of your gifts this year. If you like this crochet snowman gift tag pattern you will definitely like the crochet snowman gift card holder so make sure you check that one out as well. You will probably also like this fun Christmas inspired beanie. I hope you all enjoy making these fun projects.

Please know that I only recommend items that I regularly use and love.
Now, let’s get started on this Crochet Halloween Ghost Stuffy.
Round 1: Create a Magic Circle, Place 6 SC (single crochet) inside the MC. Pull the tail tight to close up the MC and SLST (slip stitch) to the top of the very first SC. At the end of round 1 you should have a total of 6 stitches.
Round 2: CH (chain) 1, Place 2 SC in the CH 1 space and place 2 SC in each stitch all the way around. SLST to the top of the first SC. At the end of round 2 you should have 12 stitches.
Round 3: CH 1, SC in the CH 1 space, now place 2 SC in the next stitch. Repeat *1 SC in the next stitch and 2 SC in the next* all the way around. SLST to the top of the first SC. At the end of round 3 you should have 18 stitches.
Round 4: CH 1, SC in the CH 1 space and in the next stitch. Now, place 2 SC in the next stitch. Repeat * 1 SC in the next 2 stitches, 2 SC in the next stitch*. SLST to the top of the first SC. At the end of round 4 you should have 24 stitches.
Round 5: CH 1, SC in the CH 1 space and in the next 2 stitches. Now, place 2 SC in the next stitch. Repeat * 1 SC in the next 3 stitches, 2 SC in the next stitch*. SLST to the top of the first SC. At the end of round 5 you should have 30 stitches.
Round 6: CH 1, SC in the CH 1 space and in the next 3 stitches. Now place 2 SC in the next stitch. Repeat * 1 SC in the next 4 stitches, 2 SC in the next stitch* SLST to the top of the first SC. At the end of round 6 you should have 36 stitches.
Rounds 7-17: CH 1, SC in the CH 1 space and in each stitch all the way around. SLST to the top of the first SC. At the end of each round you should still have 36 SC.
For the Crochet Halloween Ghost Stuffy Face:
Place your safety eyes between rounds 10 and 11 in the front of the crochet halloween ghost. Make sure your safety eyes are placed 5 stitches apart and the backs are snapped on nice and tight. That way if this is a gift for a small child it will not be a choking hazard.
With your small amount of black yarn threaded onto your yarn needle, create your mouth. I like to go down 1 row and 1 stitch over from the first eye and create a line going down 1 row at an angle. I then go 1 row down and 1 stitch over from the second eye at an angle and create my second line. This will create the mouth. You can always reference the picture if you aren’t sure what I am talking about. Make sure you tie in a knot and weave in your yarn tails for the mouth. At this point I also like to weave in the yarn tail from the magic circle.
Back to the Crochet Halloween Ghost Stuffy Body:
Round 18: CH 1, In the BLO (back loop only), SC in the CH 1 space and in each stitch all the way around. SLST to the top of the first SC. At the end of round 18 you will still have 36 stitches.
Round 19: CH 1, still working in the BLO, SC in the CH 1 space and in the next stitch, now SC2TOG (single crochet 2 stitches together. Repeat * 1 SC in the next 2 stitches, SC2TOG* SLST to the top of the first SC. At the end of round 19 you should have 30 SC.
Round 20: CH 1, SC in the CH 1 space and in the next 2 stitches, SC2TOG. Repeat * 1 SC in the next 3 stitches, SC2TOG* SLST to the top of the first SC. At the end of round 20 you should have a total of 24 stitches.
Round 21: CH 1, SC in the CH 1 Space and in the next 3 stitches, SC2TOG. Repeat * 1 SC in the next 4 stitches, SC2TOG* SLST to the top of the first SC. AT the end of round 21 you should have 18 SC.
Note: At this point I like to start stuffing the body of my Crochet Halloween Ghost. Make sure to stuff it pretty full but try to not over stuff. You still want it to sit flat when on a table or desk.
Round 22: CH 1, SC in the CH 1 Space, SC2TOG. Repeat *SC in 1 stitch, SC2TOG* all the way around. SLST to the top of the first SC. At the end of round 22 you should have 12 stitches.
Round 23: CH 1, SC2TOG all the way around. SLST to the top of the first SC. At the end of round 23 you should have 6 stitches. Fasten off and leave a yarn tail long enough for you to close up the small hole on the bottom. I like to do this by weaving my needle through each stitch around and pulling tight. I then like to create a “X” by stitching across and lastly tying a knot. You can then poke the needle through the bottom part of the ghost and out the top and pull the yarn through. Once you clip the yarn you will no longer have a visible yarn tail.
For the Crochet Halloween Ghost Stuffy Ruffle:
Attach your white yarn to the “front loops” of round 18. Repeat *SC, HDC (half double crochet), DC (double crochet), TRC (triple crochet), DC, HDC, SC* all the way around. SLST to the top of the first SC where you attached your yarn. You will have a total of 36 stitches. Fasten off your work and weave in your yarn tails.

Round 4: CH 2, place 2 DC in the CH 2 space, DC in the next 2 stitches. Repeat the pattern of *2 DC in the first, 1 DC in the next 2 stitches* all the way around. SLST to the tip of the first DC. at the end of round 4 you should have a total of 40 stitches.

Row 19: SC2TOG the only 2 remaining stitches. Fasten off and leave a yarn tail long enough to attach the mouth to your Oogie Boogie beanie.
Attaching the eyes and mouth to the Oogie Boogie Beanie.
Thread your yarn needle with your yarn tail. Place your eyes where you would like them to sit on your beanie. I place mine with the tops of the eyes at the bottom of round 5. Making sure you hold your eye in place the entire time so it does not go on crooked, stitch your eyes to the first layer of your Oogie Boogie Beanie. Do this all the way around the edge of the eye. When you get back to where you started, weave your remaining yarn tail into the back of the beanie. Do the same thing with your other eye and with the mouth.
Adding the eyebrows and the lines under the eyes:
With a long piece of yarn threaded on your yarn needle, insert your yarn needle from under the hat through the front. I started at the bottom of row 8 and stitched a long line up to the end of row 5 at a slight angle. I then poked my yarn needle from the inside of the beanie at the middle of row 5 of the beanie and the top of the eye, I then stitched a long line back down to where the last stitch ended at the end of row 5. I then went over these lines one more time to make it stand out a little more. Push your needle to the inside of the hat and weave in your yarn tails and clip your yarn.
Now for adding the lines under the eyes, start at row 10 and place your lines under your eyes to your liking. I placed mine about halfway along the bottom portion of the eye. I just went back and forth over the line 2 times so it would stand out. Weave your yarn tails in the underside of the beanie and clip your yarn.
Adding the stitching to the mouth:
With a long piece of black yarn, create stitches along the entire outside edge of the mouth. Again you will want to go over them 2 times so the lines stand out. Weave your yarn tails in and clip your yarn.
If you love this Oogie Boogie Beanie you will love the Jack Skellington Beanie as well. Why not make the matching set for your kiddos or you and your friends or spouse.
I hope you all enjoy making this Oogie Boogie Beanie as much as I did. Make sure you check me out on social media and subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss out on any of my fun tutorials. Happy crocheting from the Montana White’s!
Well Hello Crochet Friends!!! I hope you all are doing well and staying warm this winter. Today’s project brings you the beginning of my Christmas Crochet Projects. I absolutely love Christmas and decided to make a project for everyday that I was off this year (basically Monday through Thursday). This Easy Christmas Wine Cozy is the first of my many projects that I will be posting here through the month of December.
This Easy Christmas Wine Cozy is super easy to create and is the perfect gift bag for that bottle of wine you are gifting this year. I think it’s a fun way to jazz up that bottle of wine and show that you went the extra step to make the gift extra special.
You are going to need a few things for this Easy Christmas Wine Cozy so let’s get started.
Easy Christmas Wine Cozy Supplies
Crochet Hook: 6mm crochet hook. I love the crochet hooks that have the silicone handles. If you would like to purchase a set of crochet hooks from them you can do so in the highlighted link above.
Yarn: I used a#4 worsted weight yarn for this project in the color’s white, delft blue, black, and orange, I used red heart super saver. You can purchase these colors in the highlighted link above.
Buttons: Any style of buttons will work, so get creative with the colors and make this Crochet Snowman Wine Cozy your own.
Yarn Needle: I like a metal yarn needle over the plastic ones. I feel like the metal yarn needles weave through the yarn much easier.
Craft Scissors: Any pair of scissors will work. I use smaller craft scissors because they easily fit in my crochet hook bag, making is so much easier to travel with. Feel free to use what ever scissors you have on hand.

Happy November Everyone! I can’t believe it’s already November! Just like all of you, I have no idea where the year has gone. Today’s post brings me to this really cute Crochet Hat Pattern requested by a friend. I think it’s perfect for the entire month of November.
My dear friend wanted something festive that she could wear the entire month. She didn’t say what, so I let my creativity flow and created this really cute Crochet Turkey Hat for her. It’s not a normal fall here in Montana as the days are still in the 50’s but it’s still in the teens and low 20’s of the morning. Most of us Montanans don’t even bother putting on a coat or hat but sometimes we feel like being festive.
I took to my dwindling yarn stash once again and found the perfect colors for this hat. Not to self, I need to stock up on brown and white. I used every last scrap I had to create this Crochet Hat. I hope you enjoy making this hat as much as I did. Please leave comments and pictures below, I’d love to see your finished projects.

At the end pull the yarn tight to close the chain into a ball. Clip your yarn and secure the two tails with a knot. This is what you will use to attach the pom pom to your hat.
Assembly: Attach your two eyes to the hat. I like to use a whip stitch to attach the eyes. Make sure to place them as close together as possible. I think it looks cute with the eyes touching each other. Weave in your ends. Now grab your beak. Place just below the eyes and attach with a whip stitch to the crochet hat, weave in your ends. Next, place your waddle just above the beak and below the eyes. Attach to the crochet hat with a whip stitch. Weave in your tails. Lastly, pull your two yarn tails from the pom pom through the very top of the hat. Secure with a knot and weave in your ends. Grab your hot glue gun and preheat. Glue your googly eyes to the middle of the white eyes and you are done!

Today’s blog post has me thinking of Thanksgiving. This year we will be spending it in Colorado with our eldest daughter. She lives in a small apartment so we will be renting a house to stay in and celebrate Thanksgiving. I wanted to make something that was going to be easy to take with us for our visit to Colorado.
I dug through my yarn stash (yes, I have a yarn stash and it’s quite embarrassing, although mostly scrap yarn, lol) to see if I had colors that reminded me of Thanksgiving. Not to my surprise, I actually had all the colors I had in mind. I sat down with a Thanksgiving Crochet Table Runner in mind. At first I was going too do just one color and incorporate all the colors in the border and the fringe. I later decided that I wanted this Crochet Table Runner to be multiple colors. Colors of gold, orange, Burgundy, teal, brown, and green made this table runner the perfect addition for our out of town Thanksgiving.
The color combination in this table runner just screams Thanksgiving!

Now for the Crochet Thanksgiving Table Runner
Note: When changing yarn colors work to the last stitch of the row. Insert your hook into the very last stitch, you should have 2 loops on your hook. Take the color of yarn you are switching to and draw it through the two loops. Chain 1. I like to secure my two different yarn pieces with a knot to ensure it will not come loose in the wash. I then weave in all my ends at the end of the project.
Row 1-6: With gold, chain 63. SC (single crochet) in the 2nd CH (chain) from the hook, *Skip 1 CH (chain), 2 SC (single crochet) in the next stitch*. Repeat this pattern until you have 1 stitch left, SC (single crochet) in the very last stitch. CH (chain) 1 and turn your work. Continue working this pattern for the next 5 rows for a total of 6 rows. At the end of each row you should have a total of 62 stitches. At the end of row 6switch to your brown yarn.
Rows 7-9: With your brown yarn, repeat row 6. (SC, Skip 1 stitch, 2SC, remember only 1 SC in the very last stitch). At the end of each row you should still have a total of 62 single crochet. At the end of row 9, Switch to your green yarn.
Rows 10-16: With your green yarn, repeat row 9. At the end of each row you should still have a total of 62 stitches. At the end of row 16 switch to your brown yarn.
Rows 17-19: With your brown yarn, repeat row 16. At the end of each row you should still have a total of 62 stitches. At the end of row 19 switch to your orange yarn.
Rows 20-26: With your orange yarn, repeat row 19. At the end of each row you should still have a total of 62 stitches. At the end of row 26 switch to your brown yarn.
Rows 27-29: With your brown yarn, repeat row 26. At the end of each row you should still have a total of 62 stitches. At the end of row 29 switch to your maroon yarn.
Rows 30-36: With your maroon yarn, repeat row 29. At the end of each row you should still have a total of 62 stitches. At the end of row 36 switch to your brown yarn.
Rows 37-39: With your brown yarn, repeat row 36. At the end of each row you should still have a total of 62 stitches. At the end of row 39 switch to your teal yarn.
Rows 40-46: With your teal yarn, repeat row 39. At the end of each row you should still have a total of 62 stitches. At the end of row 46 switch to your brown yarn.
Rows 47-49: With your brown yarn, repeat row 46. At the end of each row you should still have a stitch count of 62. At the end of row 49 switch to your gold yarn.
All remaining rows: From here on out, repeat the above pattern, switching between colors. You should still have a stitch count of 62 at the end of each row. I repeated the colors one more time but you can repeat it as many times as you would like. It all depends on the size of your table. At the end of your very last row, fasten off and weave in all of your ends. Don’t forget that when weaving in your ends you go back and forth at least 3 times. That way when you wash it nothing comes loose.
For the Boarder: Insert your crochet hook anywhere along the top or sides (just not in a corner). I chose to use brown but you can use any color you want. SC (single crochet) in each stitch until you come to a corner. In the corner place 3 SC (single crochet) in the same stitch. Continue along placing a SC in each stitch until you come to the corner again. Repeat this all the way around to the very first SC. SLST (slip stitch) to the top of the first single crochet where you attached your yarn. Fasten off and weave in your yarn end.
For the Fringe: With your brown yarn, wrap around the palm of your hand 20-30 times. The more wraps you have the more yarn pieces you will have. Clip your yarn and pull off of your hand, holding on to the top loops of the yarn clip the bottom pieces. Now you have a good amount of yarn to start with. Take 2 strands of yarn and fold them in half, with your crochet hook inserted through the stitch, pull through but not all the way. Take the loop at the bottom and thread it over the pieces of yarn that has not been drawn through. Now, pull your yarn pieces tight and your have your first piece of fringe attached. Repeat this along the bottom in every single crochet. Feel free to alternate colors if you wish.
I hope that you enjoyed making this fun Thanksgiving Crochet Table Runner! I look forward to seeing your photos of your Thanksgiving table. Have fun with it. Mix up the colors, you don’t have to use the same colors as me. That’s what makes it unique. Want a few gift ideas this holiday season?

Materials needed:

Crochet Hook: 5.5mm (I/9), lately I have really been digging the crochet hooks with the silicone handles. I just love the way they feel in my hand.

Yarn Needle: Any yarn needle with an eye big enough to fit your worsted weight yarn through.

Puffy Pumpkin Coffee Cozy
As promised, here is my YouTube tutorial for this puffy pumpkin coffee cozy!
Round 1: Chain 25, DC (double crochet) in second chain from your hook. DC in each stitch all the way to the end. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first double crochet. Chain 1 and turn your work. You should have a total of 24 stitches.
Round 2: FPDC (front post double crochet), BPDC (back post double crochet) all the way around to the end. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first FPDC. You should still have a total of 24 stitches. Learn how to create a FPDC and BPDC here.
Rounds 3-8: Repeat round 2. You should still have a total of 24 stitches. At the end of round 8 change to your green yarn. Chain 1 and turn your work.
Round 9: Working over your green and orange yarn tails, HDC (half double crochet) in the same stitch as your chain 1 and in every stitch all the way around to the end. Join with a slip stitch to the top of your first HDC. Finish off and weave in your ends. You should have a total of 24 stitches.
For the Leaf:
With your green yarn, chain 8, DC (double crochet) in the 3rd stitch from your hook, DC in the next 2 stitches, HDC in the next 2 stitches, SC in the next stitch, 2 SLST in the last stitch (you are now turned and working around the other side of the leaf), SC in next stitch, HDC in next 2 stitches, DC in the next 2 stitches, SLST to the top of the first DC. That’s it, your cute little leaf is complete. Now finish off and leave a tail long enough to sew on your leaf.
For the Stem:
Using your brown yarn, Chain 5, HDC in 2nd chain from the hook. HDC in each stitch to the end. Finish off and leave a long enough tail to sew on your stem.
Attaching your Leaf and Stem: With your yarn needle, place your stem where you would like it to be on the cozy. This is completely up to you. Thread your yarn needle and attach the stem via whip stitch to the body of the cozy, making sure to finish with the needle on the inside of the cozy, weave in your ends. Now, do the same thing with your leaf. I layered my leaf on top of my stem at an angle and it turned out really cute.
Now onto the next Drink Cozy!

Row 2: SCDEC (single crochet decrease) two times. Chain 1 and turn your work. Learn how to do a SCDEC here.
Row 3: SCDEC once. This will create the point of the eyes and nose. Finish off your work leaving a tail long enough to sew on the eyes and nose.
Sewing on the Eyes and Nose: Threading the yarn tail from the eyes and nose place them on your cozy where you would like. Sew them on using a whip stitch. That’s it. Super simple, now weave your ends into the back of the cozy.
Making the Mouth: Take a long piece of black yarn and thread it through your needle. Pick a starting point and make the mouth any shape you’d like. I gave mine a half crooked smile. Back stitch piece by piece to the the shape and thickness you want.
Turn over and sew on the buttons: Place the buttons in the back where they line up with the crochet button holes you created. Take your yarn needle and a small piece of black or orange yarn and attach the buttons to the back side of the cozy.
That’s it! Super simple to make and a quick project to boot. I hope you enjoy making these cute Crochet Drink Cozy’s as much as I did.
