Crochet Hug Mug Coffee Cozy

I love winter afternoons while drinking warm coffees and crocheting! Yesterday I spotted this lovely mug cozy! I immediately fell in love with it but unfortunately there was no crochet pattern available! So I grabbed my hook, my favorite mug and started crocheting away! I used a 4.00mm (G) crochet hook and acrylic yarn in light brown, red and white! The pattern can easily be adjusted to fit around your favorite mug!

Hug Mug Cozy Pattern
Mug Body
With 4.00mm (G) hook and light brown yarn
Determine the length of your mug (mine was 4inc) so I started by chaining 14. The whole body is crocheted through back loops only to add some texture! I crocheted back and forth for 5 rows when I had to create the opening for the mug handles. 
For the opening chain 13 and slip stitch to last stitch. Ch 1 and continue crocheting back and forth in rows as previously before breaking up for the opening! Do not crochet until the two parts of the body reach each other. Instead attach white yarn and crochet around entire body. Repeat another time so as to have two rows of white. Upon reaching the first end make some button holes by *ch3 (sk3 sts) and slip stitch in next st*, repeat from * 3 times. You will end up with 4 button holes.
Fasten off. 
Sew buttons on the opposite side where you made the button holes.
