Book Reveiw: Knitted Mug Hugs

Knitted Mug Hugs by Val Pierce is part of the 20 to Make series of books. I reviewed others of this series in this post (knitted fast food) and this post (eco-friendly knits).

The purpose of these mug hugs is to insulate your hands against the heat given off by hot drinks and to decorate your mug with a personalised cover saving you from muddling up mugs from a set and getting Earl Gray tea instead of coffee (this hasn't happened to me yet but knowing my luck it probably will).

Several of the patterns have variant designs for the decoration to achieve a different look for the same mug hug such as the hug with a fluffy sheep on it can be transformed into a hug with sophisticated rose instead.

All the patterns use either DK or 4ply yarns with 3.25-4mm sized needles.

Knitted mug hugs retails for £4.99
