Product Description
I deesigned this mug cosy to add a sweet touch to your favourite cup of tea. Five little bunnies decorate the cosy - this is an excellent project to practice your colour work on as it’s a quick, satisfying knit. They also make wonderful gifts! The wool keeps your tea (or coffee) beautifully warm, and also shows off the colourwork to its best.
This pattern is a combination of written & charted instructions.
It includes:
How to read a knitting chart
Written instructions to finish off your cosy
Full list of materials, needles and notions needed
Needles: 1 pair 3.75mm needles & 1 pair 3.75mm double-pointed needles (for the i-cord)
Materials: You’ll need small amounts of DK weight yarn in 4 colours. Wool or Alpaca yarn is best for colourwork as the fibres mesh together, creating a better finish than when knitted in cotton yarns.
Marshmallow Bunny Mug Cosy
What is Being Made
The Marshmallow Bunny Mug Cosy is an original knitted design by Say! Little Hen, created by designer Sarah Price. This project is a small, decorative mug cosy featuring a bunny motif with a marshmallow theme. The finished piece is designed to slip over a standard mug, providing both insulation and a charming handmade aesthetic. This knit is particularly well-suited as a thoughtful gift item.
Techniques Used
This intermediate-level knitting project focuses on colour work as its primary technique. The pattern incorporates a knitting chart that displays the bunny design across the mug cosy. The designer specifically recommends that knitters new to colour work take time to read the "How to Read a Knitting Chart" instructions included in the pattern. This makes the Marshmallow Bunny Mug Cosy an excellent practice project for developing colour work skills in a small, manageable format.
Stitches and Construction
The pattern is worked in a stitch pattern that maintains a tension of 24 stitches by 28 rows over 10 centimetres (4 inches). The cosy is constructed using standard knitting techniques with the colour work chart as the focal design element. The intermediate difficulty level indicates that knitters should have foundational knitting skills before beginning this project.
Materials Required
- Yarn: Small amounts of DK weight yarn in 4 colours. The pattern accommodates both wool and alpaca yarn options, with specific yarn recommendations available from the Say! Little Hen shop
- Needles: 3.75mm knitting needles
This compact project requires minimal yardage, making it an economical choice for stash-busting or trying new colour combinations without committing to large quantities of yarn.
