I love a piping hot cup of coffee or tea in the morning. I also like squishy yarn to protect my wood surfaces from said cups, so I perused Ravelry and Pinterest looking for a good mug rug pattern.

This shawl was inspired by the pattern from a scarf that my daughter gave me in San Francisco. I loved the open but not too open look of it, plus I received many compliments on it so I decided to try it in a larger size.
