Keeping your drink hot can be important, but keeping it hot in style is even more important! A quick knit, this gift-worthy pattern is both fun and useful.

All slipped stitches are slipped purlwise.

If desired, attach rubberized mat strip to back side of mug blanket for insulation and to keep blanket from slipping while you enjoy your ho-o-t drink. Note: Make sure to stretch the blanket to its logical size when attaching the mat because the rubber will block it to a specific dimension
