Do you love slowly falling snow while walking with a warm cup of coffee (in a reusable cup)? Do you hate using cardboard cup cozies because you’re hoping to do your part for the environment?

This winter-themed cup cozy is the perfect addition to the aspiring low-waste, never-not-knitting, coffee fan!

A great pair for the Holiday Doodle Cowl and Hat, this cozy takes four of the most popular mix-and-match mini charts and uses them in the perfect micro pattern (can you say colorwork swatch in the round?)

Main motifs included: Pine Trees, Snowflakes, Buffalo Check Plaid, and Festive Lights.

Using small amounts of 2-3 colors, this is pattern lends itself to mixing coordinating colors of leftovers, stash, or yarn scraps!

The pattern is knit in the round, bottom up, using circular short needles (or DPNs or magic loop, if you prefer)
