MUG COASTER COZY

I've been battling a cold that has been hanging on for a while.

Needless to say, I don't have much energy to do anything.

So I rest on my sofa, I crocheted this cozy.

The coaster portion is worked in continuous rounds; 

do not sl st to join.  At row 7, you begin working

back and forth in rows.  The coaster cozy will

fit your standard 10-11 oz. mug.
