The weather has been kind to us and the sun has been shining abundantly this past weekend. It does great things for my mood! That’s why I sat down and designed a new mug cozy. This one is seriously cute. The easter bunny mug cozy makes for a great last-minute gift!

Crochet pattern
Basic cozy
N.B. the 11 ch in Row 16 are depending on the size of the button. A large button requires more chains to fit.
Ears (make 2)
Pompom
Following the instructions on your pompom maker, make a small pompom (approx. 3-4cm in diameter) for the butt.
Assembly
To make the ears stand up straight, I used an ironing stiffening spray before assembly. Alternatively, you can follow the instructions in this pattern to make them even more stiff with wallpaper glue.
With Colour A, sew the button on the cozy. with Colour B, sew the pompom on the back of the cozy (the part where the button string is).
Next, loosely place your ears on the opposite side of the cozy. Make sure the ears are aligned left and right from the pompon and the lower part of the ears is approximately 3 rows from the top. If you’re happy with the alignment, sew them on tight with Colour B.
