On the ninth day of Christmas I made crocheted this for you, a reindeer coffee mug cozy! Creating coffee/cup cozies are probably one of my favorite things to crochet. They are very simple to crochet and yet still incredibly cute! Today I crocheted a Rudolph the red nose reindeer coffee cozy for you guys! I used one of my previous crochet patterns to create the actual cozy part but I change things up by adding a strap to hold your spoon (or candy cane). If you want to make this a regular reindeer you can just make the nose dark brown or black instead of red.

Assembly
Sew on the ears and antlers to the top of the cozy to create the reindeer’s head. Next, sew the nose in the middle of the cozy. For eyes, you can either cut out eyes out of fell or you can use black yarn to create the reindeer’s eyes. I used felt because I like how it looked.
Strap
– Ch 4, sc starting with the 2nd st from hook, sc 3. Total = 3 sts
– Ch 1, sc 3 (x4). Total = 3
Cut off, leaving long tail for sewing
Turn the piece to the side. Sew the ends of the strap to the cozy. You are done!
