Reindeer Coffee Cozy ♥ Crochet Pattern
Hi, it’s Michelle from 2025! I’ve been going back to my past crochet patterns and reformatting my old patterns so that they’re easier to understand. I first posted this pattern back in 2015! It was part of my ’12 Days of DIY’ Blogmas series, where I would post 12 DIY projects leading up to Christmas in December. Baby Michelle was sure ambitious! lol
I love creating cozies, especially coffee cup/mug cozies. They’re so fun and simple to crochet, and they always turn out so incredibly cute! This coffee cozy was inspired by reindeer. I also added a strap to the side so that it can hold your spoon or candy cane! Check out my free patterns for more coffee cozy crochet patterns.
If you crochet this project, you can post it on Ravelry or tag me @mooeyscrochet so that I can see your creation. If you would like to support me in making this crochet pattern available for free, you can send me a Ko-fi.
