The N Stitch Mug Cozy
N Stitch Crochet Mug Cozy Pattern
The N Stitch crochet mug cozy is exactly what it says – its a mug cozy made using the N stitch.
You need this N Stitch Mug Cozy! Also called mug rugs, these are great scrap busters. They made great gifts for just about anyone – relatives, friends, teachers, house-warming gifts, donations… And they are a cute addition to hampers.
Here in the UK people drink hot drinks all year round. We are known for our love of a nice cup of hot tea after all! So, on those meh days these are great when you just want to pop on that oversized sweater and curl up with a book or movie and your favourite hot beverage.
Have you tried the N stitch?
We originally used it in the farmhouse spa set. And it wasn’t until we were asked to use this set for a CAL in another group that we realised how many people had not heard of this stitch! I mean, it’s gorgeous. And it’s not as complicated as it looks. It requires you to know how to do a half double crochet and a slip stitch.
We also use this stitch in our Shades of Spring afghan. Again, most of our testers hadn’t come across it before. One, a designer friend, went on to use it in a design for a preemie hat and blanket. There was a good four or five stitches that none of the testers had come across in the afghan. But they enjoyed them all! It made us realise just how many stitches there are that are under-used and under-appreciated by designers.

working into the skipped stitch, insert hook from top to bottom of front loop only,
yo, pull up a loop, yo, pull thru ONE loop, yo,
insert hook back into the stitch you did the first hdc, yo, pull up a loop, yo, pull through all 4 loops on hook.
