Very cute!
I love this pattern, but I"m having a 'moment' as I can't get what your stitch pattern is on each side of the 12 stitch center panel. From the photo, is is (RS) P1, K2, cable pattern, K2, P1? Thank you!
The Hugs and Kisses mug cozy is so cute. Do you sell them and if so how much? Thanks. Lisa
I'm having the same "moment" that Dobarah is having. It says to co 18 stitches, but the pattern itself is only 12 stitches wide. Am I completely missing where the other 6 stitches went or what I'm supposed to do for them?
Thank you so much for adding in those extra stitches! I was about to do that myself, but I knew I'd probably add the wrong ones in. *grins*
This is absolutely adorable -- perfect for my boys' six teachers and assistants I need to give inexpensive Valentine's gifts to in a month. Thank you for sharing! I found you through Ravelry (:
