You might well be wondering, as I was, what on earth a mug hug might be. It is one of those very useful items you will wonder how you did without, unless you live in a country where it never gets cold! These ingenious wee jackets keep your drinks hot, as they should be until it is time for you to drink them and yes, they really do work. Here are twenty of them to make, plus another twenty variations to inspire you. Most of these will be fine for knitters who know the basics, with a few more challenging projects (eg cable, intarsia, Fair Isle) for those who fancy flexing their knitting muscles a little more. Most of the projects are fairly plain but dressed up with fancy buttons or other trims, making them quick to make up and ideal for fundraisers, stocking fillers or even party favors. Choose from floral, Celtic, Christmas, seasonal, animal and abstract designs to suit most tastes. One word of warning it that it is a good idea to look carefully at the picture of the mug modelling your chosen hug, as this will help determine the type of vessel it is meant for and the shape of handle. Don't be like me and make a hug suitable for a tubby mug with a large handle for a tall skinny one with a smaller, fancier handle. Knitting stretches but it does not shrink to fit and mugs vary vastly in shape and size. This is a truly useful and unusual book, and pretty much guaranteed to please anybody you make one of these hugs for. Now I need to go buy a fatter mug with a larger handle --Myshelf.com

Format:Paperback
This is a really good book and has some wonderful designs to make. All the instructions are clear and precise. I love the strawberry mug hug and also the beads and butterflies, they are all so pretty it is difficult to know which to make first. Would recommend for beginners and experts alike, lots of choice and scope for plenty of your own variations

Format:Paperback
simple ideas to use up any left over wool, as each one takes such a little to make. Small enough for inexperienced knitters to practise new skills on. Great for those impending dark winter nights when you can make something in an evening. Buy some cheap white mugs and make a cover for them for christmas presents or fayres.
