Quirky Boots: Halloween fun - spooky mug cosie

"Hi, my names Katie and I have a huge love for all things crafty. What started out with paper, glue and scissors has grown uncontrollably to hooks, needles and who knows what next!

When Deanne asked me to create something for Halloween, I knew it had to be a "Mug Cosie" inspired by Deanne herself. I fell in love with these from the Quirky Boots blog and learnt to crochet, just so I could make them myself!

So here it is, a spookylicious mug cosie to adorn any party table, fill with scrummy treats or just sit back and indulge while you wait for the door bell to ring...
I hope you enjoy this pattern, do share your creations with me as I'd love to see them. And please credit where credit is due.

Wishing you all a fabulously, "Quirky" and super creative Halloween.
