Crochet Mug Sleeve

This was one of the many projects I made in 2011 for Christmas presents for my family. Basically do a chain stitch which goes from the top of the mug to the bottom of the mug. Then double crochet until it's long enough to wrap all the way around. I did crochet "hooks" of 8-10 chain stitches which go around the top and bottom parts of the each spot where the handle connects to the cup to fasten the sleeve closed around the mug. This only took me about an hour to whip up and the buttons were put on using the same color yarn.
