Free Crochet Pattern – Winterberry Mug Cozy

This Winterberry Mug Cozy is such a sweet little project, and honestly it ticks a lot of boxes for me. It is a free crochet mug cozy pattern by Michelle Moore of MJ’s Off The Hook Designs, updated March 15, 2026, and it is designed as a quick, practical make with a textured stitch pattern and a crocheted bow closure.

What really makes this one feel current is the bow detail. Bows are having such a moment right now, and this pattern leans into that trend in a way that still feels useful rather than overdone. Instead of being fussy, the bow gives the mug cozy a cute handmade finish that makes it perfect for gifting, market stalls, or just making your morning tea feel a bit prettier. The pattern page also notes it works up fast, uses minimal yarn, and is ideal for gifts, markets, and stash busting.

I also like that it is practical. The pattern is made to fit a 12 oz mug, uses worsted weight yarn, and calls for only about 45 yards for one cozy and 15 yards for one bow, so it is very much the kind of small project you can squeeze in between bigger makes.
