XOXO cables make this cup cozy the perfect warm hug for your drink.
A replacement for cardboard sleeves, mug sleeves add insulation to keep your drink warm and keep your fingers protected from hot cups. (The dreaded “my hand is getting hotter and hotter but I have nowhere to put this cup down” syndrome.)
The button closure allows it to open and pass through cup handles to use at home with your favorite coffee or tea mug. The cozy fits best on 11oz-15oz mugs and 16oz to 20oz to-go cups, but knitting is stretchy.
