Hot Cocoa Mug Blanket
The blanket rolls up to look just like a cozy cup of hot cocoa and is buttoned so it can double as decoration or pillow. This pattern uses both knit and crochet as written, though I think it can be adapted by an experienced knitter. The blanket itself looks like knit. I'm guessing the handle is crochet, but I think a knit i-cord could work as well. Jumbo weight yarn. Designed by CrochetCollector.
