Everyone knows it is hard to find a gift for someone who has everything they could ever want or need or people who have unique taste. That is when I turn to my bag of crocheting tricks. I made my sister a scarf out of our alpaca Paco's wool once. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture in my haste to finish on time! I also made my mom a 4th of July table runner.
I like the old-school Americana look for the fourth of July.
If my mom wants something, she usually gets it herself. What can I, as a low-income college student, afford to get my mom that she can't afford to get herself? Crocheting is basically the only worthwhile gifting skill I have. So I talked to my mom and we settled on a coffee cup cozy.
They take about... 30 minutes to an hour to make, depending on the intricacy of the pattern. For me personally, basket weaving takes me a bit longer. I adapted this pattern from a free online download. I like how it looks like a basket and is in a basket type of color.
It looks big here. Size comparison below

Any coffee lovers out there with a few spare dollars? I would be more than happy to design something with you. They can have more than one color, zigzags, etc.
Get at me in the comments section.
Bow love,
Bow Girl
