Mug warmers

A while ago on a cold winters evening... a few friends and I gathered around a cosy fireplace and we crocheted and knitted...

I found this simple pattern on Ravelry and decided to try it out on this creative evening...

It gets a cute color lining around the top and along the handle...

Eventually I made 6 mug warmers ... playing with red and sand colours.  I think it would be so cute to use for soup when served as a first course during a meal...
