January Kimberbell Club: Friends Warm the Heart Mug Hug

Remember braiding friendship bracelets from embroidery floss in 6th grade? Clever piecing in-the-hoop makes the fabric on this mug hug appear braided. And, just like those bracelets, you'll want to make one for every friend. Perfect for pairing with a hot coca or coffee cup, a kind sentiment finishes the mug hug. With three sizes to choose from, mug hugs are beautiful as a candle wrap, too.
