Since I had such a wonderful response to this picture on Facebook, I decided it would be a good thing to have a permanent page where I could share the free patterns, even the ones I didn't write.<br />
<br />
So here you go:<br />
<br />
Santa Cup Cozy: This beautiful cozy was designed by Jennifer of Tw-in Stitches. I used Hobby Lobby's I Love This Cotton in Red, White, White Sparkle and Antique Cream for the face. You can find Jennifer's pattern on her blog here: <a href="http://www.twinstitches.com/2014/12/santa-cup-cozy-free-pattern.html">http://www.twinstitches.com/2014/12/santa-cup-cozy-free-pattern.html</a><br />
<br />
Bird Cozy: I used the same simple body pattern as the reindeer using I Love This Cotton in Christmas II. The applique for the adorable bird is by Janet of Damn it Janet, let's crochet. You can find the bird pattern on her blog here:<a href="http://damnitjanetletscrochet.blogspot.com/2012/01/bird-applique.html"> http://damnitjanetletscrochet.blogspot.com/2012/01/bird-applique.html</a><br />
<br />
My Reindeer pattern is here<a href="http://www.foreverettcrocheting.com/2015/12/free-reindeer-cup-cozy-crochet-pattern.html">: http://www.foreverettcrocheting.com/2015/12/free-reindeer-cup-cozy-crochet-pattern.html</a><br />
<br />
My Snowman pattern is here:<a href="http://www.foreverettcrocheting.com/2015/11/hello-i-recently-found-some-great.html"> http://www.foreverettcrocheting.com/2015/11/hello-i-recently-found-some-great.html </a><br />
<br />
Thank you to all of you who responded with such kind words about this picture and these patterns. I'd love to see these cozies in more teacher's hands this winter break.<br />
