Modifications: I ended up going too far with the second cable so I decided to make it an elongated cable. Then, because everything has to be symmetrical I did another short cable after it. The finished piece looks nice but it is pretty tall. I do think that gauge is an issue for this (unlike what the pattern states). I personally do not like cozy's that go up to the rim of the cup. This meant I needed to go on a hunt for a taller, cheap cup. Thankfully I found one that was perfect. Oh, I also love the buttons for this! Yay!
Make this pattern again? I don't know, probably not. There are many fantastic cup-cozy's out there for me to try. This one would be a bit unreliable as to what the finished result would be but I do believe that it was a good one for this particular project because it went with a hat and arm warmers set.
What I learned/practiced in this pattern: I practiced putting on buttons and cables.
Love,
LeeAnn
