Grumpy Octopus Coffee Cup Cozy

I’ve always liked crochet cozies, they’re along the lines of amigurumi – a somewhat useless decorative item, but super adorable! Actually, I’m amending my statement. Some cozies can be very useful to keep beverages hot, or cold, depending on the item. Which brings us to today’s post topic!

You may remember that I’m also kind of fond of cephalopods, particularly octopi. (Maybe that’s my next project – an octopus adorned with π!) Then the stars aligned and I discovered this.

The Grumpy Octopus Coffee Cup Cozy. How awesomely creative is that?

I think it’s designed to fit a typical Starbucks cup, but it fits the “Mini LiquiSeal Travel Mug” which was a nice surprise. Since the coffee cup fits most single-serving coffee makers, this would make a great gift, if you know the recipient has that kind! Or put it on a Starbucks cup and send it with a gift certificate. Ooh, maybe this can be my next white elephant gift. 🙂

It has gotten several compliments already…I mean, who can resist a grumpy octopus? Thanks, Twinkie Chan, for creating this awesomeness.

Hope you’re having a non-grumpy day (but the octopi would probably be okay!)
