It's still sweater weather in many parts of the country, so while you're bundled up in your eco-wool, why not share the warmth with your favorite cup of java?

Etsy seller La Femme Monkita crafted reusable and washable coffee cozies are made from the latest green fabric called modal. This is a smart way to reduce coffee sleeve waste, and for those of us who are more than a little bleary-eyed in the morning (with a corresponding tendency for spillage), you'll find the cozy also serves as a handy sponge.

This would make a great gift for a favorite teacher or Peet's addicted friend, especially if you crochet one yourself. These friendly bloggers have shared the patterns for their easy coffee cozy designs:

Craftiblog: A mother and daughter share their simple design.

A Girl and Her Blog: Shares her adorable design made with a sewn in handle made from left over yarn, now that's eco-friendly!
