If your mug
is a different diameter, you can easily make it smaller or larger by added or
deleting rounds when making the bottom. If your mug is shorter or taller just
adjust the number of rows that you make, fitting the cozy around the mug every
so often as you work.
Alternatively, you can also change the location of the
button to the middle and you would then just do a complete joining round
instead of turning your work when you get to the top.
Have a happy crafty weekend!
