The last couple of nights it has started to cool down, hinting at the change of season that will soon be here. And what better way to warm up on a chilly morning than a nice cup of coffee. Tracie Barrett created this adorable coffee mug amigurumi complete with a smiling face and coffee (or hot chocolate if you prefer) to warm your insides. It’s a super fast project you can whip up in no time!
