I work at Dunkin Donuts. Yesterday, a woman came in with a quart mason canning jar and she had turned it into a travel mug. She drilled a hole in the center of the 2 piece cap and put a rubber grommet in it that was big enough for a straw to fit down in. Neat idea. I want to make some for gifts. Any thought on what to use for yarn to crochet a coozie with to fit over the jar? It could also be used for hot drinks (she bought an iced coffee) if a coozie could be made for it.

I got thinking about it...I think instead of crocheting the coozie make it out of cloth and fiber fill. It would be machine washable then, not melt like yarn fibers and I could put an elastic in the top to help hold it on the jar.

Thanks for the site. I will have to book mark this for later. Now to figure the coozie part to insulate them to keep drinks hot or cold.

Okay... that is the coolest thing I've seen yet! I have to make a few! Thank you for sharing!
BTW - I worked at Mister Donuts for years during college... I think that's what made my husband fall in love with me! LOL!

Awesome idea...cann't wait to make some of them as well.
You could buy the fancy lids overs to be colorful too.
thanks for sharing...

Ok...made 5 of them
My siblings loved them made cammo coozies to go over them. Used polyfill batting and muslin for inner liner. I measured 15 in. Around for the quart jar and 6 in
for the length. The bottom should be 4 in. In diameter finished.
