This was a pretty fun project I did right after I learned how to knit. I found the pattern for the Sock Monkey Coffee Cozy
on Ravelry.

I modified the second one to be a Razorback for all my fellow fans out there. (Sorry for the crappy picture).
This is a super easy and fun project and a great gift!
