7 Cable Mug Cozy

This is the first pattern I've ever tried writing out. For the Defense Against the Dark Arts Class in my Hogwarts at Ravelry group, we were challenged to make various bevarage cozies. There are lots of beautiful cabled options out there for knitters but I didn't find any for crocheters. So here's my contribution - I hope it makes sense! Please send me a note if you need any clarification in the instructions. Thanks!
