Basket Weave Mug Cozy

I've done mug cozy in basket weave crochet pattern before and I think I might have to stick to the original.  The one pictured below is done in horizontal.  I started with 34 chains and then follow through the basket weave pattern but I think I like the vertical basket weave better. or maybe if I would have added a row of single crochet border, it would have been suffice to my liking.
