Holiday Crochet Mug Rug Free Pattern

What better way to enjoy the holidays than with pretty home decor that doubles as a mug rug? Holiday Crochet Mug Rug also walks you through the different types of colorwork with video instruction. See the differences between intarsia, tapestry, or fair isle crochet colorwork.

And how adorable is little hamster Marlow? I think he is also ready for all the seasonal holiday decorations. These coasters work great for hot cocoa or any other warm drink. Also featured in the image above is the cozy Macchiato Sweater.

I hope you enjoy this festive and quick Holiday Crochet Mug Rug Pattern. Please consider pinning on Pinterest, favoriting or Ravelry, or sharing with your friends. It really helps my small business grow.

Holiday Crochet Mug Rug Notes:

• This pattern is worked from the bottom up in rows.
• After the end of each row turn and ch 1. The ch 1 does not count as a stitch.
• Since there are a wrong side and a right side to the mug rugs, I used a combination of intarsia and carrying yarn across the back for the colorwork. Experiment and see what works best for you.
• Please visit https://brianakdesigns.com/ways-to-colorwork-in-crochet/ for a full tutorial on colorwork in Intarsia, Fair Isle, and Tapestry. As well as a FREE Sheep Yarn Bobbin Printable to assist you with this project. No one loves tangles.
