Tutorial- Mug Warmer Crochet
Oct 8, 2010 by Violet
A while ago you might remember that I was given some *awesome* handmade yarn from the lovely Vintage Grrl and I made it into fingerless gloves. Well I still had half a ball left over from that so I needed to think of a little project that would be cute but not require much yarn… and so a mug warmer was born ^_^
| I started with a chain which was long enough to go around the the mug.
I then started a pattern of 3xDC in the third chain, SC, repeat until the end. This made cute little scallops:
At the end of the row I chained a couple and repeated the pattern of 3DC into the tops of each scallop.
This was after the second row:
I pretty much just kept on with this until it was long enough to cover my mug.
Close up you can see the pattern a little better…
I finished off by adding scallops to the bottom side as well ^_^
I folded the edges in and stitched them together at the top and bottom corners.
This way the whole thing just slips over the mug while leaving space for the handle. Super easy quick craft to do while watching a movie
That said now that I have my awesome warming mug of doom I don’t really need it anymore hahaha XD Very fun to make anyway, I’ll have to find another use for it! Maybe I’ll make it into a big scallopy hair bow :D |
It looks nice! But I won’t do this because once I knit, I can’t stop and I will forget about everything that I need to do! My mom has the same problem too.

Thank you! You should give it a try :D
oh this is so wonderful and very useful too, my mom loves hot coffee, i just wish I can crochet or knit :<
Oh you should learn to knit or crochet, it’s much easier than it looks ^_^
Darling! They look like little roses!!! just a thought maybe attach or weave in some green yarn?
the pink of the yarn and the blue of the mug look amazing together. HUG
Oh they do look a bit like roses :D I’ll have to see if I have any green yarn left!
So cute~! One of these days I’ll learn to crochet… it’s on my to-do list and a friend of a friend is supposed to teach me within the next few weeks. So maybe once winter rolls around I’ll be good enough to make one of these babies!

Oh you’re so lucky to be coming into Autumn right now, we’re just coming out of Winter and I don’t want it to leave yet!You should definitely try out crochet, it’s really relaxing :D
That’s cool!
I was just now taking a look trough your Reader’s Gallery and I must say it inspired me to do many of your tutorials. I had kind of forgotten about them even though I was meaning to do them a while ago. But now I got new inspiration and I’m ready to go, hihi.
Keep up your good work! :D

Thank you!
cute! Likewise I have no use for mugwarmers but when winter comes around again in freezing Melbs, I’ll remember this pattern!
Haha I’ll have to bust out the tutorial in 6 months to remind us all!
Hi Violet! I love your tutorials & I wanted to ask if perhaps you could do a tutorial on how to make a cute ipod cozy out of felt or something similar? :) Just not knitting because I don’t know how to knit. xD
Thanks! :D
Hey Lily! No problems, I will add it to my list of things to do :D
