Winter Mug Rug: Free Crochet Pattern
Today I am happy to share my new Winter Mug Rug Free Crochet Pattern with you.
This Chunky Mug Rug Free Crochet Pattern uses the blanket stitch. Mug Rugs are such a quick and easy crochet project and they add a bit of practical fun into your home. Mug Rugs are a great way to protect your table surfaces in your home. Make sure you use a washable yarn for your mug rugs.
Hi everyone. I am so excited to share my Chunky Winter Mug Rug free crochet pattern with you. This attractive mug rug is called the Chunky Winter Mug Rug because of the textured stitch and the cozy feel of the super bulky Wool Ease Thick and Quick yarn it is made from. We all need to feel cozy in the winter time. The colour I chose is Kale and it has such a feel of the winter forest with its evergreen trees. It even reminds me of Christmas trees. It uses the blanket crochet stitch and I just love the texture this stitch brings to the project

What is a Mug Rug?
Mug Rugs have recently become a very popular crochet project with makers as they work up so quickly and are so useful. Be careful because they can become addictive as they are su quick and easy to make and are perfect gifts any time of the year.
If you are new to mug rugs and wonder just what they are, they are exactly what the name describes, they are rugs for your mugs. They are a slightly larger than the regular coasters we usually make for our cups. Coasters are meant for your glasses and cups, a mug rug is slightly larger. This one is perfect for your coffee and hot chocolate.
Some Other Kitchen Projects You Can Make for Yourself.
If you enjoy making mug rugs and something useful for your home, I have a pattern for a lovely Super Simple Dish Cloth. This can also double as a spa face cloth. Something else you can make for your kitchen is my Practically Perfect Potholder. These fun patterns are great as they are a nice sized project that you can pick up and make quite quickly and they don’t need much yarn.

For those new to crochet, I have video tutorials on my Carroway Crochet YouTube Channel that will demonstrate how to crochet the single and double crochet stitches as well as other beginner crochet stitches. I have both left and right handed version available to help beginner crocheters.

It is beginner friendly as you only need to know how to do the single crochet and the double crochet stitch to make this mug rug.

Special Stitch for this Pattern.
The Blanket Stitch.
Here are the written instructions for how to do the Blanket Stitch. This stitch uses multiples of 3.
Ch 12 for a sample swatch.
Row 1: DC into the third chain from the hook, make another DC into the same ch, skip two chains and into the next ch make a SC and 2DC, *Skip two chains and make a SC and 2DC into the next ch*. Repeat from * to * across to the last 3 chs, sk2 ch and do one SC and turn.
Row 2: Ch1, Make 2 DC into the base of the ch1 you just made. Skip over the 2DC st from the previous row, “SC, 2 DC” into the SC. You’ll always be looking for the SC to do your “SC, 2 DC” into. Repeat the pattern across ending the last stitch with one single crochet. (When you get to the end, you’ll have two stitches left, just skip one and SC into the last stitch). Turn work.
