How to crochet a sweet floral mug rug. Sit your coffee/tea on it with a sweet treat on the other flower, or use it as a doily. At only 12 yards per flower, and 2 1/2 yards per half leaf, this is an excellent scrap project!

Video tutorial included.

This floral motif has been one of absolute favorite little things! I have used to create so many fun free crochet patterns:

• Delilah Triangle Shawl
• Delilah Coasters
• Delilah Wall Hanging
• Delilah Table Runner
• Delilah Gift Card Holder
• Delilah Rectangle Doily
• Delilah Coin Purse
• Delilah Hoop Earrings

Materials:

• 31 (1 Round of Border) - 35 (2 Rounds of Border) Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn Total - I used WeCrochet Dishie in Bumblebee for the flower centers, in White, Azure and Mulberry for the petals, and in Honeydew for the Leaves
• H8/5mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle
• Optional, Jewelry Pliers

Material Notes:
Cotton Yarn Alternatives: Lily Sugar n Cream Cotton, Bernat Handicrafter, Lion Brand Re-Up

Each flower requires almost 12 yards of yarn (6 yards for the center of the flower, and 6 yards for the petals), the half leaves are about 2 1/2 yards each, and the rest is for the border. This project is excellent for scraps of yarn - flowers and greenery come in all different shades.

As a mug rug, I prefer cotton yarn. As a doily, acrylic works (though I would probably still use the cotton). Cotton yarn is more durable, and absorbent.

Gauge is not essential for this project so you can easily substitute another weight yarn that might be in your stash, but it will change the overall size of the mug rug.

Jewelry pliers are an excellent tool to use to help weave in ends, as cotton yarn can be tough on the fingers when weaving in with just fingers and a tapestry needle.

Just under 1 Hour - Just over 1 Hour (depending on if you do 1 Round or 2 for Border)
