For this pattern, you will need: small amounts of any worsted weight (#4) yarn, crochet hook, scissors, yarn needle.

This Mug Rug (and variations) are a perfect first project for someone new to crochet, and a quick and useful gift (even for yourself). This is no ordinary ‘coaster’ since it is generously sized, to hold your biggest mug and can be made in any colour to match your decor. Make a few, so you will have some standing by when friends come for coffee or tea.
