Looking for a fun and fast knit? Look no further than this cute and classic mug rug. I created this mug rug pattern to be the perfect holiday knit. Yes, I said it, the holiday season is coming fast! Get started early and create these fun rugs for gifts.
I'm excited to make a few different sets using all the colors from Knit Picks. You can knit this with any type of Bully yarn, I used Knit Picks Billow which is SUPER luxurious. You can purchase the yarn here.
I've been wanting to design more practical items for the house, and a mug rug was on my list. This is a project that knits up VERY quickly and uses little yarn.
Materials
- 100 grams of Bulky weight yarn
-Stitch Marker
