Mugs of hot cocoa

7:37pm on the 29th of January, 2008


Three hot little treats, one for each of The Team. :cheery:
Made with various wool yarns, mostly Peace Fleece.

One more pattern today! These darling little mugs of hot goodness were created to be the exact scale of my cookies. Make a quick, easy, & fun gift set for kids!

This is an advanced beginner pattern.

You’ll need:
Worsted weight yarn (cotton, acrylic, wool is my personal preference) in colors for the mug(s) & small amounts of scrap yarn for the cocoa/tea/coffee as well as scraps of white or undyed yarn for the marshmallows, if desired
Hook size G
Stuffing (wool roving or polyfill)
Darning needle

NOTE- Do NOT join rounds!

Making the mug-
Round 1: With mug color, 8 sc into a magic ring (8 sc).
Round 2: 2 sc in ea st around (16 sc).
Round 3: sc in 1st st, 2 sc in next st (sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) around (24 sc).
Round 4: sc in the first two sc, 2 sc in next st, (sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st) around (32 sc).
Round 5: sc in each st around (32 sc).
Round 6: sc in the BACK LOOPS ONLY of each st around (32 sc).
Round 7 through 11: sc in each st around (32 sc).
Round 12: sl st in each st around (32 sc).
Finish off & weave in ends.

The handle-
Leave a tail & chain 12. Sc in 2nd chain from the hook & completely across. Ch 1, turn, & sc across. Finish off.

Making the cocoa/tea/coffee-
Round 1: With cocoa/tea/coffee color, 8 sc in a magic ring (8 sc).
Round 2: 2 sc in ea st around (16 sc).
Round 3: sc in 1st st, 2 sc in next st (sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) around (24 sc).
Round 4: sc in the first two sc, 2 sc in next st, (sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st) around (32 sc).
Finish off leaving a long tail (about 9 inches or so) to sew to top of mug.

Finishing-
Attach handle to mug at rounds 7 & 11.
Stuff mug somewhat firmly. Lay cocoa/tea/coffee over the top of the mug & sew them both together. You could also take your hook to fasten the pieces together. To make marshmallows, simply take some undyed or white yarn & embroider 3 ‘mallows to the top of the cocoa with 6 to 9 small horizontal stitches.

(You may not make these for profit without a license, only for non-profit charities or personal use/gifting.)

Next in crafting- how to make felt heart-shaped cookies!
