The halfway slippy mug rug uses half double crochet and slip stitch to create a subtly textured design. Mug rugs can be a fun alternative to standard coasters, especially in the summer! This pattern is free online at my website, and it includes a video tutorial to walk you through the pattern. It is also available as a PDF purchase, which includes this design and two other mug rug designs (each of which are also available online for free with video tutorials).

Rustic Mug Rugs
This is a two pattern set: Buffalo Plaid and Bear Skin Rug. There are also instructions to turn the Buffalo Plaid square into the solid green version. I love all things rustic in the winter and for Christmas decor, so I couldn't resist making this Rustic Mug Rug set. The pattern also includes instructions for adding a grip liner to the bottom, so they aren't slippery and will stay put on your tables without making them lumpy and unstable.
Tea Spa Crochet Mug Rug
Looking for a quick crochet project? This Crochet Mug Rug is a super easy and quick make. Small crochet projects like these mug rugs make perfect last minute gifts! It uses very little yarn and you can use up your leftover yarn from previous projects. I used cotton yarn, worsted medium weight (4). But you can use any type and thickness of yarn you like. All you need for this project is some yarn in two contrasting colours, crochet hook and scissors.
