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.

Moss Stitch Mug Rug
This cute mug rug uses the ever-popular moss stitch to create a unique, quirky, and easy mug rug. These make great gifts, and they work up quickly. I used a size H hook and Bernat Handicrafter cotton or Lily Sugar and Cream cotton yarn (any worsted weight cotton yarn will do). They work up quickly for last minute gifts, and there is a free YouTube video to show you how to do the project step by step, including the fringe!
Halfway Slippy Mug Rug
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.
Simple Spa Slippers
The Simple Spa Slippers are cozy and oh so easy to crochet! They are soft, squishy, and a free crochet pattern on Moogly in 3 sizes! The stitches used to make the Simple Spa Stitches are super easy - it's all single crochet! The only “tricky” bit is the sc2tog decrease, which is the first decrease you likely learned. To keep this pattern as simple as can be, I've made both right and left feet the same. So there is minimal shaping - and you don't have to think about which one goes on which foot. Slippers like this are also great for those with flat and wide feet, like me - for once, my feet don't overhang the soles!
