Pattern Notes:
-This pattern is worked in continuous rounds. There is no need to join with a slip stitch at the end of each round.
-When changing colour, be sure to switch mid stitch. To do so, insert your hook with Colour A in the stitch before the colour change, yarn over pulling two loops of colour A, then switch colour and yarn over with Colour B. See tutorial here.
-When working with two colours, be careful that your tension is not too tight, especially when changing colours after several stitches. If you find that your mug has a strange shape, you may want to carry your yarn. See tutorial here.
