I’m back just in time for Valentine’s Day with another festive mug for the play kitchen. I created this one in a fair isle style, similar to my Christmas mugs (here and here), with a pattern of hearts to celebrate the love season. I hope you enjoy this cute Valentine hearts crochet mug and I hope your little ones love playing with it as much as mine does.
In addition to the Christmas mugs, I’ve also created a snowman, a cauldron and a mummy mug if you need mugs for every seasons like we do! As always, if you make any of these, please share your festive mugs and play kitchens with me on Instagram, I would love to see them.

- 3mm hook
- Dark pink, light pink, brown yarn, and white. I used light (3) acrylic yarn.

Finished size:
Approx. 6.5cm tall by 10.5cm wide (including handle).
