Another holiday means another festive mug for the play kitchen. With shamrocks and shades of green, this one is perfect to accompany all the St-Patrick’s day shenanigans! I created this one in a fair isle style, similar to my Christmas mugs (here and here) as well as my Valentine mug. I’m having so much fun creating these for every holiday and I hope you and your little ones love playing with them as much as 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. Keep reading to follow the pattern for this cute St-Patrick’s shamrocks crochet mug.
