It’s the holiday season! And I have been loving creating little mugs for Christmas just as much as my little one loves playing with them. Just like my spooky mugs (here and here), I created seasonal mugs that are perfect for the play kitchen. For the festive season, I was inspired by the fair isle style of our Christmas stockings (see here) and created an adorable snowflake and a cute Christmas tree design. The post is dedicated to the Christmas tree mug with my other design available here. I hope you enjoy these patterns and please share your festive mugs and play kitchens with me on Instagram.
Materials:
- 3mm hook
- Green, white, and brown yarn. I used light (3) acrylic yarn.
- Stuffing material
- Scissors
- Needle
- Stitch marker
Finished size:
Approx. 8,5cm tall by 9,5cm wide (including handle).
Terms and abbreviations (US Terms):
