Another holiday means another festive mug for the play kitchen. This St-Patrick’s shamrocks crochet mug, designed with clovers and in shades of green, is perfect to accompany all of the day’s shenanigans! I created this one in the tapestry technique, similar to my Christmas mugs (here and here) as well as my Valentine mug. Like these previous crochet patterns, this mug is also beginner-friendly and quick to do.
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.

- Dark green, light green, and brown yarn. I used light (3) acrylic yarn.
- Stuffing material
- Scissors
- Needle
- Stitch marker
Finished size:
Approx. 6.5cm tall by 10.5cm wide (including handle).
Terms and abbreviations (US Terms):
- Chain (ch)
- Single crochet (sc)
- Increase (inc)

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.
-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.
