Let me show you how to crochet a mug rug. This free mug rug crochet pattern will show you how. It is part of the “Seaside Reflections” table decor crochet patterns. You can choose to use cotton or acrylic yarn, fringe or no fringe. The mug rug is the perfect compliment to the Seaside Reflections Placemat and Table Runner.
I sometimes use affiliate links in my posts. This won’t cost you anything, but will help offset the cost of yarn and other supplies needed, so that I can continue bringing you crochet patterns and craft ideas. Thank you so much for your support.
