How To Crochet A Farmhouse Mug Rug | Free Crochet Pattern

The Lemon Farmhouse Mug Rug evokes a sense of fun and cozy! They make great gifts for a friend or loved one. Make a few for yourself too. There are two different styles of the Lemon Farmhouse Mug Rugs. I love the mug rug with the blue line the best! These mug rugs are the perfect companion to the other Lemon Farmhouse designs. You can see them all at the 2nd launch of the “Summer Celebration at Krissy’s” event. The First Launch of the Summer Celebration at Krissy’s was exciting! 

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.

Decorate your home with Lemon Farmhouse Designs.

Have fun this summer decorating your table and kitchen with these Farmhouse Lemon Designs. The Lemon Farmhouse Towel Topper is a favorite. Hanging one of these from your oven door, then putting a matching placemat, coaster or mug rug on the table is so much fun! Of course I had to design a basket for you to add to the table decor. I will have a how to video that shows you how to add a stiff fabric covered liner. It’s then perfect to hold rolls or crochet a few of these cute lemons and fill the basket with them.

Special Stitch Guide:

mb = Mini Bean Stitch = insert hook into the stitch indicated, draw up a loop, yo, insert hook into the same st, draw up a loop, yo, draw thru all 4 loops on hook, ch 1 to close the stitch.

The mb stitch is a unique cluster stitch. When the pattern is worked in rows each row of stitches has a right and left tilt. It is easy to use the ch 1 space to execute the cluster, but it will not give you the right, left tilt.
