Materials

• US G (4.00 mm) crochet hook
• Aran/ medium/ size #4 weight yarn
  • approx 4 oz. / 113 yards
  • I used Caron One Pound
• Yarn needle
• Ami stuffing

Gauge

• 4″ = 14 rows x 15 scs

Terms/ stitches

• RS: right side (side that faces out)

• Ch: chain
• St: stitch
• Slip st: slip stitch
• Sc: single crochet

Notes

• This pattern is worked in 4 pieces, the front, the back, and the handle (x2). All the pieces are worked individually and then the front and the back pieces are secured together, and the handle is sewn to the side. All 4 pieces are worked back and forth in rows, with a turn at the beginning/ end of the row.
• There are 2 options below for the front/ back portion – one with the pattern that mimics the lines on a mug and one that’s plain.
• The ch 1 at the beginning of the row does not count as a stitch.
• All of the stitches in this pattern are single crochets. The directions for the body will only tell you what color (ie: Color A, Color B, etc…) and the number in the parentheses tells you how many single crochets to make.
• The instructions that read (2x + a number) or (a number + 2x) mean that you sc twice into the first or last st of the row and work scs in the number of stitches indicated.
• You’ll need to know how to create a slipknot on your hook for this pattern.
• In the example, the color A yarn is carried behind colors B
• Color A is yellow (Caron One Pound in Sunflower), color B is white (Caron One Pound in white), and color C is gray (some misc color).

Finished measurements

• Height: 11.5″ (body)
