How to Crochet a Circle in A Square Mug Rug Coaster.

Things have been really happening with Carroway Crochet and I am so happy to be back to my blog sharing a video I created for my new Carroway Crochet YouTube channel. 

The Circle in A Square Mug Rug/Coaster

I just love colour and having something small to make is sometimes a good thing, something that you can make quickly and get the pleasure of seeing a finished item right away. 

SO I had all these lovely colours in bulky yarn and I thought this would be a fun idea.

 I just love the colour pops and must admit I got a bit addicted to making them. I have taken some to the market and they are proving very popular.

 Here I have them with this beautiful mug I got when I was visiting my daughter when she spent a year living in Dublin in Ireland. The colours go perfectly.

These are so bright and modern and perfect for gifts and home decor.

There is a free PDF pattern download available in my crochet group on facebook. Just join Carroway Crochet Group and you can grab the free PDF pattern and also be part of a growing community of crochet lovers. 

I used super bulky weight yarn (6) and a K hook, 6.5mm to make these mug rugs.

 Here is what you need.

Yarn: One skein of super bulky weight (6) yarn in white and one skein in the contrast colour of your choice.  This is a great stash buster.

Hook:: US K 10.5/6.5mm

Notions: Scissors , tapestry needle.

Abbreviations (uses US conventions)

·       Ch = chain

·       st = stitch

·       sl st=slip stitch

·       sc = Single crochet

·       hdc =Half double crochet

·       dc= Double crochet

 

Instructions:

Start with the bright colour of your choice.

Ch 4 join to make a loop,

Round 1: Ch 3, this is the first dc, dc 11 times into the centre of the loop

You end up with 12 stitches

 

Round 2: Ch 3 and dc into the same stitch space as ch 3, 2 dc into next stitch and every stitch around (24 stitches)

Cut off yarn and finish off.

                   Join the white to any stitch.                  

 

Round 3: Ch3 and dc into the same stitch.

Then  * dc in next st, hdc into the next st, sc into next stitch, hdc into next stitch, dc into next st, 2dc into next stitch, ch 1, 2dc into same st, (this forms the corner) *, repeat between * and *2 times, then dc into next st, hdc into the next st, sc the next stitch, hdc into next stitch, dc into next st, 2dc into next stitch, ch 1 and join with a sl st to the top of the ch 3.

You now have your completed Mug Rug.

Make as many colours as you like.

So here we have the video tutorial. I hope you enjoy it and subscribe to my channel.
