Checked Mug Rugs 

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

Are You looking For a Mother's Day, Father's Day

 or Birthday Gift.

Pick up a Mug or glass and Stitch up a Checked Mug

 Rug to go with it. Or maybe make them a set of

 matching mug rugs. they make great house warming

 gifts, or just gift some for any occasion.

You can never have too many mug rugs, and coasters.

The Checked Mug Rug is a great way to learn the

 color changing technique and make something fun

 and useful. And use up some left over cotton yarn scraps.

Get in Your Cotton yarn stash and see what colors you

 can put together. some some for every season and

 holiday colors, just to have on hand.
