As promised, I’m sharing my FREE Merry Little Mug Rug pattern, in collaboration with Hobbii, for the #HaveYourselfAMerryLittleDIY Challenge. This is a SUPER simple pattern, and you cam make a bunch of them from a small amount of yarn. I used a sparkle cotton – and it turned out to be the perfect yarn for this merry little project!
Everything you need to create your own Merry Little Mug Rugs is listed below – enjoy!

Leave tail for sewing and cut yarn.
Tassels – Wrap the yarn around something 2-3” long, wrap it 4 times total. Don’t wrap too tight or it will be hard to remove the wrapped yarn. Cut the yarn .
Insert your hook back-to-front into the ch1 corner space, put the tassel yarn on your hook (through the center of the 4 loops) and put them through the ch1 sp, remove your hook and pull the other end of the tassel yarn through the loop. Pull tightly. Trim to a length you like.
Make 3 more for the other corners, trimming them to match the by folding your coaster in half and measuring the new tassel to a finished tassel when cutting.
