These adorable mug rugs are a great addition to any room and protect surfaces from nasty water stains. The dense, flexible fabric of the linen stitch is absorbent without being too thick. The linen stitch pattern, a repetition of single crochets and chain-1 spaces, is a simple stitch pattern that works up quickly and is easy to remember, great for those evenings of binge-watching your favorite show! Make a matching set or whip up some in different colors and throw them around the house. A great project for using up scraps. They also make wonderful house-warming gifts and stocking stuffers.

The pattern includes instructions to make the mug rugs in either dk weight or worsted weight, depending upon what you have in your yarn stash.

The smaller hook is used to work the foundation chain. The larger hook is used to work everything else.
