It is a total of 6 pages including the front and back cover pages. Materials *5.00 mm Crochet Hook *Weight 4 Cotton Yarn *Yarn Needle *Scissors Yarn Choice For all of my mug rug patterns I use cotton yarn. Using cotton yarn makes the mug rug super functional because it tends to soak up moisture better than an acrylic yarn. Cotton yarn also gives beautiful definition to the mug rugs and enhances the texture and details. I’m really not a brand snob when it comes to cotton yarn. I usually use Lily Sugar n’ Cream 100% Cotton, but any cotton yarn would work just fine. If you would like to use the yarn I used click here! *KNITCRATE: Get 1 free crate (you pay shipping) and 1 item in the shop for 20% off when you use my code LOVEANDSTITCH at checkout at knitcrate.com. Stitch Key (US Terms) Ch = Chain St/sts = Stitch(es) Sc = Single Crochet Hdc = Half Double Crochet Sl st = Slip Stitch Working in the 3rd loop: Please refer to the attached video here!

(17) Row 15 – Row 18: Repeat Row 2 Row 19: sc in each st across. Fasten off and weave in your ends. Attaching the Fringe To create the fringe, cut 6 inch pieces of yarn in the color used for the mug rug. You will need 3 strands of yarn to complete 1 fringe. To attach the fringe, take 3 strands of yarn. Use your crochet hook and push the hook through the far left foundation ch or sc st on either side of the mug rug. Fold the 3 strands of yarn in half and loop the middle of the strands onto the crochet hook and pull the loop of strands through the st about 2 inches. Fold the ends of the strands through the loop. Tighten to create the fringe. Repeat for every other foundation chain (or single crochet) on both sides of the mug rug. To finish off the mug rug, trim the fringe so it measures roughly an inch to an inch and a half (depending on your preference of length). ENJOY! Can’t get enough of mug rugs?

I am having so much fun with The Splendid Sampler blocks this week and I've just gotta share them with you ....... Block 24 – ‘’Inspector Sidekick’ is a traditional patchwork block designed by Michele Foster. I spun the corner blocks to tie in with the blue polka dots but it would've looked good had I left it. The Splendid Sampler Block 24 - Inspector Sidekick Block 25 – ‘Sunday Best’ is a delightful little applique block from the ever popular Anne Sutton. This block was particularly fun – with little touches added with embroidery (buttons, pocket, flower stem). The Splendid Sampler Block 25 - Sunday Best Block 26 – ‘Dreaming of Dresdens’ by none other than one of The Splendid Sampler organisers, Jane Davidson. The Dresden plate went together well but those little stems and dots were quite fiddly. The Splendid Sampler Block 26 - Dreaming of Dresdens Block 27 – ‘Sewing Machine’ by The Splendid Sampler’s other organiser Pat Sloan. The Splendid Sampler Block 27 - Sewing Machine This block reminded me of my Sewing Machine mug rug and was the inspiration for my first buy-one-get-one-free offer but hurry it ends on 31 May 2016. Get this Patchsmith Pattern free with any purchase until 31 May 2016 Block 28 – ‘Stitching Fashion’. I was very, very excited when I saw that Charise Randell was one of the block designers. I wasn't disappointed and I was thrilled to make Charise's paper-pieced block pattern. The Splendid Sampler Block 28 - Stitching Fashion So much so that I made another dress in different fabrics. The Splendid Sampler Block 28 - Dressmaking And finally, today’s block - block 29 – ‘Scrappy Happy Heart’ – another, albeit simpler, paper-pieced pattern from Christa Watson. I made this block totally from pink and red scraps. The Splendid Sampler Block 29 - Scrappy Happy Heart Tomorrow I shall make another using my blue and turquoise scraps but more about that next week. Until then ................
assorted mug rugs Wrap a 6" square sturdy canvas art board with cotton rug warp or other weaving yarn. 32 wraps starting half an inch in from one side and finishing half an inch from the other side. Tape the ends. Make marks on the board on all sides for convenience. front of the board back of the board. Slide a wooden skewer under the warp on the side you are going to weave first. Use a tapestry needle to lift the warps so you can easily slide it under. Make 4 passes of the tabby weave (standard over-under weave) using the same cotton warp yarn. Be sure to bubble the tabby passes. This is to keep the sides from pulling in when you beat the yarn. make a wide curve this is bubbling to insure an even beat After the first 4 tabby passes, alternate tabby with the fabric passes. Fabric strips should be about 1" wide, give or take. Do not bubble the fabric passes or there will be too much material bunched up. start of first fabric pass Note: I turn the board this way and that as I work on it, whatever is comfortable. The mug rug builds from one end toward the other. first pass of the fabric weft You can fold the fabric in half as it goes in so the right side appears on the front and back of the mug rug. Or you can let it bunch up or twist, as you like. I do all of that for variety. tuck the tag end of the fabric into the first pass Pinch or hold down the starting edge of the weft passes to keep the thread or fabric from being pulled in. Eyeball or measure as you go. The width of the mug rug is approx. 4.5", but it should stay the same. pinch or hold down the start of the weft passes Beat carefully until you can put a hem stitch in place. Once you have woven three fabric and tabby passes you can hem stitch the top of the mug rug. This will allow you to beat as hard as you want. hem stitch every four warp threads finish each bundle of threads with a slip knot Beat the weft harder now. You can move threads up with the tip of the tapestry needle. Don't get carried away. You'll find your happy beat with practice. hem stitch Laying in a new fabric weft. leave a tail overlap new fabric weft over old one Do the same thing with the tabby weft. overlay tabby and bubble as usual Weavy-weave. Ignore tail ends. They can be tucked in when you are done. Depending on your yarn size and fabric width, you will make 16 to 18 fabric passes. It's easy to count the fabric loops. tuck in the end of the fabric on the last pass weave four more shots of tabby hem stitch first mug rug done Now flip the board over to weave the second mug rug. slip the skewer under the warp threads weave away When you finish, use an exacto to slice the mug rugs apart at the top. slice along the top of the board Then cut the loops apart at the bottom. cut the loops You now have two mug rugs. Wet the mug rugs in the sink and press them dry. Do not wring or they'll get misshapen. Leave them to dry on a towel. Tuck any stray threads.
