I've got a pattern for a handle-less mug, but I really like this one I found tonight of a handle mug. This is the original pattern I used. Very cute site, check it out.
I tend to use the pattern, then take it out and modify it. The way this is written works very well. I changed it for the yarn I was using and because I wanted a more bulky feel but tighter fitting. Also, I don't have any cute buttons and I'm impatient so I had to make it without them :)
I love this shell stitch. Its simple and much more interesting to look at than sc,sc,sc,sc,sc ugh.
Here is my pattern taken from the site and modified...
Let me know if I can help you with any questions at all! :)
Materials:
Worsted weight yarn, preferably something easily washable
Size J hook
Stitches used:
Ch- chain
SlSt- slip stitch
SC- single crochet
DC- double crochet
Instructions:
Row 1- Ch 4, and SlSt into beginning chain to create a loop. Ch 2, (counts as a DC), and then make 11 DC in the loop, join to the top of the CH 2. (12)
Row 2- Ch 2, make a DC in same stitch as the CH 2 just made, then make 2 DC in each stitch around, join to top of chain 2. (24)
Row 4- Ch 1, make 1 SC in front loops only in each stitch all the way around, join. (24)
Row 5- Ch 1, (make 1 SC and 1 DC both in the same next stitch, skip next stitch), repeat parenthesis all the way around until 3 stitches are left unworked. 1 SC in the next stitch. Chain 1 and turn
Row 6- Make 1 SC, and 1 DC in the stitch above the DC from the previous row. Repeat all the way around until 1 stitch is left undone. Make 1 SC in that last stitch. Chain 1, TURN. Repeat row 6 until the mug cozy is the desired height of your cup (about 5 for a normal size mug)
Row 7- Sc around top to beginning. Sl 4 and join to opposite side. Sc around the opening to complete. Sl and tie off. (please note that I did a ch8 in the gray one above. this is when I realized 4 would be more appropriate.)
