Turtle Mug Rug

Free crochet pattern and video viewable at: https://www.sweetsofties.com/2024/11/turtle-mug-rug.html

The Turtle Mug Rug is a cute cup coaster that works up quickly! It can be made with no-sew techniques, or with simple sewing if you don’t feel comfortable doing no-sew. This sea turtle has a circle coaster “shell” and two curved front flippers, with two round back flippers and a pointy little tail. It’s both a functional desk buddy and cute office decor to make your workspace more cozy! Crochet it as a last-minute gift for turtle lovers, or as a fast craft fair product for Spring and Summer markets. This pattern is designed with faux fur yarn (Feels Like Bliss from Lion Brand Yarns) for a soft and furry stuffed animal. Blanket yarn or chenille velvet yarn can also be used for a plush look.
