If you're new to the tapestry crochet technique, you are going to fall in love with the simplicity of it!
It might be a little fiddly, as you start your project and get used to switching colours between stitches, but you can do it!
If you prefer to work from a printed pattern or chart, the Bunny Mug Rug pattern can be purchased from your favourite pattern shop using the buttons below. You'll receive the pattern written in both UK and US terms, plus the printable chart to mark off your progress as you stitch.
This pattern is written using 100% cotton, but you can use any yarn to make this pattern. I choose to use cotton as it's a great choice for coasters and mug rugs due to the fibres ability to absorb moisture.
You can opt to use acrylic yarn, but be aware that acrylic repels water, so is not absorbent in the same way. Acrylic does make the pattern easier to stitch up, as the fibres are more stretchy that those in cotton yarn - making acrylic a great choice to learn the technique with. Plus, the fluffier yarn helps to disguise any error with the colour changes.
