Hello Yellow Yarn just shared the sweetest free crochet seed stitch mug rug pattern! Turn simple cotton yarn into the ultimate cozy DIY coaster for your favorite mug in no time! Sized at about 5×3.5 inches (not counting the fun fringe edges), it is just right for keeping your tabletops safe from hot mugs and condensation.
The pattern uses the seed stitch, which simply alternates single crochet and double crochet stitches. It creates a dense, rustic texture with zero fussy counting. While the piece looks great in bright pops of color, light neutrals really highlight that textured, woven look. Because it needs so little Aran/worsted weight cotton yarn, it is the ultimate stash-busting project for your leftover scraps. Finish off the shorter ends with quick fringe for that classic mini-carpet look. Grab a small ball of cotton yarn, follow along with the video, and hook up a stack of these sweet DIY mug rugs for your desk or as lovely little handmade gifts!
