Special Notes

• The project is constructed with double crochet stitches, worked between the posts for a chunky, modern look.
• Tassels are added on two sides as classic fringe.
• Make your starting and turning chains loosely for an even edge.

Pattern Instructions

1. Base

1. Make a slip knot.
2. Ch 10 + 1 (total 11).
   • (The extra ch is the turning chain.)
3. Row 1:
   • Dc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across (10 dc).
4. Row 2:
   • Ch 2, turn; dc in each space between the posts from previous row across (10 dc).
5. Rows 3–7:
   • Ch 2, turn; dc in each space between the posts across (10 dc per row).
   • You should have 7 rows total when done.

2. Tassel Fringe

1. Cut yarn strands approx. 6–8″ (15–20 cm) long.
   • You need 20 pieces (10 for each short side).
2. Attaching Tassels:
   • Fold one strand in half.
   • Insert your hook through the edge stitch from front to back.
   • Pull the folded loop through to form a loop.
   • Grab both ends of the yarn and pull them through the loop, tightening to secure.
   • Repeat for each stitch on both ends (10 per short side).
3. Trim fringe evenly.
   • Hold the rug vertically.
   • Use sharp scissors to trim all tassels to the same length.
   • For symmetry, fold the rug in half and trim fringes to match both sides.

Finishing

• Weave in any remaining yarn ends with a tapestry needle.
• Lay flat and steam block if desired.

Conclusion

You have created a super-fast, modern, and functional mug rug with a stylish fringe out of bulky yarn. It’s perfect as a gift or as a set with the matching cup cozy. This pattern is beginner-friendly, works up quickly, and can be customized simply by changing yarn color or length of tassels.

Pattern Correction & Tips

Corrections:

• There are always 10 stitches per row, not counting the turning chain.
• Each double crochet is worked between the posts (not in the top of the stitch).

Tips:

• Use sharp scissors for clean, even fringe.
• To avoid unravelling of fringe, ensure each tassel is securely knotted.
• Adjust the size by increasing or decreasing starting chain and the number of rows.
• This method creates a reversible coaster; no “wrong side.”
