Cup Mats

Today I designed and made these cup mats. Not sure if I can call them mug rugs so I'll go with Cup Mats. I wanted to make some but I couldn't find a pattern so I took the leap to design my own. Some one once told me that "necessity is the mother of invention". I believe this is true, if you want something and can't find it you will figure out how to make it on your own. It;s so easy I have shared how I made them below.

Cup Mat Pattern

Materials:

1 skein ww cotton yarn

G hook

yarn needle

No gauge, size can vary.

Row 1: Ch 17, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. Ch 1, turn.

Row 2-14: Sc in each sc across, ch 1, turn.

After row 14, finish off. Weave in ends.

Make fringe. I wrapped the yarn around a cd case, took it off and cut the strands in half at each end. You will need enough strands to put a fringe at both ends of each row, for each mat you make. I thought the fringe was too long so after I had finished all of the mats I cut the fringe down to about 1 1/2" You can make it what ever size you like.

Fold each strand in half and loop through the end of a row and pull the ends through the loop and tighten. Do this for both ends of each row.
