Hi! Crafters!
Since, I just did a blog about making a coffee mug cozy for
Breast Cancer Awareness I thought an individual might not want one for that
great cause; so, here is some different choice(s). You see at the end about the
thought I had.
Again FYI: I am not a
writer or technical writer; just an individual who love to crochet.
I never fully did my own directions please let me know if
there is a question or if you do not understand what I mean or anything at sandi_tipple@yahoo.com. I will do my best answering you questions.
My Groot Coffee/Tea
Mug
Materials:
Brown yarn
H Hook
Tapestry needle
3 large buttons for mug
White thread and needle
2 Stitch markers
Material
for face:
Tapestry needle
Black yarn
2 large buttons (looks like eyes)
Black thread and needle
Abbreviations:
SC, single crochet, DC double crochet, ST stitch, CH. Chain
stitch, SL ST Slip stitch.
NOTE: I have
discovered you may have to use less than 36 or more depending on the size cup
you choose to use.
Row 1: CH 36.
Row 2: SC in 2nd
CH from Hook, SC across, turn. (35)
Row 3: CH 1, SC
across, turn (35)
Row 4 – 9: Repeat Row
#3.
Row 10: 5 SL ST, to
make the first branch CH 3, in the 2nd ST of the CH SC, in the next
CH SC, in the first space SL ST. SL ST in the next 2 SC, second branch CH 5, in
the 2nd ST of the CH SC, SL ST in the next stitch, CH 3, in the 2nd
stitch of the CH SC, in the next CH, SL ST then SL ST down the branch in the
starting SC, SL ST, SL ST 19 times, to make the branch on the opposite side , in
the SC CH 5, in the 2nd ST of CH SC, SC in the next CH, CH 4, in the 2nd
CH from the end SC, SC in the next in the last CH SL ST, the SL ST to the
beginning of the branch, last branch SL ST CH 4, in the 2nd ST of
the CH, SC in the next SC, CH 3, in the 2ns CH ST SC, in the next CH SL ST in
the CH, then SL ST down the branch SL ST
to the end.
Loops for
buttons:
With brown yarn and H hook for button area
Loop one: At the end of row 10:
With SL ST on end CH 12 SL ST in the Stitch at the beginning
to make loop one.
Loop two: In middle approximately the end of row 5:
With SL ST on end CH 12 SL ST in the Stitch at the beginning
to make loop two.
Loop
Three: At the end of row 1:
With SL ST on end CH 12 SL ST in the Stitch at the beginning
to make loop three.
Sew on three large black buttons on the side without the loops.
Groot’s
Face:
Fold the mug in half to mark with the stich markers the area
for the eyes.
Sew the two buttons for the eyes.
With 12 inch piece of black yarn and tapestry needle; make a
knot in the yarn. Making the smile you
will start just below the right side eye going to the left side of the other
eye as shown in the picture.
I am think you could also make a Reindeer and a snowman with
the same pattern but you could just make Two antler instead of the branches by
making them long and the short branch on the long one longer, Attach a medium red
pom-pom for the nose and/or two medium black pom-poms for eyes instead of the
buttons.
Snowman: Use two medium black pom-poms for eyes.
Orange yarn and attach and
make CH 3 and SC in 2nd CH and next CH, SL ST and end off for carrot
nose. Make a smile with black yarn like
the Groot's smile. You might want to glue 3 more pom-poms to make the coal buttons?
Just a thought! I will have to check this out at another time;
since, I am working on some angles and have two quilts to do and a birthday present
to crochet.
