When making swatches it is nice to turn them into something useful. Why not make a mug rug? Watch the video below and see how you can make a little mug rug! You can add tassels or fringes on yours to add a little bohemian style to them!
Isn't this stitch pretty? The texture on this stitches and you can make so many pretty things with this one.
This is a very easy and pretty stitch pattern that you can include in many different projects. On the top of my head, I am thinking pillowcase, hat, blanket, and scarfs.
This would also make a pretty dishcloth, or do like I did, make a little mug rug! Or if you want to work on a bigger project, make a blanket!

if you want to make a mug rug, you can use fingering yarn or just any yarns scraps that you have available at home.
