A crochet mug cosy suitable for beginners. You will need a basic understanding of crochet stitches such as chaining and double crochet.

What you will need-

• Wool
• Mug
• Crochet

Step 2-  Chain 3 more stitches (This counts as your first double crochet)

Step 3- Double Crochet into the ring

Step 4- Double crochet into the ring again. This set of stitches is the first “Shell” of the granny square, a shell consists of three double crochets together in the same space.

The first round will consists of four shells you will need to chain 2 stitches between each shell in the first round

Step 5- Chain 2 and make another ring (shell No.2)

Step 6- Chain again and make another shell by doing 3 double crochet into the same ring (shell No.3)

Step 7- Chain 2 again and make another shell, you will now have 4 shells and can now join them together with a slip stitch.

Step 8- This concludes the first round all subsequent rounds are a repeat of the round, the only difference is the number of shells and the amount of chain in-between shells.

Chain 2 in a corner and chain 1 in-between each shell
