I love how this mug rug coaster turned out in variegated yarn. Of course, it would look fabulous in a solid too.
To get those little texture bumps, we’ll alternate working treble crochet stitches with single crochets. These treble stitch rows are in between about 4″ of single crochet space for the mug, and 2″ for the spoon area.
These printable coaster labels will work for gifting mug rugs too!

Once complete, the finished size of this mug rug is 8″/20 cm x 4.25″/10.75 cm. This includes the simple single crochet border.
Adjustments
If you would like to make a mug rug that’s wider, just keep an odd number stitches and then add 1 for the starting chain.
You can easily vary the number of rows between the treble bump sections to make them longer or shorter. Just be sure to work the treble stitches on the wrong side so they will pop on the right side.
