Reindeer Mug Warmer Crochet Pattern

Maybe not a very functional present, but isn´t it cute? ;)

Basic pattern mug warmer:

Using my Boshi yarn and a 7 mm hook
4 Buttons

I won´t count here, as you´ll have to adjust it to your cup (don´t worry, it won´t be hard)

Chain around your cup, add ch3
R1: dc in 4th st from hook, dc in each st., turn
R2: Ch3, dc in each st, turn

Repeat R2 until desired height, cut yarn, sew in ends

Create 2 pieces: Ch 5, Add Ch 4, tc in 5th from hook, tc each, cut yarn sew in ends.
Apply buttons and use 2 pieces to hold mug warmer together.
