Crocheting a Cup and Saucer - A cup of coffee, tea, or a delicious mug of hot chocolate. What will you make with this Crochet Pattern for a cup and saucer? The design is perfect as a cozy Pin Cushion for your craft room, but it also makes a fun addition to the kids’ play set! Read on and get started!
This cuddly coffee cup is multifunctional! It’s super soft, won’t break if you drop it, and thanks to the built-in tape measure, you can use it—in addition to Pin Cushions—as a measuring tape. We chose a genuine Yarnplaza coffee cup, with a brown interior and a pink exterior. But how fun would it be to create your own design from scratch? Are you going to crochet this cup and saucer?
