An ordinary mug can be decorated with a knitted warmer. Such decoration will even bring benefits. A knitted heating pad will warm your hands holding a hot mug and also protect your hands from overheating.
To make a heating pad you will need the following materials:
1. Dark blue threads (base of the heating pad).
2.White threads (edging and decoration).
3.Yellow threads (Snowman’s nose).
4. Two-color threads (forelock and ties).
5.Sewing threads in white and black.
6.Hooks 1 and 2.5 mm thick.
7. Scissors.
The process of making a warmer for a mug.
1.First of all, you need to take measurements of the mug. I propose to knit a heating pad measuring 25.5 cm * 9 cm. Using a 2.5 cm crochet hook, you need to pick up a chain. It will consist of air loops (AP) 25.5 cm long.
2. Let's get started knitting from a set of double crochets (Dc) along the entire length of the chain.
3. We knit the fabric in this way until the desired height is obtained.
4. The heating pad should not go beyond the handle of the mug.
5. In order for the heating pad to have a beautiful outline, you need to tie the edge with white thread. To do this, tie a thread in the corner of the main blue fabric.
6. We tie the outline of the heating pad with single crochets (SC).We cut the thread and fasten it.
7.The base of the heating pad is ready. Let's start making the decoration. The main element is the Snowman. It will consist of two circles. We begin to knit a large circle. To do this, we collect 4 VPs on a 1 mm thick hook.
8.Using a connecting loop (SP), you need to connect the chain from the VP into a ring.
9.Then we dial 3 VP.
10. We make a set of 21 CCHs in a circle. We connect the last column to the beginning of the row.
11. We collect a chain consisting of 3 VPs.
12.Then we make a dc, catching it under the same loop from which the VP of this row was collected.
13.Next you need to dial 2 Dcs from each VP of the previous row. At the end we connect the row.
14. We tie the last row of the large circle using RLS.
15. We knit the second circle in a smaller size. The knitting technique is similar to large circle knitting.
16.Sew the circles to the heating pad.
17.Use black threads to make the Snowman’s eyes and mouth. We knit the nose with a yellow thread. We make a forelock for the Snowman using two-color threads. We knit snowflakes around the Snowman.
18.We get a beautiful winter composition.
19. In order for the heating pad to be attached to the mug, it is necessary to make ties. To do this, take 4 threads of the same size.
20.Fold the thread in half and pull the loop into the corner of the heating pad on the wrong side.
21.2 free ends are pulled into the loop.
22.Tighten the loop.
23. We make the same tie on the second edge of the heating pad.
24.On the other side of the heating pad we make 2 more ties.
25.Put the heating pad on the mug. We tie the ties into bows.
26.The front of the warmer on the mug looks like this:
27. From the side, the composition looks like:
The crocheted “Snowman” warmer will warm you up on a cold winter day and put everyone in a festive mood.
