Crochet a cute Coffee Mug Amigurumi for your collection of handmade Christmas tree ornaments, or use your coffee cup as a keychain or gift tag!
This little Christmas ornament was born as a coffee mug. However, with the marshmallows and the chocolate straws, it looks more like a cup of hot cocoa!
And you could even make it into tea if you want!

Thank you so much for this pattern! It’s absolutely adorable, and I was able to make it into a gift box with only a couple of tweaks. I made a few for my Etsy store for Christmas, and I made sure to include the link to your site. 🙂

Oh my gosh, it’s so cute 😍 such a beautiful idea!
Cảm ơn tác giả đã cho mình một mẫu free vô cùng ngọt ngào.
Am so excited to start with this coffee mug. Have been wanting to find a free pattern for this and alas, thanks to you! Merry Christmas!
So cute and easy to make!
Every single stitch is explained.
Love it!
Love this!!! I just finished my mug and it was super easy! How do you embroider the white wavy lines on the mug though? I’ve been working on it for an hour and can’t figure it out.
Hi, if you take 3 sts, the lines are simple straight sts going from the bottom of the first st to the top of the middle st, and then from the bottom of the third st to the top of the middle st.
I made this with leftover medium weight yarn and a 3.25 mm hook and it still came out wonderfully! Thank you!
