Mug rug

 A mug rug with a difference. Mug rugs can be any shape so why not be inventive. I made this one for a friend.
Sorry that the colours are off but the photo was taken in the evening. If your friend is a cat person, you can draw a rough outline if a cat. Get creative and do your own thing. You don't have to use other people's patterns. I was inspired by Sonja's version. It really isn't hard - all you have to do is try.

Excellent! I am partial to leaf shapes. The idea lends itself to a whole slew of things! Thanks!

I like this, but I know I wouldn't be able to bring myself to actually use it (I know, beyond any doubt, that I would slop coffee on it!).

I like your mug rug! I may just use your idea of a different size and shape, for the rug mug exchange our local guild is having in January - great idea!
