Interesting crafts clothes for mugs. Original knitted cover for a mug with knitting needles in one evening

In this master class, we decorate a mug with a crochet cover. Such a mug is designed for hot drinks, where a cover over it will protect your palms from contact with hot walls. And how nice it is to drink your favorite drink from such a cute mug on cold days. By that she will already be a good gift made by hand, including for the new year. Put along with it a pack of aromatic tea or coffee and original gift ready.
And so you picked up the threads of the future cover for the mug.

We start by casting on an air row of loops by checking it with the circumference of the cup, the chain should be slightly larger than the circle.

Apply the dialed rows to the mug to visually represent the height of your case. When the height you need is reached, knit the side horizontal edge of the cover from top to bottom from the place where you finished gaining height also with a single crochet.

Then do a series air loops to reach the opposite side of the cover, starting from the edge where you finished tying the edge.

Join the row on the right side, pinning it to the loop on the lower right edge. When working the next row from right to left (1) attach the row to the left side. When knitting a row from left to right (2) attach the row to the right side.

Finish the set of rows by attaching the last row to the right side and knit the horizontal edge of the cover from the bottom up, as you worked the left vertical edge from the top down.

Without stopping, knit again the vertical left edge, from top to bottom (1), the bottom connection of the edges of the cover from right to left (2) and go up along the left vertical edge (3). This step was needed to decorate the edge of the case.

Sew on the button on whichever side is convenient for you.

Here is the cover and ready.

For a cup tapering downwards, the knitting will be somewhat different.

You can start knitting with a larger circumference, gradually reducing the rows, narrowing the product to the narrower side of the cup.

Hello! We continue to cook with our own hands new Year gifts relatives, relatives, friends and colleagues. Today I want to offer you a very interesting idea for a gift that can be made in one evening. New Year's warm clothes on a crochet cup!

New Year's clothes on a crochet mug

In order to knit New Year's clothes for a mug, I needed 20g gray-blue acrylic yarn, a little white acrylic yarn for tying, hook No. 3, small white buttons 9 pieces, 3 mother-of-pearl white buttons (for fastening), 2 red buttons, a needle with white and red thread, 2 felt snowflakes, Santa Claus, Moment type glue, scissors.

Warm clothes on a crochet mug : we collect a chain of 13 air loops (which are 9 cm wide) and knit with single crochets 27 cm in height. Getting a strip knitted fabric 9 cm x 27 cm. Tear off and fasten the thread. We take acrylic thread white color and we tie the entire strip with columns without a crochet. At one end of the strip we sew three buttons, and at the other end we knit three loops.

The most interesting and delicious in this work : decorate finished clothes with beautiful decor. Here you can show all your imagination and think of how to decorate clothes. You can use a variety of beautiful buttons, beads, snowflakes, sparkles and so on that you have. This is an interesting and very exciting process. Decorated! Now it's time to make loops and buttons.

The easiest way to find the place of the loops is : first fold the edge of the canvas (9 cm) in half and find the middle. First we knit the middle loop in the middle (a chain of 7 air loops), fasten it and then we knit one extreme loop. We also sew buttons on the opposite side of the edge of the fabric. We find the middle, sew the first button in the middle, and after it the two extreme ones.

After studying the diagram and illustrated master class, you will learn how to knit a cover for a mug with knitting needles with your own hands in one evening.

A knitted case not only looks beautiful, but also performs practical functions - it protects hands from a hot cup and keeps the drink warm. Such a versatile case is useful both at home and at work. It can be given to a man New Year, February 23 or other holiday. The yarn consumption is low, the technique is simple and suitable for beginners. Use different colors so that everyone gets an original surprise.

Materials and tools for knitting

To knit a cover for a mug, prepare a kit that includes:

  • a cylindrical mug, preferably without a pattern or with a print that can be hidden under the case;
  • knitting needles No. 3;
  • hook No. 2.5-3 (this tool is optional);
  • acrylic or mixed yarn - choose strict colors for a guy, and brighter ones for women;
  • centimeter (ruler);
  • a button of small diameter - more strict for a man, romantic for a girl;
  • needle with thread.

Step by step work technique

The dimensions of the knitted cover for a standard tea cup are 6*24 cm. The knitting density is 2 loops per 1 cm. If your knitting density differs from the indicated one, recalculate the number of loops cast on. The presented model has a transverse pattern. That is, the pattern is not located from the bottom up in relation to the mug, but is horizontally oriented.

Pattern loops covers are distributed as follows:

  • 1 edge,
  • 3 garter stitches (in the front and back rows, all loops are knitted only with front ones),
  • 6 for a braid with a cross to the right (three are left before knitting, three are knitted from the knitting needle, then the first three are put on the knitting needle and knitted),
  • 3 loops in garter pattern,
  • 1 edge.

Knit braids in the front rows - front, from the inside - purl.

Choose the right mug. Measure its height with a centimeter or ruler. Keep in mind that the case is best made in such a size that it did not reach the top(by 1-1.5 cm), otherwise it will be inconvenient to drink from the dishes. In this master class, the optimal size was chosen - about 6 cm. 2. Dial 14 loops on the knitting needles.


Knit the first row with knit loops.


Then continue to knit according to the above pattern. Along the edges you should get a ribbed pattern, in the center - facial surface.


In every seventh row, cross the central six loops to form a braid.


Knit 24 cm in this way. Wrap the knitting around the mug and check that the edges reach exactly to the handle. Do not close the loops yet - you need to untie the fastener.


Cast off 4 sts on right side and continue as usual.


turning over knitted case on the other side, close 4 more loops from the wrong side.


Continue knitting the middle 6 loops.


After knitting about 1.5 cm in the middle of the row, yarn over, and knit the last 2 loops together. You will get a small loop for a button. The clasp facilitates the use of the case for its intended purpose and serves as an additional decor.


Next, continue to knit facial 1-1.5 cm. Then close the loops.


Cut the threads that remain at the beginning and end of knitting to a length of about 4-5 cm. Then mask them by crocheting through the extreme loops.


Sew a button on the edge opposite the fastener, stepping back 1.5-2 cm.


Wrap the mug with a knitted cover, fasten with a button.

For a gift close person you can buy a simple cup, tie a beautiful case and give it all together ready-made. If you want to please a colleague, take measurements discreetly when he moves away from the workplace and leaves the dishes on the table.

Hello! Pleasantly cold winter evening, gathered in close family circle drinking a cup of hot tea. And we will get double pleasure if we drink from our favorite mugs, dressed in cozy clothes handcrafted. If you know how to knit at least a little and you have some yarn for knitting at home, then you can please yourself and your family with cute clothes for tea or coffee cups. For you my new master class:) Good luck!

It will take acrylic yarn (100% acrylic 300m / 100g), knitting needles No. 2.5; hook for finishing the edge and loops No. 3.

We collect 24 loops and knit:

1 row (front): 2 purl loops, 8 facial loops, 4 purl loops, 8 facial loops, 2 purl loops.

Row 2 (purl): 2 front loops, 8 purl loops, 4 front loops, 8 purl loops, 2 front loops.

3 row: purl 2, knit 8 knit as follows: remove all loops on an additional knitting needle and dress them in this order: first knit the last 4 loops at work, and then knit the first 4 facial loops, 4 purl loops, the next 8 loops we knit like this: first we knit the last 4 front loops before work, and then the first 4 front loops, 2 purl loops.

Row 4 and all other even purl rows are knitted in the same way, according to the pattern.

5 row - 8 row knit according to the pattern.

9 row: 2 purl loops, we knit the next 8 loops like this: first we knit the last 4 front loops before work, and then the first 4 front loops, 4 purl loops, 8 front loops we knit like this: remove all loops on an additional knitting needle and dress them in this order: first knit the last 4 loops at work, and then knit the first 4 front loops, 2 purl loops.

10 row - 14 row knit according to the pattern.

15 row knit as 3 row.

16 row - 20 row knit according to the pattern.

We knit the 21st row as the 9th row and continue to knit until the height of the fabric is 25-26 cm. We close all the loops in one row.

Crochet the entire resulting knitted rectangle with single crochets. On the side we knit 15 columns with yellow thread and continue to tie 34 columns across the width, again 15 columns and again 34 columns. In total, when tying, you need to knit 98 single crochets.

Crochet buttonholes on one of the sides. For each loop, we collect 5 air loops of the chain, we knit only 3 loops: 2 at the edges and 1 loop in the center. By using carpet needle hide the ends of the thread.

Sew on 3 buttons , substituting several matches (between the canvas and the button), we make a few stitches, and then wrap them (stitches), winding the leg with a thread so that the button does not fit snugly against the knitted base. We put clothes on a mug and fasten.

We continue the theme of the convenience of tea drinking in the fall, I have already talked about beautiful teapots in a wonderful and funny one. The queue has reached the mugs, we will knit and update the old mug. Such an update has not only a decorative task, but can also be a protection for hands from a hot cup of tea. Doing such a little thing with your own hands is easy and fast.

We will need:

  • Mug, glass or porcelain.
  • Yarn, any of your favorite colors.
  • Knitting needles (size depending on the thickness of the thread).

We measure the girth of the mug, I have it 25.5 cm and the height of the mug, 9.5 cm. We knit the figure, as in the figure.

For knitting, I took two threads, woolen and cotton. We collect the number of loops equal to a little less than the height of the mug, so that later it would be convenient to drink. I got 24 loops (this is 8 cm high). We knit the first 3 rows of facial loops, 4th row - all facial loops, 5th row: knit the first 3 loops and the last 3 loops, purl the loops between them. Repeat rows 4 and 5 to the desired length of the canvas. Last 4 rows knit facial loops (I got 1o0 rows). Close 8 loops, knit 8 and close the remaining 8 again. We cut the thread and tie it to the beginning of open loops for knitting eyelets for buttons and further 12 rows. For hole for a button on the 12th row we close 4 middle loops, and in the next row we collect 4 new loops. And we knit the last 4 rows and close all the loops.

Sew on a button.

It turns out here is such a blouse for a mug.

For decoration, you can sew a small uneven rectangle out of felt and embroider on it tea.
