Instructions

Cast On: 18 stitches.
Moss Stitch Pattern:
- Row 1: (K1, P1) repeat to end.
- Row 2: (P1, K1) repeat to end.
- Repeat these two rows until the piece measures approx. 22 cm.
Buttonhole (optional):
- On a right side row near one end: Work 8 sts in pattern, bind off 2 sts, finish row.
- Next row: Work in pattern to bound-off gap, cast on 2 sts, continue to end.
Final Rows: Work 2 more rows in pattern.
Bind Off: Loosely in pattern.

How To

Moss vs Seed Stitch: Moss stitch alternates every row, unlike seed which alternates every stitch.
Don’t Pull Tight: Keep an even tension to prevent curling or puckering.
Yarn Choice Tip: Cotton gives structure; acrylic makes it soft and stretchy.
Button Tip: Sew the button last so it fits exactly where your mug’s handle aligns.
Washable: Choose yarns that tolerate machine washing for long-term use.
