This snowman is a little too cold, so he’s taking a dip into a nice warm hot chocolate! He’s so cute and makes an adorable Christmas decoration! He’d be a great addition to a hot cocoa bar 🙂
Let’s get started!
Mug:
In Red
Round 1: 6 Sc into a Magic Ring (6) Round 2: *Inc* all around (12) Round 3: *Inc, Sc in the next st* all around (18) Round 4: *Inc, Sc in the next 2 st* all around (24) Round 5: *Inc, Sc in the next 3 st* all around (30) Round 6: *Inc, Sc in the next 4 st* all around (36) Round 7:*Inc, Sc in the next 5 st* all around (42) Round 8: In the BLO, *Sc* all around (42) Round 9-17: In BOTH loops, *Sc* all around (42) Round 18: In the BLO, *Hdc* all around (42)
Finish off and weave in ends.
Now we will add in cardboard so the bottom and bottom of the mug sit flat!
Step 1. Place the pot on cardboard and trace around the entire bottom of the mug (Pic 1)

Step 2. You will have a circle (Pic 2). Cut around the circle with scissors (Pic 3-4)
2. 3. 4.
Step 3. Place the cardboard at the bottom of the mug (Pic 5). Stuff the mug now.

Now we will mark where to place the safety eyes. Add a different colored stitch marker into the 13th and 17th stitch in Round 7.

Finish off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Add the safety eyes into the marked areas now. Place the snowman on top of the cup as shown. Sew the snowman to the cup, going through the cups back loops we left in Round 18 of the cup. Once done, weave in ends and cut any excess yarn.

Handle:
In Red
Row 1: Ch 16. Sc in the 2nd Ch from the hook. Sc in the next 6 Ch. *Inc* in the next 2 st. Sc in the next 6 st.

Finish off now, leaving a long tail for sewing. Pin the drips on as shown, there will be chains between each drip. Align these chains and the drips to the brown part of the mug. Now sew on or hot glue on (hot gluing is easier!)

Can you advise if there is a typo in the cup part of the pattern as row 18 says BLO but when it comes to assembly it says sew to back loop of row 18 but this is on the outside?

I noticed the mistake in round 18 of the cup as well. Flipped it to FLO and it turned out beautifully.
Thank you for your amazing work!
