Yes! The sixth ornament of Christmas is another crochet ornament, and it’s extra adorable. :) Crochet up a tiny mug ornament in no time that works for the coffee addict, tea lover, or beer aficionado (picture a tall pint glass with white foam on top) on your list. This makes a great keychain, gift topper, or of course, ornament for your Christmas tree!

If you make this or the other ornaments of Christmas, please share them on social media using #handsoccupiedhohoho! If you prefer Ravelry, there’s a thread to visit if you’d like to share or chat about them there.
Really adorable mug! Could you please tell me what the finished size is for the mug? And, did you sew or glue on the ribbon loop hanger, thanks! You do really beautiful work! I am a crocheter, but the knit ornaments are beautiful as well! :)
Hi Jerilyn! The mug is 1.5 inches tall, minus the ribbon I added for hanging. I sewed the ribbon on with quilting thread, but hot glue would totally work too – these ornaments are very light since they’re just yarn and stuffing! Happy holidays :)
Thank you so much for your reply, much appreciated! :)
