    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 :)
