I’m obsessed with my new Mug Rugs! They are so cute and because they are made of cotton, they are great coasters. You could use acrylic, it would definitely still give that “rug” look, but acrylic yarn won’t absorb moisture like cotton yarn will. These coasters are so easy and a great beginner pattern.
This pattern is available as an inexpensive, clearly formatted, PDF instant download HERE in my Etsy shop.
