Materials

- Hook Size: 4 mm crochet hook
- Additional Tools: Yarn needle, stitch marker, scissors, and a button (preferably chunky or decorative for closure)
This pattern is beginner-friendly while introducing some intermediate techniques.
Start by working the base with a magic circle followed by single crochet rounds, gradually increasing the stitches to shape the foundation.
For added stability, stitches are worked in a continuous spiral with a stitch marker to mark the starting point of each round.
To achieve the intricate and cozy design, the pattern incorporates the feather stitch, which works on odd-numbered stitches to produce an elegant textured effect. 
After finishing the edge with back-loop-only stitches, the body begins with alternating half-double crochets and chain one spaces.
These spaces form the foundation for the feather stitch that adds a unique design element. As the piece develops, measurements can be easily adjusted to suit mug sizes.
Difficulty Level
Beginner-Friendly to Intermediate
The tutorial is designed for those with basic crochet knowledge, such as chaining, single crochet, and half double crochet. While the base involves easy stitches, the feather stitch adds a slight challenge, making it ideal for beginners stepping into intermediate techniques.
