Introducing the Foxy Mug Rug, a delightful crochet amigurumi pattern that adds a touch of whimsy to your home! Perfect as a placemat for your favorite mug or as a charming desk decoration, this little fox brings warmth and personality to any space. With easy-to-follow instructions and adorable results, it’s the perfect project for both beginners and experienced crocheters alike. Get ready to stitch up some cuteness!
The Foxy Mug Rug is a cute amigurumi cup coaster! It is nearly no-sew, only requiring sewing for the head and tail to the body. The fox has a floppy and unstuffed body, making it suitable to use as a coaster or decor for your office desk. You can also let this woodland animal perch on your shoulder as a portable pet!
This versatile pattern can work as a wolf or dog by using different yarn colors. Imagine it in a light grey and white, or in your favorite color(s) to match your aesthetic!
It makes a great emotional support stuffie, birthday gift, baby shower gift, Christmas holiday gift or market/craft fair product. If you are a coffee or tea lover (or you're searching for the perfect gift to make for someone who is), this foxy mug rug will not disappoint! Can you imagine how much joy it'll bring to you when you see it perched on your desk each morning?

- Fast to work up

Recommended Yarn
This pattern was designed using faux fur yarn for a soft and furry stuffed animal! I used Lion Brand Yarn's Feels like Bliss Yarn, and really enjoy how silky it feels when crocheting. Other yarn options like blanket yarn or chenille velvet yarn can also be used with this pattern to create a plush look.
