Hot Chocolate Ornament Crochet Pattern

---

Day 12 of the 12 Days of Crochet Christmas is a little hot chocolate ornament pattern.

Who doesn’t love a good hot chocolate? This pattern is quick and easy with minimal sewing and the Santa belly mug gives it the perfect festive touch.

I can’t believe we’ve reached the end of the 12 Days of Crochet Christmas! I’ve had so much fun and I hope you have too. I’ll be posting a roundup post tomorrow with links to all the patterns. In the meantime, keep crocheting and keep sharing your makes with me. I love seeing them.

• BLO – back loop only

NOTES

The pattern is written using US terminology and measures approximately 1.75″ (4.5cm) tall when using the materials listed.

Pieces are worked in a continuous spiral starting with a magic ring unless otherwise specified. Mark the first stitch of each round with a removable stitch marker.

Gauge is not important in this pattern. Use a hook size to match your chosen yarn. Make sure that your stitches are tight enough to prevent stuffing showing through and adjust hook size if necessary.
