This exclusive Tunisian Pyramid Lace Stitch Mug Rug Pattern is jaw-dropping and would make a lovely addition to any home. It also makes a fantastic gift (especially paired with homemade sweets or drink mixes and a mug).
If you are unfamiliar with mug rugs, these are little sewn, quilted, knit, or crocheted pieces that are similar to potholders or coasters. Except that they are the perfect size for holding a mug or cup and a snack.
This crochet pattern allows you to add fringe or keep it without, so it all depends on your style. This pretty texture would also be fun to play with by using different solid colors or variegated yarn colors for different seasons.
