Cup (Color: Orange)
R 1 mg, 6sc (6)
R 2 (inc)* (12)
R 3 (inc)* (24)
R 4 (sc 3, inc)* (30)
R 5 BLO 30 (30)
R 6 sc 30 (30)

- Make 1sl st to the next stitch to even out the edge. F/O and cut off yarn.
- Take a small piece of cardboard (any thick piece of paper will work) and cut out a circle the size of the cup’s bottom. Next, place the circle on the bottom of the cup – it will help to keep it flat.
- Don’t stuff the cup yet, leave aside.
Coffee Top (Color: Brown)
R 1 mg, 6sc (6)
R 2 (inc)* (12)
R 3 (inc)* (24)
R 4 (sc 3, inc)* (30)
R 5 sc 2, (inc, sc 4)* - repeat the sequence in brackets 5 times, inc, sc 2 (36)
- F/O and leave a longer tail for sewing.
- Take the ‘Cup’, find BLOs made in row 16 and, using a needle, start attaching the ‘Coffee Top’ (BLO to BLO only).
- When about ¾ of the ‘Coffee Top’ is attached, leave a small hole and stuff the ‘Cup’ with polyester filling. Once the ‘Cup’ is properly stuffed, finish sewing and weave in the remaining thread.
Cream (Color: White)
R 1 mg, 6sc (6)
R 2 (sc 2, inc)* (8)
R 3 (sc 1, inc)* (12)
R 4 (sc 1, inc)* (18)
R 5 sc 18 (18)
R 6 (sc 7, dec)* (16)
- Make 1sl st to the next stitch to even out the ‘Cream’.
- F/O and leave a longer tail for sewing; stuff with polyester filling (use small tweezers, it will be easier to stuff the top).
- Using a needle, attach to the ‘Coffee Top’.
Tip: When attaching the ‘Cream’ to the ‘Coffee Top’, use the ‘Cream’ BLOs only – it’s like standard sewing; just instead of inserting the needle into the whole stitch, insert it into back loops only, make 1 stitch and move on to the next stitch.
Green Circle (Color: Green)
Note: Don't count CH as a stitch.
R 1 mg, 7sc – join with sl st, don’t turn (7)
R 2 CH 1, (inc)* – join with sl to the top of the chain (14)
F/O, leave a longer tail for sewing. Attach to the front of the ‘Cup’ between rounds 9 – 14, weave in remaining thread.
Tip: When attaching the ‘Green Circle’ to the ‘Cup’, use the ‘Circle’ BLOs only (in the same way as ‘Cream’ was attached to the ‘Coffee Top’).
