Perfect for
Skill level: beginner
This is a friendly first filet project. The shape reads clearly even if your counting slips by a square or two, and there are no tricky fragmented areas to track.
Yarn and hook
At this size the coffee mug shines in fine size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook; the tight gauge holds every block crisp. Traditional filet is a single colour, which keeps the block-and-mesh contrast readable, but you can always work the background in a second shade.
Project ideas
Reach for the coffee mug when you want a homely touch. It looks at home on a homey gift square and a tea towel alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.
Who it's for
Stitched for a new homeowner, the coffee mug suits a thank-you gift beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.
Size, printing, and scaling
Expect roughly 4.3 by 4.3 inches at 4 mesh per inch. Drop to fine thread for a smaller piece, or move to worsted to scale it right up. You can print a numbered chart as-is, or adjust the grid in the editor and export it in whichever format your project needs.
