Yes you can! This pattern is written for a standard size mug. But you can just measure the width and lenght of your mug and then crochet the first piece (the rectangle) to those measurements.

Love your enthusiasm for crocheting. I teach basic crochet to defendants in our program (if they are interested). I would love to be able to print your patterns for use in the class. Thank you so much for your free patterns.
Thanks so much Charrie! And it’s amazing what you do! I’m in the process of putting up the printable versions of my patterns and should have all of them up by the end of January. 🙂
