Hot Chocolate Mug T-shirt Yarn Basket - Crochet Pattern

This magical mug of hot chocolate crocheted from T-shirt yarn with marshmallows is a basket! It will be very original to give a Christmas gift in such a gift box, I am sure the recipient will be delighted!

The mug basket is roomy - it will fit sweets, a small toy, or, for example, a hat or mittens.

You can knit such a basket in a couple of hours, the pattern is simple and clear and is suitable for beginners. And the idea with ready-made pompoms as marshmallows will save time.
