Notes
Mini latte-cup hanging charm. 4-ply cotton, 2.0mm hook. Stripes come from two colour changes on the cup; the coffee disc is joined to the cup rim on the last round. White surface slip-stitch is used for the latte art.
Frequently asked questions
How is the latte art made?
It is surface slip stitch: with white yarn, slip stitch over the top of the finished coffee disc in whatever swirl or heart shape you like.
How does the coffee disc attach to the cup?
On the cup's last round you single crochet through both the cup stitches and the matching outer stitches of the coffee disc, joining them as you go rather than sewing afterwards.
