Mini Matcha Latte

Matcha lattes are one of my favorite summertime drinks, and with the warmer months approaching I was inspired to make this sweet little matcha mug with whipped cream on top. Change out the colors of this pattern to create your favorite drink, and you’ll have a market-friendly pattern for any time of the year!

This is a low-sew pattern that works up in less than an hour. The only pieces you’ll need to sew are the mug handle and matcha leaf. Whether you’re a matcha lover or want to make some cute keychains for your next market, I’m confident you’ll love this little crochet pattern!

To make things even sweeter, I’ve included a downloadable tag to attach to your mug handle for some added cuteness! You can find it at the end of this pattern. I hope you enjoy and happy crocheting!
