Pattern Overview

This pattern involves working the cup and saucer separately. The stitches used include double crochets, chains, and single crochets, forming sturdy and beautiful designs. The details and edge finish bring charm to the piece.

The Pattern: Crochet Cup

Base of Cup

Start with a magic ring or chain 5 and join with a sl st to form a ring.
Round 1: Chain 3 (counts as first dc), work 17 dc into the ring. Join with a sl st to the third chain of the beginning ch-3. (18 sts in total).
Gently pull the magic ring closed, leaving a small hole.

For absolute beginners: Start by making double crochets into the ring and joining the ends with a slip stitch. You’ll form a flat base that works into a circle.

Increasing for the Cup Base

Round 2: Chain 3, work 2 dc in every stitch around, join with sl st to the third chain of the beginning ch-3. (36 sts) Save
Round 3: Work through the back loops only. Chain 3, dc in each stitch around, join with sl st to the third chain.

This step gives the base a cup-like shape. The idea is to create a circular foundation that is slightly elevated.

Working the Cup Walls

Round 4: Chain 3, in the same stitch, work 2 dc, chain 2, 2 dc into the same stitch (creates a fan).
Skip 2 stitches, work (dc, ch 2, dc) into the next stitch (creates “V” stitch).
Save
Repeat the pattern: Fan in one stitch, then a V in the next. Skip 2 stitches between each. Join with sl st.
Round 5–7: Continue working fans in fans and V inside V for three additional rows.

By repeating the rows as described above, the cup walls will gradually grow outward and upward, giving it the desired shape.

Top Edging of Cup

Round 8: Chain 1, work 1 sc in each stitch around. In chain spaces of V stitches, work 2 sc.
Join with a sl st to the first sc, chain 1, and finish off. Use your lighter to secure the yarn if using polypropylene thread.

Congratulations, you’ve formed the body of your cup! Be sure to gently stretch and shape it with your hands.

The Cup Handle

Use the secondary color yarn (e.g., blue).
Create a slip knot and attach the yarn to the middle stitch of a fan row (near the cup’s side).
Chain 12–14 stitches (depending on the desired handle size). Join to the middle stitch of the fan row directly opposite, forming a loop for the handle.
Row 1: Chain 1, work hdc into each chain of the loop until you return to the base of the handle.
Secure with a sl st into the fan stitch, make a chain stitch, and finish off the yarn. Tidy up the ends.

The Saucer

Base of Saucer

Create a magic ring or chain 5 and close it with a sl st to form a ring.
Round 1: Chain 3 (counts as first dc). Work 17 dc into the ring. Join with a sl st to the top of the ch-3. (18 sts)
Pull the magic ring closed.

Increasing for Saucer Shape

Round 2: Chain 3, work 2 dc in every stitch. (36 sts)
Round 3: Chain 3, work (2 dc in the next stitch, 1 dc in the following stitch). Repeat around. (54 sts)
Round 4: Chain 3, work (2 dc in one stitch, 1 dc in the next 2 stitches). Repeat around. (72 sts)

This gradual increase will form the saucer into a flat, circular shape.

Finishing the Saucer

Attach the secondary color yarn with a sl st.
Round 5: Work 1 sc into each stitch around.
Save
Join with sl st, finish off the yarn, and secure the ends.

Assembly

Shape your cup: Use your hands to adjust the stitches until the cup holds its shape.
Place the saucer under the cup for display. If desired, you can glue or sew them together.
For additional decoration, crochet a small flower or embellishment in the secondary color and attach it to the cup.
