Mini Tea Cup and Saucer Crochet Pattern

There's nothing better on a cold, gray, rainy afternoon, than a good audio book and a crochet project to keep your hands busy, unless maybe it's having a sunny cup of tea with your best sister.

I'm not happy with the teapot design, just yet. I'll keep tinkering with that. But, the cups and saucers turned out just the way I hoped, so I'll share the pattern, and record it for myself, below.

Cup
Chain 2.
Row 1: 6 sc (single crochet) in the first chain.
Row 2: 1 sc in first stitch, 2 scs in the next stitch, repeat 2 more times (9 stitches)
Row 3: 1 sc in the first 2 stitches, 2 scs in the next stitch, repeat 2 more times (12 stitches)
Row 4: 1 sc in the first 3 stitches, 2 scs in the next stitch, repeat 2 more times (15 stitches)
Rows 5 - 9: 1 sc in each stitch.
Tie off and weave in loose ends.

Handle
Leaving a tail for sewing on chain 4.
Sc in the second stitch from the last, and in the remaining stitch.
*Chain 1 and turn
Sc in the two stitches across*
Repeat between *s for more 6 rows.
Tie off, use the tail to sew the two long edges together.
Sew to cup.

It's great to be a homeschooler.
