Attaching Mug and Handle
With Mug and Handle,
1. With one of the ends of the handle, attach it to your mug between rows 7 and 8 right below the long loop on the mug with your darning needle. Secure in place and bring the end of the yarn inside of the mug.
2. With the other end of the handle, attach it to your mug between rows 12 and 13 right below the long loop on the mug. Secure in place and bring the end of the yarn inside of the mug.
Attaching Safety Eyes
Insert the safety eyes between rows 9 and 10. You can choose which side of the mug you insert the eyes into. I like to have the handle on the right side of the mug. Attach the eyes so they are three stitches apart. The eyes should have three stitches between them.
Attaching Mouth
The mouth shape will form like the letter V. With your darning needle and black yarn, insert your darning needle from the inside of the mug to the outside of the mug one row below the left eye. Place your darning needle one row to the right and one row below the stitch your yarn is coming out of from the outside to the inside of the mug. Place your darning needle in the stitch one row below the right eye, pulling from the inside to the outside of the mug. To finish the mouth, place your needle into the bottom point of the mouth from the outside to the inside. Secure the mouth in place. Do not pull the yarn too tight. Tie on the inside of the mug.

Insert your hook back into the loop on the mug and insert your hook into the last SC stitch on the coffee piece. The stitch right before the SLST. SC to secure in place. Continue the SC stitch joining the c piece to the mug to create the mug rim around until you have about 8 stitches left.
Stuff Your Mug
With the 8 stitches left around the rim, stuff your mug so that the coffee piece has lift to it. This makes the coffee piece more visible.
Once your mug is stuffed, finished SC around the rim of the mug.
SLST into the last stitch.
Tie off and tuck yarn into the inside of the mug.
