Caffe Latte Cup Applique "I love you a latte"

By Janet Carrillo "damn it Janet, let's crochet!"
Ideas on how to use these appliques...
*These would be great to apply to any project.
*You can add them to kitchen towels,
*turn them into a keychain or fridge magnet.
*You can also make several and make a garland.
*Attach a ribbon to make them into bookmarks.
*Add them to the front of a homemade card.

SIZE/MEASUREMENTS
approx. size: 1.75"height x 2.5"length
...but can vary based on yarn and hook size.

MATERIALS
*Crochet hook size: 3.5mm (E)
*Worsted Weight Yarn: White (6yds)
*Felt: Light Brown & Black
*Makeup Blush & Q-tip (optional)
*Tapestry Needle
*Matching Thread
*Hot Glue

PATTERN NOTES - must read...
 Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round/row indicate the total number of stitches.
 Always use stitch markers to mark your rounds.
 There's no need to sl st and/or ch when going to the next round unless stated to do so.
 Always do the 1st stitch where you slip stitch from the previous round.
 The chain, in the beginning, does NOT count as one stitch unless stated otherwise.
 You slip stitch on the first sc, not on top of the chain 1.

CUP with white
  Row 1: ch5, 2sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next 2 chs, 2sc in next ch, ch1, turn (6)
  Row 2: 2sc in next st, sc in next 4 sts, 2sc in next st, ch1, turn (8)
  Row 3-6: sc in each st around, ch1, turn (8)
  Row 7: sc in next 2 sts, hdc in next 4 sts, sc in next 2 sts (8)
  Rnd 1: do not turn or chain, sl st down the side, the bottom, the other side sl st in next 2 rows, ch7, skip the next rows and sl st in row 7, continue to sl st across the top but only on the back loops
F/O, secure and weave in the ends.

ASSEMBLE
     I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the yarn at the end of the finished pieces to sew them in place, but I personally like to use matching thread).
     TIP...For anything that I’m going to be using felt, I like to first sketch it out on a white paper and make a stencil of what I need. Then cut it out. Then tape the stencil to the felt and cut it out.
     LATTE...using light brown, make a rounded thin rectangle. Place it on the top of the cup. I use a sharpie and did a thin outline around the piece.
     EYES...using black felt make the eyes. You can play around with it and make them however you like; the possibilities are endless. I simply made tiny circles.
     MOUTH...using black embroidery floss or thread, create the mouth. Make it however you like, the possibilities are endless.
     CHEEKS...you can use pink felt and make tiny circles or you can use makeup blush and apply some on each side of the eyes.
