Handle :

Ch 10,

Rows 2-3 : ch 1, turn, sc in each st, — (9 sts)
Leave enough yarn to whip stitch the long edges of the rectangle together + attach the handle to the cup.

Assembly :

Let’s start with the handle : Whip stitch the long edges together.

With a finger, push the brown part down to give the cup its shape then attach the handle to the cup :

Embroider and/or sew appliqués.

Start filling the cup with polyester stuffing (not much).
Take the cup’s and the bottom’s tail ends and tie them together so that the cup stays hollow and the bottom stays flat(ish).

Then whip stitch the bottom to the cup and, if you need to, add polyester stuffing as you go.

Voilà ! It’s done. Let me know if you have any question. ♥
