I've been working on several different crochet projects lately. The other day I just really needed to feel as if I could complete something, so I sat down and made this cute (and quick) coasters.
I got the pattern from Attic 24. Mine aren't as neat and precise as hers, but nothing I do is as neat and precise as her work! But I had fun with them anyway and have been putting them to good use. I used Lily Sugar 'n Cream 100% cotton in Summer Splash, because it's what I had on hand. Even though the recommended hook was a 5 mm (US J/10), I used a size down (4 mm US G/6) for tighter stitches. I only did 4 rounds. My first coaster is bigger than the others as my stitches tightened up as I worked.
These would make quick and easy little gifts, as the whole set only took me about an hour to make.
Enjoy!
Oh I love this! It would be great if you would share this with our readers for Fun Stuff Fridays. http://www.toysinthedryer.com/2012/02/fun-stuff-fridays-11.html
