Free Pattern - Quick and Easy Coasters

Free Crochet Pattern

by SusanBLuvsCrafts

These easy coasters are quick to make. Samples shown were made in Country Cotton Cabled (blue and brown) and Southmaid Cotton 8 (pink).

Materials needed:

• A worsted weight cotton yarn should be similar in weight to the Country Cotton Cabled (CCC) and Southmaid Cotton 8 (SM8) used for the samples. Both yarns have been discontinued for some time. Ravelry shows the CCC was an aran weight cotton and the SM8 was a DK weight cotton. I made 5 coasters with 1 ball (77 yards) of CCC.
• Crochet hook size F (Increase or decrease your hook size if you crochet tightly or loosely.)
• Blunt end yarn needle

Gauge:

The finished coaster is about 4" across. Size will vary slightly depending on the yarn you use.
