My friend reminded me that I used to crochet these coasters that look kind of like flowers or stars, so I made a set this weekend. These are made out of some really nice cotton yarn that I got at a local yarn shop, Crazy Girl Yarn Shop. The yarn is from Blue Sky Alpacas and I found a link to it here. It is the color Tomato.
These coasters are so easy to make and very quick. Here is a pattern:
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
Start with a slip knot on your hook, ch2
Round 1: 8 sc in 2nd ch from hook
Round 2: 2 sc in each sc around
Round 3: (sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc) 8 times (end with 24 stitches)
Round 4: (sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc) 8 times (end with 32 stitches)
Round 5: (sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc) 7 times, sc in next 4 sc (end with 39 stitches)
Round 6: (skip next 3 sc, 8 dc in next sc, skip next 3 sc, sc in next sc) 4 times, skip next 3 sc, 8 dc in next sc, skip next 3 sc and join with slip stitch to the next stitch
Tie off and weave the yarn end into the coaster.
Make your own, or buy these in my Etsy shop!
Too late for anyone else...I have bought these beauties. Are you going to make a set of square ones as well? I liked the square one you made in the car. I am very excited about this new endeavor of yours. ~Andrea
