I love to crochet and years ago I found a pattern online for these lovely crochet coasters. I sell them already made in my Shop, but a reader emailed recently asking for the pattern. I went back to the pattern I printed out and tried to find it online. Unfortunately it is no longer online (at least I can’t find it), so I decided to share the free pattern here with you! This is a simple project and they make a wonderful gift!

This is a very simple project that looks great when finished. It is a good beginner’s project, so for the beginners, the instructions will be written out with the abbreviations provided also.
