Coasters are a fun and quick project that I like to make as gifts or for charities. Cotton yarn is needed as it not only holds the shape better they absorb the heat from a mug as well.
You can find all sorts of patterns for coasters and I like the simple patterns. Ravelry have plenty to chose from.
They have a wide selection of knitting and crochet patterns that are fun to make.
These are made with a variegated cotton yarn in spring like colours.
The large coaster can be used under a vase or a plant pot on a table or as a place mat. The matching coasters make it a nice set as gift.
These are bright and the white border makes the colours pop.
These are knitted using a corner to corner pattern. I always have a problem making them look square. they really need blocking to help them hold the shape.
All these are for the MK Friends Charity at the Hospital ready for their Spring Fayre in April.
