It's rather retro to crochet your own coasters. But what's a person to do when you can't find decent coasters in the appropriate colors? These are crocheted in a great, easy care cotton/wool blend that comes in an amazing range of colors. Crochet them in a weekend. Makes a great hostess gift. Pattern includes the pattern stitch instructions separately so you can decide to make matching placemats, a table runner, or even a blanket if you are feeling ambitious!
