Crochet coasters are among the easiest patterns to make. They can simply be produced in different shapes such as circles, squares, hexagons and many others depending on your creativity.
Furthermore, using any kind or color of yarn, you can change the style just by modifying the colors and design details as well as adding a customized edging. You can even create coasters that signifies your favorite style or to reflect the holiday season.
Moreover, these cute little things can add style to your table at home or at the office and exhibit party themes. Same pattern can also be used to make larger motifs that can be displayed in the walls. In addition, these are also great for making personalized gift sets to your loved ones.
Therefore, I have made such coasters for personal use at home and at the office. I even made some for my colleagues and they loved it!
This is the pattern I used which I also based from a design I found in Youtube.

Here’s the resulting coaster using Neon Yellow and Dark Green yarns
And another one using three shades of Blue yarns
The result is beautiful and perfectly colorful! Just right and good to the eyes while relaxing and drinking your favorite coffee.
This became a hobby for me especially when I’m at home. It also relaxes my eyes due to prolonged use of computer at work.
I feel so happy too! ‘Cause I was able to finish crafts from scratch according to my personal taste and liking.
