Fourth of July Crochet Coasters

Hosting a 4th of July party is a lot of responsibility--stylish patriotism is important! With these Fourth of July Coasters, your family and friends will be sipping cool refreshments and celebrating while a stars-and-stripes theme abounds. You don't have to just use these crochet coasters as coasters, though; they're great simply as crochet decorations or a dishcloth. The patriotic colors burst from the center of these 4th of July decorations like fireworks.  One skein of yarn makes three coasters, and they're an easy project to whip up just in time for a day of red, white, and blue.
