Colorful Crochet Sunshine Coaster Patterns
"This beginner crochet pattern is Pretty and useful. Full tutorial on how to make your own colorful crochet sunshine coaster. Create different looks by changing the colors for your own unique style.These pretty colored coasters are made from cotton yarn. While you can use an acrylic yarn, I think that the cotton yarn would work much better at absorbing the moisture from your drink. There are so many beautiful colors of cotton yarn that would be perfect for this project.This is a yarn stash buster crochet pattern. I was able to use 4 skeins to make 8 of the larger coasters and 8 of the smaller coasters with yarn still left over. These would also be a wonderful gift to give for a co-worker or teacher or even a wedding shower gift for the participants. Pair this with a mug or some other beverage container for a nice gift set. If you are like me, when you receive something handmade, I like it even more."
NotesChanging Color Hint
When changing color, pull the loop of the new color through the previous color loop. Pull the previous color loop snug. Continue crocheting with the new color of yarn. I have found that for this type of project it conceals the color change the best.
