I love everything about this project: coffee mugs, using up yarn scraps leftover from other projects, able to complete an entire project in 20 minutes, the list goes on and on! Plus, these would make an awesome last minute gift for anyone you forgot on your list (but don’t forget to make an extra set for yourself, because c’mon… these are adorable). Using only a handful of basic stitches, these coasters work up so quickly! Once you do one or two of them, you’ll have the pattern down by heart, and you can fly through a dozen in no time. Watch the tutorial video below, and get the free pattern beneath the video. Happy crocheting, friends!
