new crochet pattern - vintage coffee coasters by tara schreyer.

 
Vintage Coffee Coasters by Tara Schreyer

 http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/vintage-coffee-coasters


These coasters were inspired from some coasters that my aunt had given to her. She loved them dearly but they were starting to show the love that they received over the years. She asked if I would be able to make her some new ones. Well, of course! But these had a little extra something that made them unique! They had a rubber ring (used in canning) incorporated into one of the rounds. Reminds me of how crafters, in days gone by, were very thrifty and creative in choosing their crafting materials. Therefore, I called them "vintage" as they make me think of simpler times.

This pattern offers well written instructions and figure pictures. It calls for only 5 grams/18.25 yards of sport weight cotton (or comparable yarn) and a 2-3/8” Rubber Sealing Ring for each coaster.

Finished size: 4 1/4” (10.8 cm) diameter.

sneak peek.

Coffee anyone? These coasters work up extremely quick, and have a secret component to keep them weighted and durable. 


These offer so much potential for individual creativity. Use a neutral colour for a classic look, or play with bright colours for a cheerful set. I'm working on the pattern now, and should have it up for you sometime next week!
