coast(er)ing along

sorry for that lame title, but i just love words! i also love Mollie Makes magazine, its stuffed full of projects, inspiring homes and you could almost read it just for the advertising. one such page prompted me to have a look at nook which is a blog mainly about yarncrafting. there are some free patterns available, one of which is for these crocheted jardain coasters.

jardain coasters

i made a set of four because these might become a pressie for an upcoming event (ssshh) and added an extra row to comfortably fit mugs. i love these easy projects that can be made in an afternoon with such good results and just use up scraps of yarn.

i'm thinking this pattern could be used for other things as well, maybe sew lots together to make a matching table runner or some placemats? ready? set? go..........!
