I am excited to share with you a quick crochet coaster pattern that uses very little yarn and looks great in any colors. I seem to have a never ending supply of left over yarn from other projects.
What do you do with it all?
Well, one of my favorite things to make with little bits of yarn are coasters. They are a quick an easy way to add some color to your tables and fun to make!
I like the waves stitch, because it is an easy way to practice the most basic crochet stitches. It uses sc, hdc, dc, and tr all in the same row and creates a fun wave pattern.
