I am excited to share with you a quick crochet coaster pattern that uses very little yarn and looks great in any colors. I always seem to have a never ending supply of left over yarn from other projects.
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! Dishcloths are a fun way to add some color to the kitchen as well.
I like the moss stitch, because it is a one row repeat with a classic look. You can easily get into a rhythm crocheting this stitch and your project will fly by!
