Crocheted Coasters


Hello.......... A couple of weeks ago it was my lovely sister birthday and as part of her present I got her this pretty solar lamp for her garden table and well it got me thinking......


 you see, I had the perfect colour matched cotton in my stash, so I decided I just had to make her some pretty coasters to go with the lamp.


So I had a little look about online for the perfect pattern and I found it here over at Bella Coco


I made my coasters on a 3mm hook using some left over Rowan Cotton 
glace, it lovely stuff to work with


and the coasters came together quickly in just a few rounds.


So after the first alfresco crochet of the year it was time to sew the ends in.


Ta-Dah

Do you like them? 


It was so nice to be out in the garden crocheting again, plus I discovered a perk of the top I was wearing, can you see ?  it has a handy little yarn pocket, just big enough for a ball of cotton.

Happy Days
