I love this easy free crochet coaster and placemat patterns set. So versatile and makes a perfect gift, this is everything I want in a quick crochet project!
Who doesn’t love the idea of a new crochet coaster to dress up a coffee break?
Or, how about a complete set of cheery coasters included in a gift basket full of tea-time paraphernalia – inspirational quote mug, breakfast and afternoon tea flavor selections, maybe even a new teapot?
These sweet coasters fit the order with a super easy pattern. The only stitches required for the body of the coasters are half double crochet and cluster stitches. And my favorite part of the design is that the border is built right into the design. When you are finished with the body of the coaster, you are all set to move on to making the next.
I would love to see your cozy coffee or tea break using your Sunny Hollow Coaster creations. Please share by tagging me @goldenstrandstudio on Instagram.
Two designs are included in this coaster pattern set and they match perfectly to the Sunny Hollow Placemat Set available for free.
The free patterns are provided below including all sizes, materials, and notes. An ad-free PDF version of all three Sunny Hollow patterns is also available for you to purchase, download, and print out.
