Recycled Coasters(Free Pattern)

I ordered yarn online but after getting the yarn it was not very soft. I decided to  look for a yarn store in my area, so I could check out different yarns before buying them online. I found a great yarn store called Babetta's yarn and gifts, you can check it out here. There is a lot to see and Babetta is really helpful! When I was there I found a great yarn called 2nd time cotton (a recycled yarn), it has a great vintage look to it. I purchased 4 skeins and took it home to find a project. I had a green cotton yarn that mixed perfectly with the other colors.

I was looking on Pinterest and found a great coaster pattern. The pattern is from 1893 so the yarn would be perfect with it. The pattern can be found here.

The yarn colors I used are as follows:
2nd Time Cotton
793-Amethyst
237-Dogwood
810-Linen
290-Claret

Araucania Pomaire Solid
Color #68

Crochet Hook Size F (3.75mm). The pattern calls for a G (4.25mm) hook but I liked the results that an F (3.75mm) hook produced.

The pattern was easy to understand and is great for beginners.
Each coaster measures 5 inches (12.5mm)
Here is the finished product:

I decided to give these as a christmas gift to the ladies who work in the office.This is a gift I feel good about giving, not only are they handmade but they were made with recycled yarn!

               Here are a few color combinations I put together for gifts.

I think I will try to make something I have never made before SOCKS!
