Pattern Details

Skill Level

Easy to intermediate.

Size

The pattern creates a coaster that is approx. 5.5” across.

Materials

Yarn: Any size 4 (medium) yarn. For each coaster, you will need approx. 5 yds of brown yarn, 10 yds of yellow yarn and 15 yds of green yarn.

I used Impeccable yarn by Loops & Threads in the colors “Chocolate Brown” (brown), “Sunny Day” (yellow) and “Deep Forest” (green). This yarn is size 4 (medium) and 100% acrylic. A skein is 285 yds / 260 m and 4.5 oz / 127.5 g.

Crochet Hook Size: G/7 (4.50 mm).

Other Materials: Yarn needle, scissors and a measuring tape.

This pattern is written for right-handed crochet using standard US terminology. If you’re more familiar with UK terms, here’s my US to UK Conversion Chart.
