Hey everybody!

Spring and Summer are approaching.

Which means in South Florida it's already in the mid-eighties in the afternoon.

Which means I am drinking more cold beverages than every before (except this is very serious due to pregnancy! Canigetta lemonade ova here!)

Which means more sweaty glasses.

Which means I need some pretty new spring coasters to save my tables from rings.

Or just to feel frilly and pretty - because lemonade looks better on a variegated pink coaster, right? Right!


So in short, today I have a quick, simple crochet coaster tutorial for ya!

This pattern can be worked with acrylic yarn but I definitely recommend using cotton. Much better lemonade-sweat-absorbing capabilities.

I'll link to some of my favorite cotton yarns below!

This pattern is also great for beginners! It uses very simple stitches and only consists of 5 rounds, so you're done and satisfied in a snap.

These would also make a great gift for teachers or friends with a fun new cold beverage tumbler and a cute printed recipe for homemade lemonade. Just sayin'!

Here is the handy video tutorial and pattern - enjoy, and stay cool!
