#12coasters 🍉 August

I really goofed on this month’s coaster, and it’s the first one to be late mailing to my sis. 😩 I lost the super cute coaster pattern I was tagged for ( @jrew72 ? @yaycrochet ?) so I just winged it. Then I grabbed the wrong color green for the last row which I did not notice until the backing was applied. 😭

11 hooked (kinda) and just 1 more to go! 🐌✉

#12coasters 🐚 the June coaster is ready for delivery! 🌞

My sis requested a seashell for June, and this nautilus shell pattern worked super-duper quick & easy for the task! (Bonus: the link is part of a series on freeform crochet.)

9 hooked and 3 to go! 🐌✉

🌼 my sis received the denim-backed April coaster for her 12-month subscription. 🌼🤗

This one is probably the least functional to date because I got too enthused with the appearance. No worry - she liked it just fine. ❤🐌

7 hooked and 5 to go! 🤗

❤•💟 •❤ The denim-backed February coaster has been mailed for my sister’s annual coaster subscription.

I used this Scandinavian heart crochet pattern 🍃 just needed to reduce the pattern by one round to get a fit on my pre-cut denim square. (Oh, and the coaster ended a little thicker on the point due to the weaving, but I just thickened the top by weaving extra yarn in the heart… bumps [?].)

5 made and 7 to go! 🤗

❤🍃🎄🍃❤ This denim-backed December coaster has been mailed for my sister’s annual coaster subscription.🎄 I fudged the center and then luckily stumbled across this ornament pattern (from my previous post) which I used for the last round. It worked like a charm! 😉

❤❄⛄❄❤ The denim-backed January coaster is in the mail to my sister for her annual coaster subscription.⛄❄ (She LUVS snowmen!)

I used this snowman applique pattern and increased the body by a couple rounds to get the size I needed followed by similar adjustments for the head. ⛄❄

4 done and 8 to go! 🤗

❤🍃🍁🍃❤ The November denim-backed coaster has been mailed for my sister’s annual subscription. 🍁 Two down and ten to go! 😄

I used this maple leaf pattern from The Painted Hinge and modified it only slightly to fit my denim square (reduced hdc to sc and dc to hdc). The actual pattern looks much better than my version, and it hooks up quickly. I hope you have time to check it out. ❤🍃🌼🍃❤

Oh, and what do acorns have to do with a maple leaf? Not much except they both come from trees… just not the same kind. (Actually, I was enjoying the acorn hunt with my daughter.)

October coaster ready to mail. 🎃 🤗

To make a pumpkin coaster I modified this super-cute pumpkin potholder pattern by shortening the foundation chain and then substituted the leaves for this squiggle vine-thingy. Because I want the coaster set to have a common ‘matching’ feature, I used heavy duty interfacing to bond the coaster to a denim square, trimmed it close, and then frayed the edges a bit. ❤🍃🌼🍃❤
