Celebration Crochet Coaster

IT’S CLOVER’S 100TH ANNIVERSARY! We could not be here today without all of the love and support we receive on a daily basis from people like YOU! <3 So today, we decided to partner with @stringsandcuddles and create these magnificent Celebration Crochet Coasters!

Additionally, it is harvest season, which calls for festivities, get-togethers, and gratitude! Elisa from @stringsandcuddles created the “Celebration Coaster” by combining a flower, a star, and a firework into a single design with festivities in mind. The good thing about this pattern is that it can be made in any color or colors to fit any celebration! This pattern is very easy to make and a lot of fun. Basic crochet stitches such as chain, single, double, treble, picot, and puff stitches are required for this pattern. Ready to take on this project? Come on, let’s begin!
