The Louise Coasters are the perfect pattern to whip up for a quick gift – you know you’re in for a goodie when the longest part of the project is the fringe!

There’s a perfect balance of busy and calm with the Louise Coasters – the alternating colours in each coaster and the effect of doing half the coasters with inverse colours sounds pretty busy, but with the soft fringe and muted palette the Louise Coasters look and feel calm and homey.

Made with simple single crochet worked in the round, it’s cutting, tying, and fanning out the fringe where you’ll spend half the time with this speedy pattern.

The Louise Coasters will need 4 skeins of Paintbox Cotton Aran - 2 of each colour in order to work the strands together to make for a strong coaster.
