Plastic ribbon coasters

This pattern is available for free.

A simple pattern that just uses double crochet. A good pattern to introduce working in the round. Ever since I attended the crochet coral reef workshop in london, it highlighted how we are all contributing to the problem of plastic suffocating our world .Its my way to try and help the environment.

In my bid to try and recycle things. I have been using alternatives to yarn. I have lots of the ribbon used to create bows around parcels, I’m not even sure what is called but florist use it to adorn bunches of flowers .They come in glorious range of colour.They are also waterproof and heatproof.

I have so many carrier bags .Cut the bags into stripes, there are loads of great methods on how to create carrier bag yarn (check out “you tube”).
The ribbon is avaible from florist,stationary shop, post office.
