As a knitter, there are so many great things you can do with yarn, and sometimes that means designing something yourself. Here is one of my original designs.
One day I was sitting watching TV drinking an iced tea when I looked at my side table and saw a little water ring there. I didn't think much of it until the next day the same thing was happening. Then I decided, you know what... I need a coaster. I grabbed some needles and stash yarn, and the Basket Weave Coaster was born.
Basket Weave Coaster Pattern
The yarn I have used for the coasters is a cheap but awesome yarn you can generally find at Michaels or Joannes! It soaks up condensation really well and works great with this pattern. The yarn is Lily Sugar'n Cream.
