Simple Crochet Snowflake Coaster
"It’s the Holiday Season and it is time for a crochet simple snowflake coaster pattern. Make one in less than 30 minutes and that includes sewing in the yarn ends. Go ahead and rest that mug of holiday cocoa on a pretty handmade coaster. This free crochet coaster pattern is simple and not as cold as the real thing. There is a 2 part video tutorial on all 4 rounds of this crochet coaster; including the magic circle and how to weave in ends. Quickly crochet these snowflakes in the morning and be ready for a party in the afternoon or evening. If you are like me, you always want to make sure that the hostess has something special, too. Four Rounds and the snowflake is done."
