Rustic Elegance Coaster Set

"Spice up your next picnic, holiday potluck, or upcoming wedding reception with the Rustic Elegance set. There is a smaller coaster for cups, and a slightly bigger doily for setting candy or sauce dishes on. Crocheting with other materials has become somewhat of a fascination for me, and this doily set is the result of some recent experimentation with hemp cord. These coasters are quick to make, and use only a small amount of hemp each."

NotesBlocking is very important for these. They will not lay flat if you do not block!
I ended up crocheting with a little more tension than I usually do to keep my stitches even.
The hemp cord is not uniform in thickness so I tightened up for the thicker parts of the cord, and loosened tension for the thinner parts.
If you find the cord is hurting your hands you may be using too much tension.

Rustic Elegance is the perfect description for this project. The instructions are clearly written, but the pattern could benefit from having some photos to illustrate the different rounds. This is particularly important since each projectthe coaster and the small doilyare completely different patterns and not a continuation of the smaller one. I love this trend of using alternative materials, too.

Ive never seen anyone crochet with hemp before, but these coasters have a very elegant touch to them and I would have never guessed that is what was used. Along with the coasters, there is a doily to match that is slightly larger to be used for a saucer or snack dish.
