Mandala Coasters

Description

There is nothing quite like a quick-win crochet project to lift your spirits, and these Mandala Coasters are absolute joy on a hook. Starting from a neat magic circle, each coaster grows round by round into a gorgeous, symmetrical medallion. This pattern is rated easy, making it a fantastic choice for beginners who want to move beyond basic blankets and try working in the round. Experienced makers will equally adore how fast these work up, it takes only seven quick rounds to complete coaster, making it the perfect relaxing afternoon craft.

Since they measure just under five inches across, these little mandalas are the ideal size for supporting your morning coffee mug, a glass of iced tea, or even a small potted succulent. They add an instant touch of cozy, handmade warmth to coffee tables, nightstands, or desks. Packaged in a neat set of four or six tied with a bit of twine, they also make a perfect housewarming present, teacher appreciation token, or holiday stocking stuffer.
