About These Star Coasters
- These crochet star coasters work up quickly and are a great beginner project.
- Once you have made a few of these and understand the pattern, you can make each in about 20 minutes.
- These coasters have a repetitive pattern, and increases are worked in every round because of this, you can easily increase the rounds to make a matching star table centerpiece, placemats, cushions, and more.
- You could even use these crocheted stars to make Christmas tree ornaments by adding a decorative bow or use them to make a holiday-themed garland or bunting.
- These can even be used as appliques on items like bags, scarves, blankets and more to create unique items.
- Make them in themed colors to match occasions like Memorial Day, Christmas, Valentine's Day, or Thanksgiving.
