Yesterday, I posted on a Mug Cozy and Coaster Gift Set, which I gave to each of my co-workers on Three King’s Day.

As promised, here is the free pattern for the Slanted Shell Coasters.

Materials:
- Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn - I used Lily Sugar n Cream in Psychedelic, Oriental Ochre, Yellow, Red, and Brown
- H8/5mm Hook
- Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends - I like to use a #18, or #20.

Materials Notes:
With one three ounce skein, you will be able to make 6-8 coasters.
Bernat Handicrafter Yarn will also work great! Lion Brand Kitchen Cotton will work up a tad bit bigger.
Cotton yarn is a little tougher when it comes to weaving in your ends. You will want a tapestry needle with a larger eye, and duller point otherwise, it will take you longer to weave in your ends and hurt your fingers from tugging at the needle and yarn.

Time Spent:
I was able to work up a set of four in just under an hour.

Measurements:
Pre-Border, these coasters measure 3.5” across. With the half double crochet border, they measure 4.25” across.

See pattern notes if interested in a 4” square instead.

Abbreviations:
SC - Single Crochet
HDC - Half Double Crochet
DC - Double Crochet
