We have a strong feeling you’re going to fall in love with these crochet flower coasters. Actually, scratch that, we know you’re going to go wild for these… Everyone please welcome Yvonne Eijkenduijn. She seems a little shy, but seriously she is behind one of the prettiest and most beautiful blogs we have ever seen, Yvestown. Definitely take a look once you’ve crocheted up your floral coasters using her free pattern! These crochet flower coasters are a great beginner project since they’re small and easy to complete. Make them in a selection of colours and serve them with homemade lemonade and a stripy straw for pure perfection.
