Tunisian Crochet Coaster Pattern

These Tunisian crochet coasters are a quick and practical project that’s perfect for practicing your stitches! Made with worsted-weight cotton yarn, they feature a pretty textured design using Tunisian simple stitch, purl stitch, and crossed stitches.

The finished coasters measure approximately 4½ in. (11.5 cm) square, making them a lovely addition to your kitchen or a thoughtful handmade gift. Make a matching set in your favorite colors or mix and match for a fun look!
