Easy Free Crochet Pattern for Jute Coasters
Sherry shared her beautiful and unique all natural jute – yarn crochet coaster pattern with us here. From personal experience, jute is hard on your hands to crochet, but by adding the yarn you are not only making your hands happier, you also create a softer result. And the bulkier yarn means that you are done faster. Voila 3 winning ideas in one simple crochet project that is so so simple for beginners and that would make a fabulous housewarming gift, a stocking stuffer Christmas gift for friends and family.
