beautiful crochet coasters, easy to make and perfect as a gift
the yarn I used for this set is 3 balls of Martha Stewart's cotton hemp yarn : 65% cotton, 35% hemp that gives it the nice matte finish and little rough look - to me a perfect combination with the girly style of this this design.
I used hook size 5mm (8 US) for this yarn and it is washable on 40C, not unimportant for coasters I figure. If you are looking for a similar yarn to work with, know that these balls are 50gr each and 60 m long.

weave in the ends and you have made yourself a coaster!
Step 6
regarding the color lay out of the coasters: I choose to make them each different and unique, which with 3 colors comes down to 6 coasters. I used the yarn that was left to make the basket, but another suggestion would be to make more coasters in the same color combinations.
