Hi friends!

I am Elisa from Strings and Cuddles! I am here to contribute a new, simple and quick crochet pattern! This pattern is perfect for any occasion or should I say season. This home decor project is a great addition to your kitchen table!

Let me introduce my newest pattern, the Sunshiny Coaster! The pattern name was taken from the name of the yarn I used to make my coaster. Since it is summertime, I thought that the name is just fantastic! But as I mentioned earlier, this project is suitable for any occasion or season. You just have to choose the right color combinations to use for whatever occasion or season you are making it for. This is an ideal stash-busting project!

So, without any further delay, let’s get started with the pattern.
