Free Mandala Coaster Pattern

I designed this free Mandala Coaster Crochet Pattern in August and released it in September on Instagram.

It is an easy-to-crochet project that you can make and give as gifts. This Mandala Coaster is crocheted using the left-over bits from my Stone Washed and River Washed Colour Pack, but you can make it with any Sport Weight / Baby Weight Yarn and a 4 mm (G) hook. If you use a heavier yarn, I recommend you also use the hook specified on the yarn label. It will change the finished project’s size but this Mandala will make a lovely table doily too.
