Spring Lace Coasters - Crochet Pattern
Spring Lace Coasters - Free Pattern
Celebrate spring with a nice cup of tea and these beautiful lacy table coasters to go perfectly underneath that antique china you've been dying to use. The pattern itself was inspired by a book I picked up at my local HPB called "Crochet With Color", written by an amazing Japanese Crochet/Knit artist named Kazuko Ryokai. The pattern I am posting today, however, is edited and revised to my own personal liking; a little bit smaller in size and a simliar, however, different technique than used in her book. In saying this, I think this book is DEFINITELY worth buying and is home to some of the most beautiful crochet patterns I have ever seen.
So here it is, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did:
Please be respectful and do not sell or publish this pattern in any way, especially as your own.
