Circle Coaster Knitting Pattern, FREE

Alright, so I went a little crazy trying to figure out the perfect “circle” coaster.
I want to share them all with you, just in case you want to take this crazy train too ;)
Note: I didn’t block any of these coasters, but I think a light blocking would help them lay a little flatter.
This mustard “coaster” is the one that started my desire to find the perfect knitted circle. I was testing different ways to decrease stitches on a seed stitch hat and the test came out as a circle. It was super cute, so I had to use it for something and it just happened to be the perfect size for a coaster :)

or DPN’s or a longer cable to knit in the magic loop method.
CO 43 STS, PM, join in the round.
