Dragonfly Coasters
With spring here, it’s time for some brighter, lighter projects. These playful coasters are so sweet with a dragonfly in the center. I made them in all different colors for fun but they would look great all in one color too. And, because each one only requires approximately 12 yards for the body and about 7 yards for the border, they are great stash-busters too!
I designed these in #4 cotton worsted yarn, such as Lily Sugar n Cream, Red Heart Creme de la Creme or Premier Home Cotton. They are super quick to make and look great stacked on a table, ready for easy access to protect your surfaces.
I’m planning another pattern that works in conjunction with these coaters too, so check back often!

Followed this pattern and converted it into UK but everything seemed off centre. After taking in the pattern it seems a stitch has been missed on each row. Will remake and start again.

Thanks for the note. I verified the pattern and stitch count and all seems in order. Be sure you are counting the beginning ch2 as a double crochet as noted in the pattern.
