Home Keeping: Crochet
I had a coaster project pinned on my Hooks and Needles Pinterest board that I have been wanting to try. I haven't crocheted much in the last few years, but this was basic - chain stitch, slip stitch, double crochet and single crochet.
I kept the pattern pulled up on the Macbook but didn't have to look at it much once I got going.
I didn't have the proper size hook, which was G, so I used an H hook, and yarn from my stash.
I was happy how it turned out.
They are not very big and I did this red one in about 15 minutes.
I decided to try in in a finer yarn with a smaller hook, this time an F.
I like this project very much, and want to try it using wool yarn. These would make delightful hostess gifts, or birthday, or Christmas. Very sweet and useful.

I found a great copy of Mollie Makes Crochet used on Amazon and I'm going through it to decide which project I want to try first. Most are easy (which I need after not crocheting for decades!).
Those are cute!
Your "basic" project looks like Greek to me. (I never learned to crochet!) But they are really cute and I agree that they would make wonderful hostess gifts.
Fifteen minutes?! Really?!
I made myself a set a couple of years ago from natural wool and then felted them. They make great indoor frisbees! I've found a few in the corners. Ha!
I recently picked up my crochet hook after a very long absence. It was amazing how quickly the skill returned to my fingers. Love these coasters. They turned out well. I'll be pinning this pattern. Thanks.
Very sweet project. I agree with Cheryl, Greek to me also. I used to knit but have never learned to crochet. ♥
Lovely colors!
I really must learn to crochet some day. You make it seem so easy, but I'm sure I'll have lots of problems with it!
Very cute! I haven't done any crocheting in about year. My daughter made me a coaster for my birthday and a little makeup bag for my purse. So at least someone in my family is keeping at it!
Lovely crochet project!
