Crocheted Coasters with Jazz Yarn

Completed: 2007
Dimensions: seven coasters, each 3 1/4" in diameter

Sometimes I'm just a sucker for pretty yarn. I bought one single ball of Artful Yarns' Jazz yarn (in color "Billie") at a store back in 2003 or 2004, but didn't have a plan for it and didn't do anything with it for years.

Finally I decided something needed to be done with it, even if it was just to let me work with it.

I used a size G crochet hook and crocheted little single-crochet circles until the yarn was used up, and then felted them inside a pillow case in the washing machine in hot water.

After they were dried and flattened out, I used a spare length of Jamieson's shetland yarn in a light beige to embroider little stars in them. The stars came out much more awkwardly than I had meant them to, but I kind of think they work.
