Simple Crocheted Coasters Are The Perfect Tiny Gift And Summer Take Along!
Someone just contacted me via the watermark on this photo, saying she saw the project on Pinterest, and the photo took her somewhere that did not link to my original post.

Enjoy, and make a bunch while you are at it, as it’s always great to have some homemade gifts on hand, right? Super simple crocheted…
