Materials and Notes

 

FINISHED SIZE
Each coaster measures approximately 4.5 inches across. 

MATERIALS
One skein each of organic cotton yarn in varying colors:  we used Nashua Ecologie and Blue Sky Organic Cotton

One 1/4 yard each of six different fabrics: we used Liberty of London Tana Lawn in Beige & Pink Kitty Hart; Kokka Kimono III in Pink; Lecien Birds & Flowers in Chocolate; Yuwa Garden in Yellow; and Kokka El Anche in Tan.

sewing thread in a color that will blend with the yarn:  we used Gutermann color 4660 and 1320

double pointed knitting needles in US size 7 or size for gauge

crochet hook in US G/4.5 mm or size for gauge

blocking pins 

patchwork pins

one ring marker for knitting

GAUGE

5 stitches or single crochets per inch on US size 7 needles in pattern stitch.
Gauge is not really crucial for this project, so this is just a guide.  The coaster should measure about 4.5 inches across after blocking.
