Crocheted Coasters and Trivets Using Hemp for Knitting allhemp6

The Design “Pops of color for your table.” For summer picnics or festive pops of color on sunny kitchen tables, we made simple crocheted coasters (shown here in color 021 Dijon) and trivets using our ‘Crocheted Baskets’ pattern, our free adaptation to the pattern, and allhemp6 yarn. One skein of allhemp6 is enough for 8 coasters, or 2 trivets, or 4 coasters and 1 trivet—your choice! Ultra-durable allhemp6 is a great fiber for protecting surfaces from moisture or heat. And all the colors give you plenty of options for spiffing up the table. They make great hostess gifts as well, so grab a skein, whip some up and be ready to say thanks for all your summer party invitations, or throw a party of your own. Pick up the Crocheted Baskets pattern above (if you don't already have it) and the free adaptation explaining changes for making coasters and trivets. Then choose your favorite color of allhemp6. See The Details tab for information on yardage requirements. The Details FINISHED SIZE Coaster: Approx. 4" in diameter. Trivet: Approx. 8" in diameter. YARN One skein Hemp for Knitting allhemp6 (165 yds/150m). Or approx. 165 yds/150m of an equivalent DK-weight cotton or hemp yarn. Note: One 4" coaster takes approx. 20 yds and one 8" trivet takes approx. 80 yds. NEEDLES & NOTIONS Size E (3.5mm) crochet hook, or size to obtain gauge (for a nice firm fabric). Locking stitch marker. Darning needle to weave in ends. GAUGE Approx. 20 sc in the round = 4"/10cm. Note: Your actual stitch gauge isn’t nearly as important for this project as getting a nice tight stitch that will give your coasters and trivets structure. If you need a smaller hook to get the structure, you may need a little more yarn to get the size you wanted. Digital Crocheted Baskets pattern. (Download) Printed Crocheted Baskets pattern.
