Tribal Stripe Coasters – Free Knitting Pattern

This pattern is so short and easy, I’m not even making a pdf file for it! You could literally memorize it…or jot it down. 😉

Coasters are one of those things, I think, that you just can’t have too many of. These are stylish, functional, and satisfying to make. Knit them up in colors for each season and mood! These are made from cotton, but you could also make the from wool for a super hygge feel.
