Cup of Love Heart Coasters - red crochet coasters You can create this crocheted coaster with only 4 rounds. Who wouldn't enjoy receiving a few of these tied with a ribbon? Every time they use it they will think, "I am protecting my table surface and feeling loved all at the same time!"

I liked how these turned out so well that I will be making a big stack of hearts for my house right away. While coasters are typically created with cotton yarn, I loved the color of this acrylic one. Truthfully, they work just as well as cotton. And acrylic is even cheaper! :) Enjoy!
