Christmas Snowflake Coasters Pattern

It’s already the middle of November and the holiday season is in full swing. Most are getting into the holiday spirit by accenting their homes with colorful lights and decorative lawn ornaments. I’ve been sprinkling cheerful seasonal decor throughout my home and I’m trying to make sure every room is considered. That includes my dining area. Although we are not big party people, we do like to have lots of friends and family over to spread some holiday cheer. This means creating a spread of festive foods and drinks and bringing out my Christmas coasters.

Every year I make different coasters, so I surf the web until I find the ones I just have to make. There are masses of free patterns but I did find a festive set that would be perfect in our home from All Free Crochet. The Snowflake Coasters are pretty, festive and super easy to make.
