Last year, I made a Buffalo Plaid Placemat. This year, I wanted to make a matching coaster, as well as test out WeCrochet Dishie in a plastic canvas project. This coaster is perfect any time of year, wherever you put your coffee cup down, and can even be used under a candle on an entry way table.

Materials:

• 20 Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn – I used WeCrochet Dishie in White (8 Yards), Black (8 Yards) and Ash (4 Yards)
• Small Amount of 7 Mesh Plastic Canvas (soft or stiff – I used stiff)
• Tapestry Needle
• Optional, Jewelry Pliers

Material Notes:

In my experience with my Buffalo Plaid Placemat, it fuzzed up around the edges quite a bit over the last year, so I wanted to try using cotton yarn for this coaster. My concern was that it would be too thin, and you’d see too much of the canvas showing through. From a distance, you don’t see the gaps, but up close you can see it. Dishie is a slightly thinner worsted weight cotton. I think Lily Sugar n Cream would fill it in a little bit better. Next sample, I want to test out WeCrochet Swish, which is a 100% merino wool.

Yarn Alternatives to Dishie: Lily Sugar n Cream, Crafters Secret Cotton

Other Yarn Alternatives: Red Heart Super Saver, Caron One Pound, Bernat Super Value, WeCrochet Brava

Jewelry pliers are an excellent tool to use to help weave in ends. Insert needle under the stitches, then grab the tip with the jewelry pliers and gently pull through (be careful because eye of needle or plastic canvas can break).

Time Spent:

This coaster took me just under 20 minutes to complete.

Measurements:

With Border, 4″ Square

As a blogger, I rely on views to my blog to earn money from my ads. Please do NOT share my graph photo, or save the graph photo to Pinterest. Doing so, would allow makers to not have to return to my blog, which would result in a loss of views and income.

This graph is a bit busy, but the stitch pattern is super simple to do without the graph if it’s too busy for you.

Buffalo Plaid Coaster Plastic Canvas Pattern:

Cut plastic canvas to 26 holes wide by 26 tall. You may want to stitch it first, and then cut off the excess after so there is no counting required.

Continental stitch boxes of 5 stitches wide by 5 stitches tall. The easiest place to start is in the top left corner with White.

When finished, whipstitch all the way around in black.

Please feel free to make and sell your own Buffalo Plaid Coaster using this pattern, but please DO NOT claim this pattern as your own nor should you sell my pattern, and DO NOT re-publish my photos as your own. DO NOT copy and paste my pattern anywhere, link to it instead.
