Two Coasters

A couple of weeks ago I wanted to make a couple of coasters for my sewing table. My go to is crochet so for the first one I found a circle motif in a Japanese crochet book that looked pleasing. I used some purple cotton yarn.

The second was woven on a little frame loom using a tabby weave, alternating yellow and grey yarn over each other. This was a fun pattern to follow and I especially liked practicing the double hitch knot to tie the ends together before removing.
