Family Game nights are full of fun, food, and drinks. One way to keep your table surfaces safe from condensation created by the forgotten drinks of the preoccupied gamesters is to use coasters. A perfect way to protect these surfaces is to create your own knit coasters.

This coaster design is perfect for beginning knitters. It is made entirely of basic knit and purl stitches in a rectangular shape and features a simple checkerboard pattern.

Worsted weight yarn and size US 8 (5.0mm) knitting needles are all you need in order to create an entire set of four coasters using this pattern. Each coaster uses approximately 24 yards (22 meters) to knit, making the entire four coaster set use just under 100 yards (92 meters). The yarn used for this collaborative project is from Camellia Fiber Company, you can find this color and more here.

This pattern is available on the Camellia Fiber Company website as a part of a mini skein kit.

The pattern itself can be purchased separately from my own website.
