This beautiful lacy coaster is made with crochet thread. There is not exact gauge to obtain. You want a coaster that will fit a drinking glass with the points showing.

These coasters work up quickly and make lovely gifts. You can make them in varying colors to suit decor or holiday themes.

I used a size 2 steel crochet hook but you may use a different size. Whatever size is necessary for you to have a finished coaster that supports your drinking glasses and displays lace around the edges.
