The Grid Lines Coaster from THE MODERN COLLECTION

Crisp lines for a fresh look.

A little about grid stripes:

Whether you’re used to seeing grid lines in a spreadsheet, set of blueprints, or even in historical art, ‘the grid’ is no new concept to society. Recently the design has been popping up in interior design and decor as well, adorning wallpaper, bedspreads and linens, drapes, and even tableware. Calling grid lines ‘minimalistic and clean’ can be seen as true, however it’s fascinating how complex and grounding grids can be as well.

This simple yet timeless design can suit most households, pairing with many colors and patterns that already exist in the home. It pairs with stripes, solids, or other accent patterns in your home textiles.

About the pattern:

To provide a bit of timelessness into your home, we want to bring forth our knitted version of the grid. This coaster features the grid lines throughout the entire front, allowing for a continuous and balanced look over the project. The coaster measures 4.25” x 4.5 “ / 10.8 cm x 11.5 cm, allowing enough of a surface for most cups.

Adding a little color contrast and definition, we have inserted a contrasting i-cord bind off around the perimeter. This design is tailored for a modern and clean look, allowing a smooth edge to tie the project together and provide a nice ‘stop’ for the edge of your glass or mug.
