Crochet Drink Coaster Pattern & Tutorial - Easy Sunshine Motif

[@EdieEdgmon-tc9vb]

Love these!!! I’d like to make my coworkers one of these; we don’t have access to windows so this would be a cute bit of “sunshine “ for their desk.

[@JaydaInStitches]

That's a lovely idea Edie! Thank you for watching 😊

[@mspollynicole1]

You are cheerful and kind. Thank you. I think I'll make some sets of these and pass them around. They are cute and useful.

[@klutsyfolder]

Thanks Jayda, I really enjoy making these little bits of sunshine !

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for watching Kristina!

[@kaileelivvy]

I love the way you explain things! Desperate for more of your tutorials to come out! Very interested in what numbers would come after the 1.1.2. With your final ring. Was looking to make bigger but with being so new to crochet, unsure on what would come next! Your tutorials are the only thing that has helped me and I’ve searched far and wide for help! 🤍

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Kailee, thank you for watching! The ever increasing circle uses a basic, incremental math Formula. So row 4 would be 2, 1, 1, 1 and row 5 would be 2, 1, 1, 1, 1 etc. 😊

[@klutsyfolder]

Thanks Jay , these were fun to make. I made a set for a friend and put a happy face on one of them, and she loved it !

[@JaydaInStitches]

How cheerful! Thank you for watching Kristina :)

It will have to be green for now!! We are yarn shopping Saturday with 40% off coupons!!! Happy!! Happy! Thanks for all your hard work to educate us on the art of crochet!!😀😀‼️

[@triciaryan7833]

[@BlessedlyMom77]

I look forward watching your videos! I think I'll make this as a hanging bunting in my kids room ☀️

[@JaydaInStitches]

[@sarahyoung3033]

Love this! Its the only bit of sunshine I'm getting in England today! So making a few!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Sarah! I'll trade you our sun for some of your rain...please!! My poor garden is so thirsty!

[@sarahyoung3033]

+Jayda InStitches Its been raining for three days. Normally I like the odd day of rain, but its so humid. Prefer cold rain!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Ahhh humidity! Sometimes it feels like someone just inverted a swamp on us :p

[@sarahyoung3033]

+Jayda InStitches Haha!!!! I agree! My hair looks awful in the humidity :( goes too frizzy. Your scrunchie vid came in handy for that!

[@lisal9633]

Love this, i used it as an appliqué for the quiet fun book i am crocheting for my grandaughter😀

[@JaydaInStitches]

How sweet! Thank you for watching Lisa :)

[@vajee5]

Thanks, Jayda! I’m going to bring a set of these to friends and family when I visit this summer!

Ty. Very nice! Will try to o do this and give it as a birthday gift.😊.

[@Emily-ji2xw]

This is such a cute crochet DIY, perfect for summer! =D

[@robinhawk1288]

More practice in not turning HDC into double crochet. Here are my three pleasant surprises: 1. My stitches were even-sized on every row-- and yes, even in the cinch circle (first time I think); 2. My third row had the right number of stitches! 3. There were 13 sun points evenly spaced at the end! Party time! I'm learning crochet! Yes!!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

All Right Robin!! That's great :D

[@yvonnekeijzer2382]

I have already made them in light blue Thanks Jayda

[@JaydaInStitches]

Fabulous! (love that colour!)

[@mendesnadi]

Thanks for this sunshine! :)

[@thatsweetdemon3187]

love this pattern so much 😄

[@coreygraham5485]

Really enjoy the way you explain everything in great detail. Helps for a beginner like myself. By the fields it looks like you might be enjoying the hot Alberta weather like myself?

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hot Ontario weather! SO hot! And humid! Looking forward to fall! :)

[@Elainelovejoy]

But aside from this one place, I follow you very well. You do a real good job explaining these tutorials, thx so very much! I got my little Sunshine made and it is so cute!

[@carolyntannet8022]

Very cute!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you! 😊

[@PeregrinMorningStar]

I tried making some coasters on my own but could never get them quite right. This is perfect! Thanks for sharing!

[@CarlitaToTheMoon]

It's so cute and easy to follow guide! I did the HDCs and observed the numbering but I got a reeeeeaaaaally small sun coaster 😅 it looked like a shotglass coaster ngl! I hope you can enlighten me on this one! Thank you and you are a gem to newbie crocheters like meee!❤

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! It sounds like you might have been using a lighter weight yarn than I or possibly a smaller hook. If these were both the same, then you might have tighter tension. You can use a heavier weight yarn or 2 strands held together and/or you can use a larger hook. Both of these will make it larger and also help if you have tight tension 😊 Thank you for watching! 🎄

[@vpodbielski1]

OMG how cute and easy are these. Can't wait to make these. Thank you Jayda❤️🌞

[@yarnworksbylydianannen3396]

I have a question for you can I used acrylic yarn I don't have cotton yarn right now

[@JaydaInStitches]

HI Lydia, you can use acrylic yarn for these and turn them into appliques, but if you use them as coasters, the stitches will flatten and look sort of dull - especially if you're sitting hot or wet things on them. That's why we recommend cotton for this project :)

[@eliznobel1950]

Thankyou so much..

[@juliecousins2398]

Do you have a video on how to do the c2c afghan? Would love to see one from you :)

[@valeriecollins1649]

Hi Jayda! Love this pattern! Do you have it written up anywhere?

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Valerie, thank you for watching! We haven't got this one written up (yet), I'll have to add it to my list :)

[@mspollynicole1]

lol. I don't know what I did,but mine turned out with 20 spikes. still cute. I'll have to do it again.

[@JaydaInStitches]

*giggle* I bet you just forgot to 'skip' a few stitches here and there while you were putting in your sun points :) Personally, I don't think sunshine could ever have too many rays!

[@mspollynicole1]

+Jayda InStitches ..Cute. I made another one, with 13 spikes. I did forget to skip in the 1st one. Thank You. Happily hooked.

[@ronii1975]

Hi Jayda, I have made the sunshine coasters, but when I start making the points I only get twelve, am I doing something wrong?

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Roni, we used the 'false" st in this project to close in the circle and that's how we ended up with 13, BUT, as long as your set of coasters match, it's all good!

[@ronii1975]

Jayda InStitches thanks Jayda

[@joycenyamekye9119]

Who is watching this in 2020 🙌

[@Elainelovejoy]

When you show you are putting a stitch in the same one the chain 2 is in, then the one next to it looks like a nice "v", but on my work it looks like it is kinda broken, like the point of the "v" isn't completely pointed, so it makes it look like I am supposed to go to the next one because it is a perfect "v", so I'm getting my count off. How can I tell which one you mean?

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Elaine, the important thing with this pattern is to have the right stitch count at the end of each row. If you're getting thrown off (either you don't have enough, of your have too many) then you need to pick a stitch to either add extra sts too (in order to bring up your stitch count) or pick on that you're going to skip (in order to bring down your stitch count). I hope that helps!

[@Elainelovejoy]

Thanks Jayda!

[@jessicarabbit1164]

I was (am) going to whip one of these up using the leftovers from making my Falling Leaves dishcloth that I made during the live today and realized that you do not have a written pattern for this! How do you not have a written pattern for this?! Oversight! I demand that you take immediate action!! 😜

[@JaydaInStitches]

Ohhoo! But we do 😁 This one is a free Member's pattern on the Member's Webpage for Silk & Vicuna 💗💗💗

[@maryurena4905]

Nice

[@andrewball5512]

I still don't know how u get 26 in round 2 cause I have made them a few times now and still only get 24 in round 2.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Andrew, we use the "false" stitch which gives us one more stitch to use than the base count of 12 from Row 1 :)

[@andrewball5512]

@@JaydaInStitches I even used that and still got 24 so I made another and did 13 in round one still worked out fine 😊

can you make a pattern that looks like corn

[@MuricaTurkey]

Could I string these together to create a decorative sort of bunting thing? Seems like that could work, but I want to ask an expert before I dive in and mess that up lol ;-)

[@JaydaInStitches]

Totally! I would connect the string at the top 2 points of each Sun, that way they'll hang "flat" :)
