These are made in size 10 cotton crochet thread. The pattern is free! It includes the instructions for three different circles. You can make whichever ones you like! I made my coasters double thick, so there are two circles crocheted together around the edges. The nice thing about this method is that you can just tuck your ends inside instead of weaving them in!
