Easy Sea Shell Crochet Coasters- Free Pattern Crochet Pattern

It’s still summer, and therefore beach season. Honestly though, I wasn’t thinking about the beach when I made these Easy Sea Shell Coasters. I just wanted to make something different.

These days, as I work from my computer, I tend to have a filled cup nearby, so I was looking for the very first coasters I made a while back but could not remember what I did with or where I kept them.

Thank God for the ‘super power’ of crocheting (have you seen that meme?), I decided to make new ones. So even though I wasn’t thinking about the beach when I got to making these, the summer heat must’ve subconsiously led me to create something from the water/sea. Even so, you can have fun with these Sea Shell Coasters when you go collecting sea shells with your young ones. Wait! have you seen this sea shell collector bag from Dream a Little Bigger? So cute!

This Sea Shell Coaster is worked in rows and in one piece. I particularly love how it fans out to create the clam sea shell shape. I hope you enjoy making these as I did.
