These lovely coasters by Dedri Uys were created as a continuation of the Ubuntu Hexagon Blanket. The finished coasters are 4″ (10 cm) and will be a decorative element just right for a cup of tea or coffee with a friend.
What Makes Six Degrees of Separation Coasters Special?
Six Degrees of Separation Coasters are based on the scientific theory that all people are six, or fewer, social connections away from one another. Using this pattern, you can connect any two panels by a maximum of six steps using a “friend of a friend” chain.
What Skill Level Should I Have To Complete This Project?
The Six Degrees of Separation Coasters pattern is not for total beginners, as it requires a relatively good understanding of crochet techniques. If you know how to work post stitches and decreases, then you’re going to enjoy this project.
Can I Use Cotton Yarn for These Coasters?
Yes, and it’s actually highly recommended! The original design uses Scheepjes Stonewashed, a cotton-acrylic blend (78% cotton, 22% acrylic) that’s soft and durable. To make these crochet coasters, you will use about 10g per coaster, so this is a great project to use up all those small balls left in your stash.
Cotton yarn is the best choice for making kitchen items because it absorbs water well and keeps its shape at all times.
