X and O Coasters – PDF Weaving Pattern

$8.00

I originally made these handwoven coasters as a gift for some close friends — every meal we share is marked by a small collection of (usually handmade) gifts at the table. One recipient requested a complete set of these coasters, which reminded her of traditional Nordic and Scandinavian sweater motifs.

Quick and easy to make, this project is an ideal last-minute gift. With very little yardage in warp and weft and hemstitched on the loom, they come off ready to gift. The weft, beautiful Léttlopi yarn from Iceland, comes in a wide range of colours that gives you plenty of personalization options.
