Fizzy Drinks are the best, most dependable coasters I own because they are made of felted wool. They’re thick, thirsty, and don't cling to my glass. Knit in garter stitch, they absorb condensation perfectly without being damaged. And since they’re already felted, if I spill something on them, it doesn’t matter – I just throw them back in the wash!
This pattern is a fun, quick knit, and great for gift-giving. The colorwork pattern uses the mosaic technique, in which only one color is worked per row. This is a great first mosaic pattern, and I include some tips on working mosaic and felting your project in the pattern notes.
The pattern is knit in 2 or more colors of Morehouse Farm’s 3-Strand Worsted Merino, or another non-superwash 100% wool worsted weight yarn. The pattern includes options for using two, five, or ten colors, which makes it a great stashbuster to use up leftovers. Each pattern square makes four coasters, or it can be left whole to make a trivet. Why not make a set for someone special, and one for yourself?
You are purchasing a knitting pattern.
Yarn: 2 or more skeins of Morehouse Farm 3-Strand Worsted 100% Merino Yarn (145 yards per 2 oz skein) or other worsted weight non-superwash wool such as Cascade 220, Malabrigo Worsted, KnitPicks Wool of the Andes Worsted, or Noro Kureyon.
2-color version: approx. 75 yards for Main Color and 85 yards of Contrast Color.
4-color version: 75 yards for Main Color and approximately 30-35 yards of each of 3 Contrasting Colors
10-color version: 75 yards for Main Color and approximately 10-13 yards of each of 9 Contrasting Colors
For best effect, each of your Contrast Color yarns should noticeably contrast with your Main Color.
Gauge: 15 sts/36 rows in pattern stitch, unblocked. Exact gauge is not critical because this item will be felted. Please note that this pattern is purposefully knit on needles a bit larger than usual for the yarn.
