It creates a plumper, textured and visually pleasing pattern with the perfectly aligned vertical and horizontal lines. Make a pair for yourself, housewarming gifts or 50 pairs to sell at markets or in your shops.
This mug rug coasters works up super fast and does not require any special tunisian crochet hook! Yep you can make it with the crochet hooks you already own.
You can omit or keep the fringe at each end. Choice is all yours!
