      These are beautiful and I am going to try them soon! Just getting back into crochet this Summer, and teaching myself new things.
      Just curious if you could tell what brand of yarn this is, and where you find it at? Seems the bright cotton colors are hard to find, at least where I have looked so far!

      Susan, I get my bright colored Sugar 'n Cream cotton yarn at Walmart.
      I've also seen them at Hobby Lobby, the Peaches 'n Cream line.

    Earlier this summer I pulled out my bag of cotton yarn leftovers and had a ball making a stack of these with all the bright colors I love. This last week I picked out four to take to my Red Hat Society dinner for a door prize. I attached a tag that said, "Kitchen Lovelies ~ dishcloths, hot pads, whatever ~ " They were a hit! The gal who won it is our one Pink Hat Lady, in her early 20s. The last I thing I heard her say was something about wall decorations!
    Since I picked out my favorites to take, I now have to make some more...

    I have a question...should i join each round with a slip stitch? The pattern above says to join round 1 with a slip - do all the others join with a slip as well?

    hi Jeniffer, thankyou for sharing the pattern. I love the color so pretty. I think it's not problem if we do first with magic circle.

    Hi Jennifer, I have what is probably a silly question. I am very new to crochet and I have followed your pattern (love it by the way) but it doesn't lay flat. It curls up into what looks like a cone. What could I be doing wrong? Am I pulling too tightly? Any advice would be helpful! Thanks.

      Did you count the ch 2 at the beginning for the round or is it just a "connecting stitch? and on round 4 it says 2 dc in next stitch but does it mean the ch 1 space?

    These are beautiful! Lily Sugar 'n Cream makes all of the bright colors. Michaels had them on sale last week for 97 cents per ball, and they have them fairly regularly for 4/$5. Hobby Lobby has more colors, and you can take their weekly 40% off coupon found online at their website.

    Does the ch 2 at the beginning count as your first stitch?

    Jennifer, You asked that we only use these for personal and charity use. I am looking for dainty things like this to use as a fund-raiser to sponser a little girl in India. Do you mind if I use these patterns if I give your name and website as the designer? I really appreciate your skill. These are lovely. Do you mind emailing me your decision? Thank you.

    I love the coasters.

    Only thing I found disappointing about the pattern is that you don't seem to have it fully write out which could confuse some newer crocheters. But it is fast and easy to follow along to otherwise.
