It's CROCHET MAGIC... MAGIC 7

crochet patterns, how to crochet, coasters, home decore

MAGIC COASTER CROCHET

Here is my super special MAGIC coaster, you may ask why is it magic?  Well, because it is based on multiples of seven (7). Yes that's right a crochet coaster with not six (6) and not eight (8) but seven (7) multiples.


I tried real hard to fit it into 6 or 8 multiples, but it kept insisting on being a SEVENSo, I gave in and stayed with it,  forced myself to add some colours and was amazed at the outcome. Hope you like it too?

This is a great little coaster which would suit any celebration, CHRISTMAS, NEW YEAR, EASTER and SPECIAL OCCASIONS. 

You can change the mood by changing the colours, and end up with an amazing variety of coasters created from one crochet pattern.



MAGIC Coasters could just be the perfect gift for giving, maybe this Christmas?

QUICK and EASY crochet coasters for your celebrations - make your coasters with one, two, or three colours to bring out a variety of patterns within the one coaster.

POINT OF INTEREST:   

Did you know in the human brain, seven is a magic number?

Countless psychological experiments have shown that, on average, the longest sequence a normal person can recall on the fly contains about seven items. This limit, which psychologists dubbed the "magical number seven" when they discovered it in the 1950s, is the typical capacity of what's called the brain's working memory.

SEASIDE Coasters

free crochet patterns, how to crochet, coasters,

Cheerful seaside colours!

The colour of the water -  deep blue, sea green, turquoise -  greens and blues the world over.


free crochet patterns, how to crochet, coasters,


Seaside colours are my inspiration for these crochet coasters and matching doily placemat. What was that saying? Blue and green, never to be seen.  However, in today's fashion world it seems these colours are everywhere. I really love the finished look of these blue and green colour combinations they go well together.

Just take a look around at nature, the colour combinations are absolutely inspiring!


free crochet patterns, how to crochet, coasters,


Look at a peacock, their feathers are magnificent in hues of blue and green, absolutely fabulous! OK so there are other colours between the blue and green but hey they do work well together.
