Another try

Fall still has some beautiful days left! It’s nice to sit in the garden or on the patio with a cool drink and enjoy the last warm rays of sunshine. If only it weren’t for those pesky wasps!

These fruity coasters are the perfect solution! They work wonderfully as glass covers. The hole in the middle is just the right size for a straw, so the wasps don’t stand a chance.
The coasters are super easy to crochet; you just need a few scraps of cotton yarn in the corresponding colors:
- for kiwi: light green, medium green, black, and brown
- for lemon: yellow, light yellow, white
- for orange: orange, light orange, and white
- for melon: pink, white, dark green, black
- for apple: vanilla yellow, red (or green), and dark brown
