It's a Coaster!!

I don't often like to crochet, but for no known reason, I love this one pattern. I have made a couple dozen of these coasters. The people I have given them to may not appreciate them, but...

I told them they could also be hung on the Christmas tree - pretend they are snowflakes (Don't even START with that only six sides per snowflake. It's a homemeade ornament...)

If you want to hang them rather than use them to soak up icy condensation from your bev-of-choice, you might want to smear them with glue - good old white school glue, which is on sale right now at Kmart for 9 cents a bottle (20 cents ea at Wally World). Put some plastic wrap on the counter, wet the ornament or dilute the glue by about half water, smear glue on ornament, separate coaster from plastic, make sure glue is on the other side, blow on ornament to make sure the delicate holes aren't clogged with glue, let dry.
