These fun little coasters are a super quick knit for a wee Christmas or Hanukkah gift. In red and green the motif is an abstract Christmas tree, and in shades of blue and white it represents a menorah. The coasters are knit with the mosaic knitting technique which uses only one color of yarn per row, with slipped stitches creating a pattern. The resulting back side of the coasters looks very neat and tidy, with no long floats. The red and green coasters are knit using an aran weight yarn and a sock weight yarn doubled. The blue coasters use two dk weight yarns. Weighing your yarn before starting is always recommended when you have limited amounts of yarn.
