One-Car-Ride Coaster Set |
These felted coasters couldn’t be easier. Cast on, knit, bind off , felt. That’s it! The fun part of this project is the
needle felting (designed by Ryan Anderson), which uses
up bits and pieces of leftover wool. The knitting part is “mindless,”
the decorating part is creative. The best of both worlds. |
MEASUREMENTS |
|
3" (7.5 cm) wide and 3.25" (8.5 cm) tall, felted (Note: Exact finished
measurements will be determined by the yarn and the point at
which you stop felting.) |
YARN |
|
JCA Reynolds Lopi, 100% Icelandic wool, 3.5 oz (100 g)/110 yd
(100 m) (Note: One skein will make two sets of five coasters.)
|
NEEDLES |
|
US 10 or 10.5 (6-6.5 mm) straight needles or size you need to obtain correct gauge |
GAUGE |
|
13-14 stitches = 4" (10 cm) in garter stitch |
OTHER SUPPLIES |

Knitting
Cast on 11 stitches. Work garter stitch for 20 rows. Bind off. Weave in ends. |
Felting
Place coasters in washing machine with hot water and heavy clothing such
as jeans to help with agitation. Check coasters every few minutes. When the
stitches are no longer visible, the coasters are done. Dry completely. |

yarn into position until it has adhered. (Felting kits come with instructions on
how to needle-felt.) |
