Tunisian Heart Coaster

Design by Miroslava Mihalkova from Exquisite Crochet UK.

The Heartwarming Coaster is a wonderful first Tunisian crochet project that you can complete in an hour or less! This makes it perfect for last minute gift or a quick gift for busy givers! Even though this is a quick project, it is far from boring! You will learn intarsia as well as stranded colourwork all at once! This project is a little more advanced than the Lovely Heart Coaster and makes a great complimentary addition to it.
