Zigzag Crochet Pattern Free Crochet Coaster Pattern
The zigzag crochet pattern which creates the chevron style is one of those styles that never goes out of fashion. It’s easy to update by choosing different colours to make the pattern and create a completely different look.
Like many of my makes, I’ve chosen some bright pinks and purples, but this coaster would also look great worked up in shades of white and black to create a monochrome masterpiece.
This coaster pattern is perfectly matched to the Time for Me Teapot Cosy, that you can find by clicking here. Both patterns feature the zigzag crochet stitch but this crochet coaster pattern is worked in cotton so that it absorbs any drips of condensation whereas the teapot cosy is made in acrylic to repel any drips.
The zigzag / Chevron stitch can be worked so many different ways and as you can see from my other designs including the Bittersweet Margaret Skirt and the Breezy Cushion, the colours used make a big impact on how bold the pattern stands out.
