Nautical Hotpads & Coasters

[yarn_monkey]

Sister and I were at AC Moore a few weeks ago and we saw this cotton that just spoke to us! Sister's kitchen and living room have a nautical theme (seriously, she's obsessed) and we thought they were perfect! So the initial plan was a single hotpad/potholder, but I had a lot of cotton leftover... So there was another potholder, and then 3 coasters before I finally used it all up. 

 

Here they are! 

 

I used Premier Cotton in Navy, Red, and a red/white/blue mix.

Round is the Blooming Pot Holder pattern from the book Crochet At Home

Rectangle I just made up, but the anchor is from here

ETA... Just realized the colors came out awful in those pictures... Without the flash they were horrible and clearly with the flash didn't change much! Lol

They look great and I can visualize them.  Love the anchor.

I think they're really pretty. I like the nautical theme.

Thanks all! I can't wait to surprise her with the extras. She knows they're coming but hasn't seen them yet.
