It's Memorial Day Weekend, so I decided to repost these patriotic coasters I made a couple years ago. They were fun and quick to make, and they're perfect for patriotic holidays and all summer long!

I really enjoy creating patriotic crafts, and I've created several patriotic outfits for my daughter. Last summer was my daughters last summer wearing the Patriotic Patchwork Dress I made for her when she was two because she has finally outgrown it, so she needed something new in red, white, and blue!

I've been needing to make some coasters to use in my craft room and in my bedroom. I bought new nightstands a few months ago, and I haven't been using a coaster when I put my cold bottles of sparkling water on my nightstand at night. Shame on me! So I was finally motivated by the #crochet365 challenge on Instagram to create a set of crochet coasters. Since the challenge for today was to create something with stars, I decided to make patriotic coasters with stars in the middle.

Since Independence Day is next week, I decided to make a scarf using bandanas featuring red and blue stripes with white stars. I considered making each crochet portion of the scarf a different color (red, white, and blue), but I decided against that and only used white yarn.  I think the white yarn makes the scarf pop!  I know the patriotic holidays (Memorial Day & 4th of July) occur during the hot, summer months, BUT in some areas (like Washington state), the summers aren't that hot, and a scarf might come in handy while watching the fireworks on a cool summer evening.
