Music Note Tapestry Crochet Coaster

Well, hello. I’m back. Finally emerged from the chaos of the Christmas season. I know I promised more Christmas patterns. It just didn’t happen. I’m really, truly, sincerely sorry. So I bring you this peace offering, humbly begging for forgiveness: the Music Note Tapestry Crochet Coaster.

I love music. Always have. I grew up singing and playing the violin. I tried piano for a while, but for whatever reason, it just didn’t agree with me. Maybe someday I’ll give it another shot. But in any case, that’s not really the reason I designed this.

This is what really happened.

You see, one of my wonderful brothers is going through a phase. A lame pun phase. Torturous, I know. Every day, first thing in the morning, I’ll be making coffee or something, when I hear a mischievous snicker coming from behind me. Then I know what’s coming. He’s back. With another one of his cringey monstrosities.

“Hey, Hannah! When is a door not a door? When it’s ajar! Get it?! A JAR!!! HAHAHAHA!!”

Ugh.

For Christmas, my parents even got him a book called “The Good, the Dad, and the Punny”. I will never understand the motives behind that… and here’s the thing: they’re DAD jokes!! He’s not even a dad yet!!! There should really be a law against this kind of buffoonery.

So anyway, his puns creep into his hobbies too, like woodworking (he’s really good at that!). He was making a plaque for our church organist that said, “without music, life would B flat”. All you music nerds know what I’m talking about. “Be flat”, but it’s B flat, the note. Hahaha. Hysterical.

And that’s when it hit me. Never in all my born days have I crocheted a music themed project. So I went and did it. Minus the lame puns, of course.

Music Note Tapestry Crochet Coaster Pattern:

Materials:

-Caron Simply Soft (or any other worsted weight yarn) in Off White and Black

-Size E (3.5 mm) crochet hook

-scissors and yarn needle

Stitches Used/Abbreviations:

ch – chain

sc – single crochet

W – white

B – black

Gauge: 18 sc x 18 rows = 4″ x 4″

Finished Size: 4.5″ in height x 4.2″ in width

Pattern Notes:

-This pattern is made using the tapestry crochet technique.

-Black border is not on the color chart, because it is added at the very end.

-In the written instructions, for each row you will have a capital letter standing for the color of the yarn, and the number after it will be how many sc stitches you will work in that color. For example: W8, B4, W6 means you will work 8 stitches in white, 4 in black, and then 8 in white.

-I know it doesn’t specify, but all stitches are single crochet. For anything with a capital letter and a number, assume it means that number of single crochets.

-I only have the written instructions included with the free pattern, but I will have the printable pdf with a color chart included coming soon to Ravelry!
