Fiesta Coasters: Colorful Mini Squares

This week, we're celebrating the vibrant spirit of spring and the upcoming Cinco de Mayo with a set of festive coasters! Crochet 4-6 small granny squares or simple geometric designs in bright, bold colors—think hot pink, lime green, sunny yellow, and deep blues. These tiny projects are perfect for using up yarn scraps and work up quickly, making them ideal for a week-long challenge even with just a few hours of daily crochet time. What makes this challenge special is the room to customize. Stick with classic granny squares for a traditional approach, or experiment with different stitches, color blocking, or even add small embellishments like tassels or pom-poms. Each coaster is a mini canvas for your creativity. Plus, finished coasters are incredibly photogenic when styled together—stack them, arrange them in a rainbow gradient, or photograph them in use at your favorite beverage station. These make wonderful gifts for Cinco de Mayo celebrations or as a cheerful spring decor set for your own home. By Sunday, you'll have a complete, practical set that brightens any table and celebrates the playful energy of the season.
