Lorraine's Hand-Crocheted Critter Coasters (Set of 4)
Lorraine Whitfield, 76
Lorraine learned to crochet as a girl, working her first rounds out of leftover cotton on her grandmother’s back step. Somewhere along the way the rounds turned into animals — a frog, a turtle, a possum that looks like it has had a very long day — and those critters ended up under half the coffee cups in town. Fifty-four years and more of them than she can count later, arthritis is finally telling her hands it’s time. This is her final run, made the only way she has ever made them: one at a time, by hand, in Woodstock, New York.
Green, tongue poking out
Blue flippers, happy face
Grey, X-stitch eyes, flat out

Cream, big googly eyes
- Real handcraft — not fast fashion, not factory-knit, not a printed circle of acrylic
- Worked in the round — a true spiral that lies flat and holds its shape under a cup
- 100% cotton — actually absorbs condensation, rinses clean, softens with washing
- Hand-set faces — eyes and legs placed by hand; no two critters are identical
- A genuine set of four — four different characters, each one crocheted and finished by hand
- Truly limited — only the coasters from her last working seasons remain; no restock once she retires the hook

Message from the sunporch:
After fifty-four years crocheting granny squares on her sunporch in Woodstock, New York, the arthritis in Lorraine Whitfield’s hands has reached the tight center rounds — the flower at the heart of each square, the part she can’t fake and can’t skip. Only the sets from her last good winters remain, a counted number in the baskets on her porch. When they are gone, there is no next batch.

What Lorraine’s customers are saying
This is the first coaster set that actually soaks up the drips — thick cotton, soft, none of that thin cork that warps. The frog goes with every mug I own, and you can tell a real person made it by hand.

My table gets wet rings from everything, so coasters that slide around drove me nuts. These grip the mug and lie flat without curling at the edges. Obsessed with the squashed little face.

I bought a set for myself and ended up gifting two. The craftsmanship is something you just don't find anymore — and knowing one woman hand-crochets them makes it feel special. The turtle is my everyday.

The set comes with four critters, so the whole family picked a favorite. They flatten out under a hot mug and my son laughs every single time. Best money I've spent on something this silly but cute.

Wore it every day at the beach — sand, salt, sun — and it didn’t stretch out or pill once. Shook the sand right out of the weave. The colors are even prettier in person.

It’s become the thing I grab before I leave the house. Pulls an outfit together in two seconds and I get compliments every single time. Already eyeing a set as a gift.
