Coffee Cup Coster

I found this through http://www.allfreecrochet.com/Crochet-Coasters/Crazy-Cute-Coffee-Coasters and followed the link to http://www.repeatcrafterme.com/2015/07/starbucks-core-coffee-series-and.html

I thought these coffee cup coasters would be cute to make especially since I think I have some brown yarn in a stash that someone gave me.
