Crocheting coasters is a fun and easy project that can be completed in just a few hours. Here's a general guide to help you get started:Materials needed:
- Worsted weight cotton yarn in your desired color
- Crochet hook (size H or 5mm)
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
- Make a slip knot: To begin, make a slip knot and chain four stitches.
- Join in the round: Insert your hook into the first chain stitch you made, yarn over and pull the yarn through both loops on the hook to create a slip stitch. This will join the chain into a loop.
- Crochet the base: Work a single crochet stitch into the loop, then continue working single crochet stitches into the loop until you have a total of 12 stitches.
- Work the second round: Chain 1 to begin the second round, then work two single crochet stitches into each stitch around. You should now have a total of 24 stitches.
- Work the third round: Chain 1 to begin the third round, then work one single crochet stitch into each stitch around.
- Continue working rounds: Repeat round 3 until your coaster is the desired size. Most coasters are between 4-6 inches in diameter.
- Fasten off: Once your coaster is the desired size, fasten off your yarn by cutting it leaving a long tail. Thread the tail through your tapestry needle and weave in the ends.
- Finishing touches: You can add any finishing touches you want, such as weaving in a contrasting color yarn through the stitches or adding decorative edging.
