Finishing: Weave in all ends using the yarn needle. For a polished finish, you may block your coasters by wetting them and pinning them to shape, allowing them to dry completely. This will help them lay flat and look more professional.
Optional Variation: Experiment with different colors or add a simple border by working a round of SC around the outer edge.
