Simple White Crochet Coaster
Materials:
- Yarn: Cotton yarn, worsted weight (approximately 50 grams or 1.75 ounces)
- Hook: Size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Gauge: To check your gauge, crochet a small square (4" x 4") using the recommended hook and yarn. If your square does not match this measurement, adjust your hook size. For this coaster, precise gauge is not critical.
Abbreviations:
- ch: chain
- sc: single crochet
- dc: double crochet
- sl st: slip stitch
Instructions:
Round 1: Begin with a slip knot. Make a magic ring (or ch 4 and join to form a ring). Inside the ring, crochet 12 dc. Join with a sl st to the top of the first dc. (12 stitches total)
Round 2: Ch 3 (counts as first dc). In the same stitch, crochet 2 dc. In each of the next stitches, crochet 2 dc until the end of the round. Join with a sl st to the top of the first dc. (24 stitches total)
Round 3: Ch 3. In the same stitch, crochet 2 dc. *In the next stitch, crochet 1 dc, then 2 dc in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the first dc. (36 stitches total)
Round 4: Ch 1. In the same stitch, crochet 1 sc. In the next 11 stitches, crochet 1 sc in each (12 stitches). Then, make a picot (ch 3, sl st in the first ch). Repeat this sequence of 12 sc followed by a picot around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (3 picots total)
Final Touches: Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for weaving in. Pull the yarn through the last loop to secure it. Using a tapestry needle, weave in the ends thoroughly to ensure they are secured.
Optional Variations: You can create larger coasters by adding extra rounds. Experiment with different colors to match your decor!
Finishing Tips: To finish your coaster, you may choose to block it by gently spraying it with water and laying it flat to dry, shaping it into a perfect circle.
