Tutor’s Suggestions

• Use a stitch marker as you work in rounds to keep track of the round’s end, especially when crocheting in spiral.
• The doubled yarn creates a stronger, more absorbent coaster, ideal for protecting surfaces.
• For smaller or larger coasters, adjust the number of rounds accordingly, following the increase pattern.
• Experiment with different colors for the coaster base and leaves for seasonal or party themes.

---

Uses

• Protect surfaces from heat and moisture with charming décor.
• Perfect for coffee tables, desks, or gift giving.
• A great quick project for beginners or yarn scrap usage.

---

Tip

To maintain perfectly round coasters, avoid uneven tension and always stagger the increases evenly around the circle, especially in later rounds.
