Materials:
- Lily Sugar’n Cream Cotton Yarn. The colors I used are strawberry, hot pink, tangerine, and white.
- US size H 5.0 mm crochet hook
- Stitch marker
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
Size (approximate): 4.25″
Pattern Notes:
- We’ll be working in continuous rounds. Do not join at the end of your rounds.
- Because this is a coaster, I like to use cotton yarn. Cotton yarn is durable and great for absorbing liquid. You can also use worsted weight acrylic yarn.
- If you find that your coasters aren’t laying flat, you can steam them with a steam iron (do not place the iron directly on the coasters) or use a clothing steamer to help them lay flat. I personally don’t bother with this, as the coasters flatten pretty quickly with use.
