Introduction

Welcome to my crochet tutorial on how to make a beautiful crochet coaster circle. In this tutorial, I will guide you through each step of creating this coaster using a mix of cotton and acrylic wool yarn. You will also need a 3mm crochet hook and a darning needle to weave in the ends. So let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's make sure you have all the necessary materials. Here's what you'll need:

• Cotton and acrylic wool yarn
• 3mm crochet hook
• Darning needle

Magic Loop

To start creating the center of the coaster circle, we will use a magic loop. If you're not familiar with this technique, I have a separate video on my YouTube channel titled "How to Create a Magic Loop" that you can refer to. Once you have your magic loop ready, chain 2 to add three chains in total.

Round 1: Creating the Center

In round 1, we will work a total of 18 double crochets into the magic loop. Each double crochet will count as one chain. So make sure to follow along as I demonstrate a few double crochets. Once you've completed the 18 double crochets, pull on the yarn to tighten the center, and slip stitch into the top of the third chain from the first chain three.

Round 2: Adding the Chain Spaces

For round 2, we will chain 3 to start. This chain will serve as the first double crochet. Then, we will chain 1 as a chain space between the double crochets. Work one double crochet into each chain space, followed by a chain 1. Repeat this pattern around until you have a total of 18 double crochets in round 2.

Round 3: Working in the Chain Spaces

In round 3, we will continue working in the chain spaces. Again, we will start by chaining 3, which will count as the first double crochet. Then, in each chain space, work two double crochets with a chain 1 in between. Repeat this pattern all the way around until you have a total of 27 double crochets in round 3.

Round 4: Double Crocheting in Every Chain Space

Round 4 is simple and straightforward. We will double crochet two times into every chain space from round 3. This will increase the number of double crochets to 54 in round 4. Follow along as I demonstrate a few double crochets, then continue until you reach the end of the round.

Round 5: Finishing the Coaster

In the final round, we will create a decorative edge by following a pattern of chain 2, chain 1, and double crochet in each chain space from round 4. Start by slip stitching into a chain space, then chain 3. Work one double crochet into the same chain space, followed by a chain 1. Move on to the next chain space and repeat this pattern until you reach the end of the round.

Weaving the Ends

Once you have completed all the rounds and the coaster is the desired size, it's time to weave in the ends. Cut the yarn, leaving a small tail. Use a darning needle to weave the tail through the stitches at the back of the coaster. Repeat this process for all the loose ends.
