What Yarn Should I use?

I recommend a cotton yarn, if you can get it! Cotton yarn holds its shape beautifully, it's durable, and it's good with heat. If, however, you don't always have some cotton yarn to spare, any lightweight or DK yarn works beautifully. I'll often use some DK acrylic yarn as I always have some spare!

Just remember, the size yarn you use might change the overall size of your coaster! So if your yarn is particularly thin or thick, you might end up with a smaller or bigger coaster!

Materials:

• 4mm crochet hook

• a yarn of your choice

• scissors

• a darning needle

Stitch Abbreviations:

• sc: single crochet

• dc: double crochet

• sl st: slip stitch

Pattern Notes:

• This pattern is worked in US crochet terms, not UK. If you are unsure about the difference between these two terms, check out my blog post here where I explain it in detail.

• The chain 3 at the beginning of each round does count as a stitch.

• This coaster is made in rounds. Do not turn at the end of each round.
