☀️ Basic Round Crochet Coaster Pattern

Step 1: Make a Magic Ring

• Start with a magic ring (or ch 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring).

• Chain 2 (counts as first double crochet).

Step 2: Round 1

• Work 11 double crochets into the ring (12 total including the chain 2).

• Slip stitch into the top of the starting chain to join. (12 sts)

Step 3: Round 2

• Chain 2, then do 2 double crochets in each stitch around.

• Slip stitch to join. (24 sts)

Step 4: Round 3

• Chain 2, 1 double crochet in the first stitch, 2 double crochets in the next – repeat around.

• Slip stitch to join. (36 sts)

Step 5: Optional Decorative Round

• Chain 1, single crochet in the next stitch, chain 2, skip 1 stitch – repeat for a lacy edge.

• Or, try a picot edge for a more elegant look: sc in next st, ch 3, sl st in first ch (picot made), skip 1 st – repeat.

Step 6: Finish

• Fasten off your yarn and weave in the ends with a tapestry needle.

• Block the coaster slightly if needed to flatten it out.
