Tips

• Use a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round to help keep track of your stitches.
• Pull your magic ring tight after the first round to close the center hole.
• Cotton yarn is recommended for coasters as it is absorbent and heat resistant.
• Don't forget to crochet a gauge swatch to ensure your finished coaster is the desired size.
