Tips

• To keep your rounds even, make sure to join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet of the round, not the starting chain.
• Use a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round to help keep track of your place, especially for beginners.
• Crochet a gauge swatch to ensure your finished coaster matches your desired size and fabric density.
