Assembly / Finishing

Fasten off and weave in all ends securely using a yarn needle. Lightly block your coaster to open up the lace pattern and give it a crisp, finished look.

Tips

• Use a stitch marker to keep track of the first stitch of each round, especially if you tend to lose count.
• To block your coaster, gently wet it, reshape it to your desired size and symmetry, and pin it flat until dry.
• The finished size will vary depending on your yarn, hook, and tension. Always crochet a gauge swatch.
