Tips
- Use a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round to help keep track of your stitches, especially for beginners.
- For a stiffer coaster, you can use a smaller hook size or work with two strands of yarn held together.
- Always crochet a gauge swatch to ensure your coaster will be the intended size.
