Quick round crochet coaster in cotton
This round coaster is a flat circle of three double crochet rounds finished with a single crochet round, worked in worsted cotton that absorbs drips and survives the wash. Each coaster takes about 15 minutes and 15 yards of yarn, finishing at 4.25 inches across, which fits standard mugs and glasses.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my coaster wavy?
Waves mean your double crochet is looser than the pattern gauge. Try a 4 mm hook, or work Round 4 with a 4 mm hook.
Can I make a set in different colours?
Yes. Change colour at the start of any round by fastening off and joining the new colour with a slip stitch.
