Hello everyone,
This crochet coaster is made with less than one skein of yarn, and it took less than a day to make. This project can be a nice, quick gift. I think coasters are one of the easiest, fastest gifts, and you can also add a single strand and then hang them on a wall, refrigerator, or Christmas tree. (Double sided is recommended for using them as free hanging Christmas tree ornaments.) I think this pattern with flowers turned out really cute. The written tutorial is seen below, and a detailed full video of this project’s construction is attached below.
