by To create a very useful and beautiful crochet motif coaster, you can follow these general steps. These coasters are typically small, decorative, and functional pieces that protect surfaces from heat or moisture, and they often feature pretty motifs like flowers or geometric designs.
🧶 What You Need:
- Yarn: Cotton yarn is best for coasters due to its absorbency and heat resistance.
- Hook: Use the recommended size on the yarn label (often 3.5mm–5mm for cotton).
- Scissors
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
