Cosy crochet coasters for absolute beginners

These super simple crochet coasters work up really quickly and are a perfect beginner project for anyone who wants to dive into the wonderful world of crochet! In today's tutorial we're going to cover how to create a magic ring, do a double crochet, an increase, join rounds and for a little fun detail at the end, we'll create a cute scalloped edge for our coasters! I'll also show you how to block your coasters so they sit flat and give you some tips and tricks on how to block other materials. ~~ MATERIALS ~~~~ We're using a 3.00 mm crochet hook and DK weight mercerised cotton!
