Crocheters usually make this coaster using basic stitches like chain (ch), single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc), and slip stitch (sl st), making them beginner-friendly and quick to complete.
Working in rounds or simple square shapes allows you to easily customize size, colors, and patterns. Cotton yarn is recommended for its absorbency, durability, and easy care, keeping your coasters functional and attractive for years.

The instructor suggests these make excellent gifts because everyone needs coasters. While acrylic yarn is soft, experts recommend using cotton yarn if you want the coaster to hold its shape more firmly over time.
Conclusion
Making these coasters is a relaxing way to practice basic stitching. Because they are fast to finish and use very little material, you can easily make a matching set in different colors for your own table or as a thoughtful gift for others.
Pro Tip: Weave the yarn tail back and forth through the stitches at least two or three times. This ensures the end will not come loose, even if the coaster is used or washed frequently.
