Crochet kit for beginnerscoaster with hearts.
What are the suitable yarns for coasters:
Cotton yarns are most suitable. They can withstand more temperature ranges than wool, acrylic or silk yarns. With high temperatures, silk or acrylic yarns may tend to melt. Further, they are not slippery and more stable than others which are made out of wool, acrylic or silk yarns. But, if stains are made on them not easy to remove. It is easier in coasters made out of acrylic yarn. But cotton coasters take time to dry.
The thickness (not the roughness) of the yarn has to be considered because the thickness of the coaster depends on the thickness of the yarn. If it is not much thick it may not prevent making stains on the polished surfaces of tables. But the yarn should be smooth, if it is rough the surface may not be even and the stability of the holding object may get disturbed.
When you make coasters you can make sets of 6 or 12 with the same colour and same pattern. If you want you can sell your finished products and can earn money from them.
You can sell any product you create thrice of the money you spent plus 3% of it.
Needed things: bamboo cotton yarn, 3 mm hook,
Before starting the work learn how to do 3 incomplete double crochets and 4 incomplete double crochets.
These 4 incomplete double crochet stitches are flat and broad stitches and have pointed ends. So, they look like flower petals.
3 incomplete double crochets (incomp. dcs):
Yarn over (yo) insert the hook and pull up the yarn and release two loops. Again yo insert the hook to the same place and pull up the yarn and release two loops. Again yo insert the hook to the same place and pull up the yarn and release two loops. Now there should be 4 loops on the hook. Release all the loops at once. Inserting three times means 3 incomplete dcs.
4 incomplete dcs: If you insert 4 times and do the same procedure above it will be 4 incomplete dcs. Here, there should be 5 loops on the hook to be released at the end.
Now the coaster,
Make a magic circle or ring.
 |
| magic cirle |
Round 1. Then make 3 ch and 7 dcs into that magic circle. There should be 8 dcs including the beginning 3 chs.
 |
Now tighten the ring.
 |
| Tightened magic circle with 3 ch + 7 dc. |
Round 2: Make 3 ch and 3 incomplete dcs onto the 1st dc below. Then make 3 ch and 4 incomplete dcs into the next dc. ("3ch , 4 incomplete dcs") Repeat from " to" until you finish the round.
Then make 3ch and join with a slip stitch to the 3rd ch of the beginning 3 chs.
 |
| 2nd row |
Round 3: Join to the top of the 3 dc tog with a slip stitch and again to the space of 3 ch by making a slip stitch.
 |
| Round 3 halfway |
Then make 3 ch and 3 incomplete dcs into the ch 3 gap. Make two chains and again 4 incomplete dcs into the same gap. Then chain 3 and 4 incomplete dcs to the next ch 3 gap. 2ch and 4 incomplete dcs to the same space.
("3ch 4 incomplete dc, 2ch, 4 incomplete dc to the same space. 3 ch 4 incomplete dc to the next ch 3 space 2ch, 4 incomplete dc" )repeat from " to"
 |
| Round 3 |
After finishing the round make 3 ch and join to the 3rd chain of the beginning 3 chain.
Now change the colour.
Round 4:
Join another colour yarn into any ch 2 space. Then make 3 ch and 4 dcs into the same space . Make 2 ch and join to the next ch 3 space with a single crochet. Again 2 ch and 5 dc s into the space of 2ch.
( "5dc, 2ch, sc to the ch 3 space, 2ch") Repeat from "to "
Join to the 3rd ch of the beginning 3 chs of the 4th round with a slip stitch.
 |
| Round 4 |
Round 5: Make 3 ch and make 2 dcs to the 1st dc below. Then 3dcs to each of the 3 dcs below and to the last one 2dcs. Altogether there should be 7 dcs. Then make 2 ch and repeat the process until you come to the end of the row.
Repeat from " to" : "2ch, 2dc to the same stitch, 3dc, 2dc to the same stitch "
At the end join to the 3rd ch of the beginning 3 chs
 |
| Round 5 |
Round 6: Make 3 ch and make 2dc to the 1st dc below then 5dc to each of the 5 dc below. Make 2dc to the last dc bellow. Altogether there should be 9 dcs.
"2ch, 2dc to the same stitch, 5dc, 2dc to the same stitch "
Repeat from " to"
 |
| Round 6 |
Round 7: After finishing the last 9 dcs of the 6th row make 3 chs. Then "make 8 dcs into the 3rd dc in the next group of 9 dcs. Skip one and join to the next dc with a single crochet. Then skip one and to the next dc make 8 dcs then join to the 9th dc with a slip stitch". repeat from " to "
 |
| Round 7 halfway |
When you come to the end join the first dc with a slip stitch.
