How to crochet a modern cactus coaster featuring surface slip stitches and reverse single crochet edging.

Materials:

• 30 Yards of Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn Per Coaster - I used WeCrochet Dishie in White (16 Yards), Jalapeno (12 Yards) and Kenai (2 Yards)
• H8/5mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle
• Optional, Jewelry Pliers

Yarn Alternatives:
Lily Sugar n Cream, Red Heart Smoothie

If you are only making a coaster that will house a cold or hot beverage, you can use acrylic as an alternative with an I9/5.5mm hook - do not put anything fresh from the oven on an acrylic coaster, or you will melt the fibers and risk burning yourself.

Other Recommended Yarn (with I9/5.5mm Hook):
Red Heart’s Super Saver

Weaving in ends of a tough yarn, like cotton yarn, can be hard on the fingers. Sore thumbs and frustration can be a thing of the past by simply using jewelry pliers to carefully help pull the tapestry needle through the work.

Time Spent:
I worked up one coaster in just about an hour. The actual coaster took around 30 minutes, and then I had 20 ends to weave in.

Measurements:
4.13” (4 1/8”) Wide at widest point by 3.75” Tall

Abbreviation (US Term):
- SC - Single Crochet
