Once you’ve completed crocheting all the petals, weave in any remaining ends using a yarn needle. You can block your coasters to ensure they lie flat and maintain their shape. To block, dampen your coasters with water, pin them into shape on a blocking mat or towel, and allow them to dry completely.
Experiment with different color combinations to match your decor or create a vibrant set of coasters for gifting. You can also adjust the size of your coasters by using thicker or thinner yarn and a corresponding hook size.
