Tips

Small details make the finish better.

  • Use cotton yarn so the coaster absorbs small drips and keeps its shape.
  • Keep the brown center flat; if it cups, loosen your tension slightly.
  • Make all petals with the same tension so the edge stays balanced.
  • Block the finished coaster flat before using it.
  • A set of four to six makes an easy handmade gift.
