Crochet Heart Coaster Pattern Notes

• The heart is made up of a simple square worked in single crochet stitch.
• The square is then turned into a heart shape by working two large shell stitches across two sides of the square.
• The shell stitches consist of 13 treble crochet stitches.
• The coaster is then finished off with a round of single crochet to tidy up the edges.

For the pink heart, please hold two strands of yarn together.

For the white heart, I used a single strand.

Both hearts were made with a 5 mm crochet hook.

Row 2-11: 1 ch (doesn’t count as a stitch), 1 sc across, turn. [11 sc]

Row 12: Miss 5 sts, work 13 tr into the next st, sl st to last st to fix the shell into position, do not turn.
