Crochet Instructions

Starting with the Magic Loop Method

Make a magic loop with the yarn tail in your right hand.

Wrap the yarn around your left hand and secure the loop by placing your thumb on it.

Insert your hook into the loop and make a knot to secure the ring.

Round 1

Start with 2 chains (does not count as first stitch).

Work 12 double crochet (dc) into the magic ring.

Pull the tail to close the ring tightly.

Slip stitch (sl st) to the first dc to complete the round.

Round 2

Start with 2 chains (does not count as first stitch).

Work 2 dc into each stitch around (24 dc total).

Sl st to the first dc to complete the round.

Color Change and Round 3

Cut the yarn and pull it through the final loop.

Attach a new color by hooking the new yarn from behind and securing it.

Start with 2 chains (does not count as first stitch).

Alternate the following pattern around: 1 dc in one stitch, 2 dc in the next (36 dc total).

Sl st to the first dc to complete the round.

Round 4

Start with 2 chains (does not count as first stitch).

The pattern for this round is: 1 dc in the next stitch, 1 dc in the following stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern around (48 dc total).

If you need to join new yarn during the project, simply hook the new yarn and continue crocheting as normal, weaving in the ends.

Sl st to the first dc to complete the round.

Rounds 5 to 7 (Optional for Bigger Size)

Continue increasing stitches in the pattern established (increasing 12 stitches per round) to make the coaster larger.

The final stitch count at the end of the last round should be a multiple of 5.

Final Round (Heart-Shaped Border)

Attach dark pink yarn with 3 chains to start.

Work a puff stitch (yarn over, insert into the hole, pull up 4 times, yarn over, pull through all loops on the hook) followed by a chain to secure it.

Chain 4 and work another puff stitch into the same hole.

Skip 4 stitches and repeat the heart pattern in the fifth stitch.

Repeat the pattern for a total of 17 heart shapes around the coaster.

Sl st to join the round and tie off the yarn.

Last Round (Gives Definition to Hearts)

Start by attaching a light pink yarn in between the heart shape with a single crochet, then do a double crochet into the next hole.

Work around by wrapping the full chain of the heart shape with the double crochets and treble crochets to create a series of 3 double crochets, 3 treble crochets, and 3 double crochets (9 stitches total).

Slip stitch to join the first stitch, tie off the yarn and weave in ends.
