Creating the "Blood Splatters":

After completing the base circle, start making the blood splatter shapes. The splatters are made by chaining a certain number of stitches (7 for small splatters and 10 for larger splatters), then working back towards the coaster with a combination of slip stitches, single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet stitches.
Create a pattern of alternating small and long splatters around the edge of the coaster. Each splatter pattern starts directly from the current stitch on the coaster's edge, extending outwards with chains, then forming back towards the coaster with progressively smaller stitches.
Secure each splatter back onto the coaster's edge to create a seamless look.

Remember to:

Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round.
Join with a slip stitch and chain 1 at the end of each round before starting the new round.
Take time to hide all the yarn ends with a needle for a clean finish.
