Coaster Base (Square Shape)
- Starting Chain: Chain 20 stitches.
- Row 1: Skip the first two chains from the hook. Double crochet into the third chain and continue double crocheting into each stitch until the end of the row.
- Row 2: Chain 2. Turn your work. Skip the first stitch and double crochet into the second stitch. Continue double crocheting into each stitch until the end of the row.
- Rows 3-10: Repeat Row 2 until you have a total of 10 rows.
Edging
- Chain 1.
- Single crochet around the entire edge of the square.
- Corners: At each corner, work two single crochet stitches to create a defined corner.
- Sides: Along the sides where you have double crochet rows, work two single crochet stitches into each double crochet post. (You’ll have 20 single crochets on each side.)
- Top and Bottom: Along the top and bottom edges, work one single crochet into each stitch.
- Finish by slip stitching into the first single crochet to close the round.
- Cut the yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in. Use a tapestry needle to weave in the loose end.
Star (Yellow Yarn)
- Magic Ring: Create a magic ring.
- First Petal: Single crochet into the magic ring. Chain 3, then slip stitch into the base of the single crochet.
- Remaining Petals: Repeat the "single crochet, chain 3, slip stitch" sequence four more times to create a total of five petals.
- Close Ring: Pull the magic ring tight to close the center of the star.
- Finish: Slip stitch into the first single crochet of the first petal. Chain 1 and cut the yarn, leaving a short tail. The tail will be used for gluing.
Christmas Tree (Green Yarn)
- Preparation: Cut a long piece of green yarn and thread it onto a tapestry needle.
- Tree Trunk: Locate the center of the coaster. Bring the needle up from the bottom of the coaster and down a few stitches above the starting point to create the trunk. Ensure the trunk is straight.
- Tree Branches (Bottom Layer):
- Bring the needle down diagonally to the left from the top of the trunk.
- Bring the needle up a few stitches to the right of where you just went down, creating a diagonal line.
- Bring the needle down diagonally to the right from the top of the trunk, mirroring the first diagonal.
- Bring the needle up a few stitches to the left of where you just went down.
Continue creating diagonal lines, moving slightly inward with each new "branch" to form a triangular shape.
- Tree Branches (Middle and Top Layers): Continue creating layers of branches, moving upwards and narrowing the width of each layer to form the Christmas tree shape.
- Finish: Once the tree shape is complete, bring the yarn to the back of the coaster and tie a knot to secure the yarn.
Assembly
- Use hot glue to attach the yellow star to the top of the green Christmas tree on the coaster.
- The finished coaster will be approximately 9.5 cm in size.
