Pattern Corrections & Tips
- If you find your coaster ruffling, check your stitch count in each round.
- You can create more dramatic flowers by adding more or fewer hdc per chain.
- For a more “open flower,” roll the strip loosely before sewing.
- Fasten off and secure every color change to keep your work tidy.
- Tip: Use sturdy cotton yarn for best coaster durability and absorbency. Mix and match leftover scraps for vibrant, garden-like results!
