Olivia’s Tips
These coasters are such a joy to make! For a super neat finish, especially with the Crab Stitch and Invisible Join, take your time and don’t rush. The Invisible Join truly makes a difference in creating a seamless edge. If you’re feeling extra festive, you could even add a tiny jingle bell or a small embroidered detail to the gold topper. And remember, if you want to make these as everyday coasters, simply complete the Crab Stitch all the way around in Round 3 and skip the ornament topper entirely. Happy crocheting!
