    \ud83c\udf3c Step-by-Step Pattern (Two-Color Round Coaster)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83e\uddf5 R1: Center Circle (Color A)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Make a magic ring<\/strong> (or ch 4 and sl st to form a loop).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), then work 11 dc<\/strong> into the ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Join with sl st to the top of ch-3. (12 stitches total)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      \ud83c\udfaf Tip<\/strong>: Pull the magic ring tight to close the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \ud83e\uddf5 R2: Increase Round (Still Color A)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in the same st<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Work 2 dc in each st<\/strong> around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Join with sl st to top of ch-3. (24 stitches)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        You\u2019ve now doubled your stitch count for a flat circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \ud83d\udd04 CHANGE TO COLOR B<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Cut color A (optional) and join color B<\/strong> into any stitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \ud83e\uddf5 R3: Continue Expanding (Color B)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in the same stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. (1 dc in next st, 2 dc in next st)<\/em> \u2013 repeat around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Join with sl st. (36 stitches)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          You are now forming a smooth, growing circle with subtle shaping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \ud83e\uddf5 R4: Final Round (Still Color B)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Ch 1 (does not<\/strong> count as stitch), sc in each stitch around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Sl st to join. (36 sc)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            \ud83c\udfaf Optional<\/strong>: For a fancier edge, try reverse single crochet<\/em> (crab stitch) instead of regular sc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \ud83c\udf80 Optional Border Round (Switch Back to Color A)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            You can finish with a contrasting decorative border<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Join Color A<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • (Skip 1 st, 5 dc in next st, skip 1 st, sl st in next)<\/em> \u2013 repeat for a shell edge<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              \ud83d\udccf Finished Size<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Using worsted weight yarn and a 4.5 mm hook, your coaster will be about 4.5\u20135 inches in diameter<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Adjust hook size or yarn weight to make larger\/smaller coasters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                \ud83e\uddfa Care Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Use 100% cotton yarn<\/strong> for best absorbency and heat resistance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Machine wash cold, lay flat to dry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • If using acrylic, avoid hot cups\/mugs directly on them (use decoratively).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
