In the video, I explain how to begin the coasters using a magic ring, how to crochet puff stitches, and how to properly close the round and start a new one. For those interested, the complete written pattern can be found at mycrochetspace....

Thank you, will definitely try that one 🧶

love this pattern! how do I make it so there is less holes and tighter like yours?

[@MyCrochetSpace]

Thank you! :) For me, it was the type of yarn I used that helped minimize the holes. The yarn isn't too twisted and splits easily, which makes it harder to work with, but at the same time, it creates fluffier puff stitches that spread out more. :) I used Fiddlesticks Finch cotton yarn from Australia. You can try reducing the gaps by using a thicker yarn or making the puff stitches slightly puffier by adding one more yarn over. Let me know if this helps! :)

If I wanted to keep going, to make a round blanket with this pattern; how would I need to do that?

[@MyCrochetSpace]

Just add one puff stitch between the two puff stitches in each round, if that makes sense. For example, in round 4, you work 2 puff stitches in the first space, then 1 in the next, and 1 in the following one. Repeat this 2-1-1 pattern all the way around. In round 5, work 2 puff stitches in the first space, then 1 in the next, another 1 in the following, and 1 in the next again. Repeat the 2-1-1-1 pattern around. As the size increases, the round shape may likely evolve into a hexagon. I hope this helps! :)

​@@MyCrochetSpacehello, how do I prevent it from becoming a hexagon please? :)

[@MyCrochetSpace]

@@barborapovazanova6687 If your coaster has a hexagonal shape, you can block it by spraying it with cold water and pinning it into a round shape to dry. :)

Every time i do an increase (place 2 puff stitches in the same space), i get gaps...any advice? I don't think it's the yarn as i'm using cotton yarn. And i tried with both 4 and 5 yarn overs as well and same issue. Thanks so much

[@MyCrochetSpace]

Is there a gap at the base of your increase stitches? Try tightening the chain 1 at the end of each puff stitch to reduce the gap between them. Also, you could experiment with different cotton yarns, as some are thicker than others and may help minimize the gap. The yarn I used in this pattern is quite thick, and the threads separate easily. It can be a bit harder to work puff stitches because the hook can catch on some of the threads, but they also spread out better. Hope this helps!
