Let’s Get Started
1. Foundation Chain
-
Start by chaining 31 stitches. This will be the base of your coaster.
2. Crocheting the Rectangle (Center of the Heart)
-
Row 1: Starting in the 4th chain from your hook, work 1 double crochet (dc) in each chain across. Turn your work at the end.
-
Rows 2–10: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc), then crochet 1 dc in each stitch across. Turn your work after each row.
3. Shaping the Heart Curves
Left Side:
-
Row 11: Along the side of the rectangle, work 11 double crochets evenly to form a smooth semicircle.
Right Side:
-
Repeat the same process on the opposite side to complete the second semicircle.
4. Adding a Decorative Border
-
Work a round of single crochet (sc) all the way around the heart to give it a neat and polished edge.
5. Final Touch – Picot Edging
-
To add a delicate finish, chain 3, slip stitch into the first chain (to form a small point or “picot”), skip one stitch, and single crochet into the next. Repeat this pattern around the entire edge.
6. Finishing Up
-
Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.
