    This step by step tutorial teaches you exactly how to make a "D" coaster, but you can use the same basic technique to make any letter of the alphabet.

Preparation and starting chain:

  • Start by dividing your yarn into a few smaller balls. This allows you to have several working strands at once.
    For the “D” Coaster, you'll need 3 balls of colour A (grey) and 2 balls of colour B (blue).

  • Form a slip knot with colour A (grey) and tighten it on your hook. Chain 18.

Row 1:

  • Starting with the third chain from the hook, insert 1 double crochet into each chain across.
    Each row of the coaster will have 16 double crochet total.

  • Cut colour A.
    At this specific point we cut the yarn, but you can leave the yarn uncut if the template shows adjacent squares that you'll be returning to later. Or carry your yarn across the whole square.

Make a border and tie in ends:

  • Add a border of your choosing. We used colour B and inserted 1 single crochet into each stitch around.
    To create the corners, do 2 single crochet, chain 1, 2 single crochet.
    Finish the border by slip stitching into the first single crochet.
