0:00hello and welcome or welcome back my
0:03name is Claire I'm the Creator behind 53
0:05stitches and today we're going to be
0:07making this super cute little coaster
0:09it's great for drinks or for decoration
0:11around your house and it's perfect for
0:15beginners so luckily a nice short list
0:18of materials that we need today I have
0:20some DK weight mercerized cotton yarn
0:23this particular one is drops Muscat in
0:25the color 30 and we've also got a 3 mm
0:30crochet hook or a size five a pair of
0:33scissors a yarn needle for finishing the
0:35coaster off at the end and I've got two
0:37Stitch markers here so that we can show
0:39you the correct place to um start and
0:42finish your rounds this coaster starts
0:45with a magic circle which can be quite a
0:47tricky technique for a beginner to learn
0:49we're just going to go through it slowly
0:51feel free to rewatch this part as often
0:53as you need to so you've got the tail
0:57end of your yarn and then the working
0:59yarn is what is still attached to the
1:00ball we're going to wrap that yarn
1:03around our finger
1:05once twice and then pull it over and
1:09then join it here at your ring finger
1:12and just pinch that in place with your
1:13thumb then you want to insert your
1:15crochet hook underneath that first Loop
1:18the second Loop and then grab that third
1:21length of yarn pull it under both of
1:24those
1:25Loops grab that working yarn again and
1:29then pull it through through the loop
1:31that we have on our hook now you can
1:33take this magic circle off your finger
1:37and just pull that working yarn to
1:39tighten in place this is technically a
1:42magic ring complete so we have these two
1:45little Loops that we'll pull on later to
1:47close the circle and the tail end of the
1:49yarn over here and we've got one loop on
1:51our crochet hook at the moment and so to
1:55start the first round we're just going
1:56to chain two so to chain you want to y
1:59yarn over so wrap the yarn over the
2:02crochet hook and use the little hook at
2:05the end just to pull it through the loop
2:07that's sitting on the hook so that's one
2:10chain and then we do it again to
2:12complete a second chain so we're going
2:15to work 14 double crochets into this
2:17magic circle to start our coaster and to
2:20do a double crochet the first step is to
2:22yarn over and then insert your crochet
2:25hook into that big circle yarn over
2:29again
2:30draw it through and you'll see that we
2:32now have three loops on our crochet hook
2:36you want to yarn over and draw through
2:38two of those Loops we now have two loops
2:42on our crochet hook yarn over again and
2:45draw through those remaining two loops
2:47and that is your first double crochet
2:49completed now it can be a bit tricky to
2:52find your stitches when you're first
2:53starting so we're actually just going to
2:55pull that up there and we're going to
2:59add a stitch marker to Mark our first
3:01double crochet so you can see here we've
3:04got these three V shapes the top one is
3:08our first Stitch that we've just
3:09completed so insert your stitch marker
3:12underneath both Loops of that Stitch to
3:14help us find it later those other two
3:17v's are from that chain that we did at
3:19the
3:20start now you can put your crochet hook
3:23back on your put the loop back on your
3:26crochet hook and pull that working yarn
3:28to tighten it and then we're going to
3:30continue doing the other 13 double
3:33crochets that start our round so again
3:35yarn over insert your crochet hook yarn
3:39over again and pull up Loop yarn over
3:44draw through two of those Loops yarn
3:47over again and draw through the final
3:50two so that's our second double crochet
3:52let's do the third yarn over
3:56insert yarn
3:58over pull up
4:00yarn over draw through two yarn over
4:05draw through two so we've got one 2 3
4:09then we'll do
4:14[Music]
4:18four
4:22[Music]
4:245 6
4:28[Music]
4:367
4:408
4:459
4:4910
4:5411
4:5812 1
5:0213 and our last
5:05one
5:0814 okay so those are the 14 double
5:11crochets in our first round complete
5:14we're actually going to open up that
5:15Loop now and let's count them
5:17together so each little V here is one
5:23stitch so we've got 1 2
5:273 4 5 5 6
5:317 just hold that
5:35place 8 9 10 11 12 13 and then our 14th
5:43Stitch is the first one that we did and
5:46it's marked by our stitch marker here
5:47and we're actually going to take our
5:49second stitch marker and insert that
5:51underneath the last Stitch that we've
5:53just done so that we know when uh we
5:56reach the end of the round for our next
5:58round
6:00now the last thing left to do is to
6:02close up this magic circle so first
6:04let's just pull on both of those Loops
6:06to
6:07bunch to Bunch those stitches up a bit
6:10more and then you've got these two Loops
6:13here in our magic circle you want to
6:14pull one of them until the other one
6:16starts to close so I've just pulled the
6:18wrong one there because it is pulling my
6:21tail shorter instead I'll go and get
6:23that second Loop and you can see that
6:26that other loop starts to disappear
6:29so you can pull that one until the tail
6:31starts to move and
6:34then you can pull that
6:36tail to close the circle and the tail
6:39can be a little tough to pull at first
6:41especially if you've moved it like I
6:42just
6:43did so you can still see a little bit of
6:46the table through that so I'm just going
6:48to pull that extra tight to get that as
6:51closed as we
6:53[Music]
6:55can and you can trim this tail a little
6:58bit you want to leave at least a small
7:01length that we can hide later um but if
7:04I find if the tail is too long it's
7:06definitely going to bother me while I'm
7:07crocheting the rest of the coaster so we
7:09now have the last stitch in the round
7:12marked by our pink stitch marker and the
7:14first Stitch that we did in the round
7:15marked with our blue stitch marker and
7:18to actually finish this round we're
7:20going to do a slip stitch into that
7:22first Stitch to join the round together
7:25so insert your crochet hook underneath
7:28both of the loops the little V shape of
7:31that
7:32Stitch and then yarn over and pull it
7:35through you now have two loops on your
7:38hook and for a slip stitch you just pull
7:41that
7:43Loop through the other one and that is
7:46our slip stitch complete and you can see
7:47that that's formed like a nice little
7:49circular shape and now we're going to do
7:52the same thing we did with our magic
7:53circle at the start and that is we're
7:55going to chain two so yarn over draw
7:58through down over draw through and
8:01that's to get us up the height that we
8:03need for the second row now the first
8:07Stitch that we work into for the second
8:09row is this one that's still marked by
8:10our blue stitch marker so I'm actually
8:12just going to take this out so that I
8:15can put my crochet hook in there and
8:17there's enough space for it but you just
8:19want to take note of which Stitch that
8:21is because that is where our crochet
8:24hook is going to be going for our first
8:26double crochet of round two so we're
8:28going to yarn over insert into that
8:31Stitch we just removed the marker from
8:34yarn over again you've got three loops
8:37on the hook yarn over draw through two
8:42yarn over draw through two and so we've
8:44just completed our first double crochet
8:46of round two and we're going to mark
8:49that Stitch again with our blue stitch
8:53marker so it's just this little V at the
8:58top
8:59and that's going to help us
9:01find where we should slip it where we
9:04should slip stitch into when we reach
9:06the end of this round and for each
9:08stitch in this round we're actually
9:09going to do an increase we're going to
9:11do a second double crochet straight into
9:13that same Stitch so we'll yarn over and
9:16insert through yarn over pull up a loop
9:21yarn over draw through two of those
9:23loops and then yarn over and draw
9:25through those final two you can see that
9:27those two double crochets are coming out
9:30of that same starting Stitch and so
9:32that's our first increase done we're
9:34going to do an increase in every single
9:36stitch around the circle until we reach
9:39our final stitch marker and that means
9:41that we will have added another 14
9:44double crochets to our round we'll have
9:4728 stitches in total at the end so for
9:51our first double crochet of our next
9:53Stitch we're going to go into the Stitch
9:55that sits next to the one that we've
9:57worked into so yarn over
10:00insert underneath both of the loops of
10:02that Stitch yarn over pull up a loop
10:06yarn over draw through two Loops yarn
10:09over draw through the final two that's
10:11the first double crochet of our increase
10:14and then back into that same Stitch to
10:17do the second double crochet of our
10:19increase so that's two increases that
10:22we've done and we've got four stitches
10:24in the round so far so we'll just keep
10:26doing that all the way around
10:28[Music]
10:32then back into the same
10:33[Music]
10:36Stitch and then we've done two and one
10:38so we move on to the next
10:49Stitch and cotton yarn in particular can
10:53do this sort of splitting action because
10:55each thread of yarn is made up of a
10:57number of different PES sometimes the
10:59yarn will split like this so just try
11:02and be careful and watch out for it and
11:04if it does
11:06happen you can usually like for example
11:10if I pulled through half of it and it
11:11does this sort of situation you can
11:15usually take all of the stitches off
11:18your hook until you have that last one
11:19left and then just pull it straight to
11:22tidy up that yarn and put it all back
11:24together again and then just start the
11:26Stitch
11:27again to avoid that
11:29not all Yarns are going to do that but
11:31cotton in particular when it's made up
11:34of a number of different PES can be a
11:37little finicky to work
11:42[Music]
11:48with Okay so we've just done our second
11:50last increase of the round and the next
11:53Stitch is the one that's marked by our
11:55stitch marker that tells us it's the
11:57last Stitch from the last round so this
11:59is actually the last increase that we
12:01have left to work before we finished
12:03with the double crochets in the round
12:05and the reason that we mark it is that
12:07you can see that it looks like there are
12:09actually two stitches left in the round
12:11you've got this one here and then
12:13another one that looks another little V
12:16that looks like it's a stitch here this
12:18one here is actually the slip stitch
12:20that we completed to join the round
12:21together and we don't work into that
12:23when we're working in joined rounds so
12:25you can take that pink marker out now
12:30and we'll work our last increase into
12:32that
12:36[Music]
12:40Stitch and then you can put that pink
12:42stitch marker back on the last Stitch of
12:46this round so that you know where it is
12:48for the next
12:49one and then we just need to join the
12:52round to finish it so again we've got
12:54this blue stitch marker here you can go
12:56underneath that one and do your slip
12:58stitch
12:59to finish round two and then your chain
13:02two to get us up to the height that we
13:05need for round three so we are ready to
13:08start round three it also starts with an
13:10increase the same way we did last time
13:12so we're going to work two single
13:13crochets into that first Stitch which is
13:15the one that's marked by the blue stitch
13:17marker and then we're going to do a
13:19double crochet in the second Stitch and
13:22we're going to repeat that pattern all
13:23the way around so we'll do an increase a
13:26double crochet an increase a double
13:28crochet crochet and increase a double
13:30crochet and so on and so forth until we
13:32reach the end of the round so I'm going
13:34to take this blue stitch marker out
13:37we'll do the first double crochet of
13:39that
13:40increase into that Stitch that it was
13:46marking and then on the first one we can
13:49replace that stitch marker so we know
13:51where to look next time and then the
13:53second double crochet of that
13:56increase and that's our first Stitch and
13:59and then we're just going to do one
14:00double crochet in the next
14:02Stitch and that's the first instance of
14:05our repeat and then the repeat will
14:07start again so we'll do a double crochet
14:09increase in the next Stitch so one two
14:12back into that same Stitch and then
14:15we'll just do a single double
14:18crochet that's confusing terminology
14:20we'll just do one double crochet into
14:22the next Stitch so you can kind of see
14:24our pattern here it's okay it it's hard
14:26to see because it can take some time to
14:28recognize this stitches we've got two
14:31double crochets worked into the first
14:32one one in the second two into the third
14:36one into the fourth and we'll just
14:38repeat that pattern of 2 1 2 1 all the
14:41way around until we reach our end of
14:43round
14:56marker Okay so we've just completed the
15:00increase of our repeat and our very last
15:02Stitch is going to be one double crochet
15:05so I'm going to take that stitch marker
15:06out and I'm actually going to leave it
15:09off for the next round and we will see
15:11if we can identify the correct stitch
15:14together without using Stitch markers
15:16but while you're beginning I recommend
15:18using as many Stitch markers as you need
15:20even if you want to put them at at
15:21different intervals around the circle to
15:23help you keep count and help you keep
15:25track of what the last Stitch you did
15:27was you know use as many Stitch markers
15:30as you need they they are there to help
15:32you learn so we have finished our last
15:35double crochet and then we're just going
15:36to slip stitch into the first Stitch of
15:40the
15:42round to complete round three and I'm
15:45going to remove that stitch marker as
15:47well so we're doing hard mode
15:51now
15:52so to start round four we're going to do
15:56the same two chain start to get us up to
15:58the right height basically each round
16:01we've started with 14 double crochets in
16:03the first round and we added 14 double
16:05crochets because we did 14 increases in
16:08the second round at the end of round
16:10three you should have 42 stitches
16:12because on top of the 28 that we had in
16:14round two we added another 14 through
16:17our increases so we're going to do the
16:19same thing again add another 14 stitches
16:22in round four because adding the same
16:25number of stitches that we started with
16:27helps create this nice flat Circle um
16:30and we'll block it at the end as well
16:31which will help it actually sit flat too
16:33but we can worry about that later so the
16:36pattern repeat to get those additional
16:3814 stitches in is our first Stitch is
16:41going to be a double crochet then we're
16:43going to do an increase and then a
16:45double crochet and then we'll repeat
16:47that three- Stitch repeat all the way
16:49around our Circle so it will be double
16:51crochet increase double crochet double
16:54crochet increase double crochet and
16:57you'll notice that two double crochets
16:58are sitting right next to each other you
17:01can also do an increase to start and
17:04then two double crochets an increase two
17:06double crochets if that's an easier
17:08pattern to remember the reason that I
17:09split those stitches up is to help
17:12stagger the increases and I have a whole
17:13video on the topic if you're interested
17:15in learning why we do that but basically
17:17it's to help keep a rounder shape for
17:19our coaster so you can learn more about
17:22that if you'd like to but for now let's
17:23just get started so we'll do a double
17:26crochet into that same Stitch that we
17:29slip stitched into to finish the round
17:32so we'll do one double crochet into that
17:35Stitch and then our next Stitch is going
17:37to be an increase so that's two double
17:40crochets worked into the same
17:42[Music]
17:47Stitch and then our third Stitch is
17:49going to be just a double
17:53crochet so that's our double crochet
17:55increase double crochet and now we'll do
17:57double crochet increase double crochet
17:59and we'll just keep repeating that
18:00Circle all the way around
18:03until we are at the end and your final
18:07Stitch should be the final Stitch of the
18:09repeat so it will be the double
18:13crochet that happens after the
18:20[Music]
18:24increase and then we're on our last
18:26repeat
18:30so an
18:32[Music]
18:34increase and then again we've removed
18:37our Stitch markers this time but you can
18:38see we've got the slip stitch from last
18:41round and then the actual last round of
18:43the Stitch and you can kind of see these
18:44slip stitches because they have this
18:47vertical bar there it is and there as
18:51well that can be really tricky to spot
18:53though so again use the the Stitch
18:55markers if you need to and then our
18:57final single crochet before the round
19:00and then we will join it to that first
19:02Stitch from the last round from the
19:05round and you can see it because we know
19:08it was a double crochet you can see the
19:11double crochet in that Stitch and it
19:13goes up to that
19:16V those sorts of um recognizing the
19:19stitches becomes a lot easier once
19:22you've had a bit of practice so this is
19:24the end of round four of our coaster and
19:27the last thing left to do is we we are
19:28going to be adding that little scalloped
19:30edge around the side which means that we
19:33actually start this round a little
19:34differently than we've started the rest
19:35of them so we've usually done two chains
19:38to get to the height of a double crochet
19:40for our next round but the scalloped
19:42Edge which I have a finished coaster
19:44here this scalloped Edge has this little
19:47divot and it's actually where we're
19:48going to be starting so we're going to
19:51do one
19:52[Music]
19:54chain
19:56for round five and then that's the
20:00that's the the extent of the height that
20:02we need for this round so we can we can
20:04get started after that so we're going to
20:07be doing a single crochet now in this
20:09first Stitch so we've learned how to do
20:11a double crochet a single crochet is
20:14half the height of a double crochet
20:17hence the name um and it's a little bit
20:19simpler so the first thing you do is you
20:22simply insert your crochet hook into
20:24that same Stitch that we did the slip
20:26stitch in the same way that we have for
20:28all the other rounds you yarn over pull
20:31through you've got two loops on your
20:33hook yarn over and pull through both of
20:36those Loops so a double crochet has a
20:38lot more steps single crochet is nice
20:40and simple in the next Stitch we're
20:42going to work three double crochets so
20:45similar to an increase where we work two
20:47double crochets in the same Stitch we're
20:49now going to work three double crochets
20:51into the same Stitch so start with the
20:54yarn over
20:56insert pull through three loops on the
20:58hook hook yarn over draw through two two
21:02loops on the hook yarn over draw through
21:04two so we've got the first double
21:07crochet that we've completed and now
21:08we're going to do a second one back into
21:10that same
21:12[Music]
21:13Stitch and then a third double crochet
21:17into that same
21:18[Music]
21:21Stitch and you can see that we're kind
21:23of building up at an angle our single
21:26crochet gives us a little bump height
21:29our double crochets give us a bigger
21:30bump and then for the next Stitch we're
21:32going to work a single crochet into that
21:34one again so or go through that slower
21:37you insert your crochet hook into the
21:39next Stitch without yarning over first
21:43then you yarn over and pull it through
21:45you have two loops on your hook yarn
21:48over and pull through both Loops so we
21:51started at a smaller height went up and
21:53then went back down and then for our
21:56next Stitch to go even closer to the
21:58Edge we're just going to do a slip
22:00stitch so it starts the same way as a
22:03single crochet insert straight
22:05in draw through but instead of yarning
22:08over at this point you just draw it
22:10through and I find it helpful to twist
22:13the yarn backwards at this point I don't
22:15know why it just seems to play nicer so
22:18that is our first little scallop and
22:22we're repeating that four stitch pattern
22:24all the way around so it's a single
22:26crochet three double crochets a single
22:29crochet and a slip stitch so let's do
22:31that again we start with a single
22:35crochet then we work three double
22:37crochets into the next
22:39[Music]
22:48Stitch then we work a single crochet
22:51into the next
22:52Stitch and then a slip stitch into the
22:56last Stitch of the repeat and there's
22:58two of our little scallops so again it's
23:01a four Stitch repeat a single crochet
23:04three double crochets a single crochet
23:07and then a slip stitch
23:09so single crochet three double
23:19crochets single
23:21crochet and then a slip
23:24stitch and just keep repeating that
23:27until we arrive at the end of the round
23:29[Music]
23:36again okay I've just finished the slip
23:39stitch of the second last repeat I just
23:42want to make sure that there are 1 2 3
23:44four stitches left until we reach the
23:47end of the round and there are and so
23:48that's how you know that you've repeated
23:51the you've done the the repeats
23:54correctly um I always recommend counting
23:58your stitches as often as you can to
24:00make sure that if there are any mistakes
24:02you catch them
24:05quickly so that's our three double
24:07crochets in one stitch single crochet
24:11and then there is the final slip
24:14stitch
24:18whoops the final slip
24:21stitch and then you can cut your yarn it
24:24doesn't have to be super long just long
24:27enough so that we can hide the tape
24:29and then you just pull your crochet hook
24:30out to pull that tail through and then
24:34you can tighten it there are two last
24:37little things that we have to do to
24:39finish this coaster number one is hide
24:41these two tails the one that is left
24:43from when we finished the coaster and
24:45the one that's left from when we started
24:48so to do that you want to take the yarn
24:50needle that we prepared earlier and
24:53you're going to thread
24:54that tail onto
24:58see if I can get that on
25:00camera you want to thread the tail onto
25:03that yarn needle and the difference
25:04between a yarn needle and a regular
25:06needle is usually just that the eye of
25:08the needle is massive so that you can
25:10actually get the yarn onto it easily and
25:13the tip of the nail is usually quite
25:15blunt um and that's so that it doesn't
25:18split the wool or the cotton in this
25:22case um as easily so to find the Stitch
25:25that we are going to go into
25:29so we have the straight bar here of the
25:32slip stitch that we did to join round
25:37four and then this one here is the
25:40single crochet that we did as part of
25:43our
25:44first uh
25:46scallop so if you can find that one and
25:49usually it's easy to find the one that
25:51has three double crochets coming out of
25:53it because it's a lot denser and bulkier
25:55than the stitches behind it because it's
25:57got those three stitches going into it
26:00so you want The Little V right next to
26:03those three double crochets and then you
26:05want to see where they lead up to so
26:09you're going to insert your yarn needle
26:12almost like you would for a single
26:13crochet underneath the V of that first
26:17single crochet that we did of the
26:19round and then you just draw it
26:23through and you can see here where the
26:26yarn is coming out we actually want to
26:29go back into that same spot that it's
26:32coming out of and it can be quite Tight
26:34cuz we actually pulled
26:36it so where the yarn is coming out here
26:40you want to insert your needle back
26:43through that same
26:47Stitch there and you want to go down so
26:51from the top down so we are basically
26:54going to be
26:56creating the Little V so there's our V
27:01that we've just sewn in place if you
27:04pull that
27:05tight it just disappears into the rest
27:08of
27:09them and then that
27:11edge has that same nice smooth Center
27:15that the rest of the sculps do so to
27:19then Hide Your Tail underneath it you
27:21want to take your yarn
27:24needle kind of follow the
27:26pattern that the
27:28the yarn and the stitches are already
27:30going in so I like to just go underneath
27:33one of those Loops there then maybe turn
27:35it
27:36around and we're aiming
27:38for if you follow
27:42sorry if you follow like this little
27:45thread for example and then go
27:47underneath and there is a point here
27:51where you can see all of these little
27:53V's you want to go underneath those and
27:58you'll kind of feel it with the needle
28:00there is sort of like a pocket of
28:03stitches that your needle can sit
28:06through so if I just wiggle my way
28:09through that little
28:12pocket so on this side here you can
28:15barely see the needle through those
28:16stitches and if I flip it around you can
28:19barely see the needle on the other side
28:21as well because it's sitting in between
28:23that those layers of stitches and that's
28:25a really good place to hide your Tails
28:29then you can just pull it through wiggle
28:31it around a little so it's sitting nice
28:33and naturally that's a very technical
28:36term there and then I usually go
28:37underneath one of these bar stitches on
28:40the back and then I do the same thing in
28:43the next row just
28:45going in underneath all of those
28:49V's wherever it feels like the needle is
28:51happy to go and this one doesn't seem
28:54very happy at all does
28:56it and that this is another reason why
28:59you want a really blunt yarn needle
29:01because it's not going to split all of
29:03those threads it's just going to
29:05sit nicely in them and I'm pretty happy
29:08with that that's two passes under a few
29:11stitches and then we'll do the same
29:13thing with
29:14the starting tail so just thread that
29:17onto the
29:20needle and then I usually take it
29:25underneath a few stitches of this first
29:27ring around from
29:29our starting
29:32point like
29:34that and then underneath one of
29:38these little
29:42bars and then back in the opposite
29:49direction into the
29:52little sleevey kind of section
30:02[Music]
30:11and because I cut my thread Too Short at
30:13the start it's falling off but sometimes
30:14it's easier to place the needle and then
30:16thread
30:18it and we'll pull that
30:22[Music]
30:24through give it a good little
30:26wiggle and then then I like to fold it
30:30over pull it a little bit and then just
30:33get as close as you can without actually
30:36cutting your
30:38coaster and just trim the the extra tail
30:42that we
30:43[Music]
30:46have and that
30:49is your beautiful little scalloped
30:52coaster with all of the Tails neatly
30:56hidden and
30:59um you'll notice that the scallops kind
31:01of like turn inwards a little bit or at
31:03least they do for me that how much they
31:06do that is going to change depending on
31:08your tension the material you used Etc
31:11um but we've got one last step before
31:13this coaster is finished and it involves
31:15an iron okay so the last thing that we
31:18have left to do is actually block our
31:20coasters so that they sit a little bit
31:22more flat got my little pile of coasters
31:24to block and blocking is basically just
31:28ironing I have my iron here which is set
31:31to the uh two dot setting and your yarn
31:34band will tell you what setting you want
31:36to have your iron set to so this one
31:38here is the drops Muscat label when you
31:41open it up on the inside it has all of
31:43the symbols that show you the care
31:45instructions so this one here is the one
31:46that tells us we want our iron set to
31:49too if you have a synthetic fiber for
31:52example I have a band here for the
31:53premier pafa chunky which is a 100%
31:56polyester it will have this little no
31:59ironing symbol because applying heat
32:01directly to a plastic product is
32:03generally a bad idea in that case you
32:06can still block The Coasters you can
32:07still make it of that kind of material
32:09and help it to sit flat but what you
32:11want to do is use some kind of fabric in
32:13between so this one here is just a
32:16cotton tea toil that I have that I've
32:18soaked in water and then you just
32:20squeeze all of the water out and you can
32:22place it on top of your
32:24coaster and then
32:28uh you'd want to have your iron set to a
32:30higher setting for this one so probably
32:31over on the actual Cotton or linen
32:33setting um and in that instance when you
32:36press over it all of the steam from the
32:38wet tea towel will heat the coaster and
32:41block it for you so that's still one way
32:44that you can block your coaster for a
32:46synthetic fabric um but in this case we
32:48should be able to iron just directly on
32:50it because we've got it set to the
32:51settings that are on the care label of
32:53our
32:54yarn so it's pretty simple
32:58just lay the piece on I've got the steam
33:00setting
33:01on because the steam is really going to
33:04help relax all of those
33:07stitches and it doesn't take long and
33:11you can already see the difference in
33:13how flat this coaster is sitting around
33:15those scallops compared to one that we
33:17haven't ironed yet and I also like to
33:19flip it over and just give it a quick
33:21little go on the reverse side as well
33:24and it really doesn't take long at all
33:28and that's it that's your last step so
33:30your coaster is all finished now and you
33:33can make as many colors as you want I'm
33:35going to iron the rest of these and have
33:37myself a cute little coaster set
