How to Crochet a Cat Coaster // 12 Days of Coasters // DAY 9 VLOGMAS 2020 // Crochet and Tea

[@lorinapetranova2607]

I haven't tried the hex panholder. But ive tried some of the other coasters. Took about 3 5 pt coasters to look nice. Ppl are learning crochet so it's a... practice is worth it stuff. Am Looking forward to the cat. This is fun stuff. Once im happy with the Christmas stuff im going to try some more of this interesting collection as in test out new stitches n escape the insanity. I love hearing your birds of the English world. So nice. Kitty the puss is a character. Fur babies don't bother me. Makes you more real n civilized. Plus they keep the pest control. I. Hope you have a very lovely and blessed Christmas and New Year. Oh. I made one of your circles in very small red and about 2ply white tog. Then i did a semi ruffle edge. Now im using same yarns tog making a thing looks kind of like a strange shade tree or bouquet. I like to fiddle with the pattern sometimes once i make a sample. Do German crochet tutorials have an Octoberfest beer stein and a separate weinerschnitzel? Struck me as a cute idea. A mince pie? The ideas are so fun. Nice break from big projects. And from American crochet. 😊. I hope your winter is pleasant. Safe journeys and many blessings. Appreciate your talents.

Thank you, what a lovely comment. A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too 🥰

Love mostly the way you teach and non seriously you take yourself. Helps beginners.

[@helenarylander3545]

Thank you so much! I have knitted for years and just recently started crochet. I finally understand how to make a cat coaster,I have watched a few videos , and this is the first one that is understandable. Amazing how you were able to include some basic crochet into your talking. You are also very entertaining and down to earth! I am looking forward to more projects with you.

[@CrochetandTea]

That's so lovely to hear, thank you :-)

[@sanghavasini]

I am very much a beginner and found it to be so easy to follow along with you! I also LOVE the way you kept the video organic and your commentary along the way. It is like having a tea and crochet party with a friend. Thank you so much!! Such a lovely pattern! 🥰

[@margaretlewinski6164]

i just have to say hearing you talk makes me homesick for england lol have been in usa since 1967 but england will always be home love listening

[@CrochetandTea]

Ah thank you, I'm so pleased you enjoy the chatting :-)

[@deidrabralley8186]

Easy to follow and I love how it turned out. After making the tail with 20 stitches it looked a bit long so I left it at 20 stitches and did a little whip stitch to keep the base of the tail closer to the body and it turned out perfect. Thank you for this pattern.

[@sweett5896]

Love this project. I love how well you explain everything & how you make it so easy for beginners to make beautiful pieces! Yes for the pattern design!❤

[@pauladesrochers7801]

My first crochet project using the magic circle. You are a great teacher and I look forward to doing other patterns with you. I made the cat coaster with you step by step and I am so happy how it came out. Thank you.

[@CrochetandTea]

Thank you, so glad you liked it! X

[@hutchfarm54]

Thank you for taking the time to show us how to make these. My granddaughter and daughter both love cats, so these are perfect for them. Well Done!!

[@CrochetandTea]

Thank you, that’s so lovely to hear :)

[@archanachidanandan5008]

Loved this pattern. So simple to follow along. I also really appreciated the use of the pie analogy to explain the increases to create a circular pattern. Thank you!

[@CrochetandTea]

Thanks :-)

[@beccaking5328]

Love this video. You are an awesome teacher. Thank you.

[@CrochetandTea]

Thank you, that's so nice to hear :-)

[@cynthiariston2846]

Have you ever tried to make a guitar coaster? I would like to make one for my husband.

[@CrochetandTea]

I haven't tried a guitar yet, there's so many shaped to consider. I'm sure if you found a tutorial for a rounded triangle coaster you could say it was a plectrum...? :-)

[@cynthiariston2846]

@@CrochetandTea I was thinking more of an acoustic guitar. You know a figure 8 style. Thanks.

[@karynwhite3708]

I love this pattern. I made a set of 4 for my crazy cat lady friend. I went to make the heart coaster again, and could not find the video. Thanks so much for post fun videos, I really enjoy them.

[@CrochetandTea]

Ooooh what colour cat coaster did you make?

[@karynwhite3708]

@@CrochetandTea It has mixed colors of greens, lavender and purple. I tried to post a picture, but it would not let me.

[@OliveCityOasis]

Can't wait to make some of these! They look great! All my kids love cats, so this is a fantastic idea for gift-giving. 😊

[@OliveCityOasis]

Ok, having watched the whole video now, I want to say three things - (1) You do an excellent job explaining how to make a magic circle, (2) You make crocheting this round cat coaster super simple, showing clearly how to put in the increases and add on the ears and tail at the end, and (3) Yes, I'd love a video in the future that discusses developing our own pattern variations. For instance my 17yo daughter has two pet Shetland sheep, and I'd love to make her a set of coasters. Next to the ears, I'd need to add little curved horns. Hmmm.... I might just give it a go and experiment. How bad could it be? (Maybe really bad? ☺️)

[@CrochetandTea]

That’s the beauty of crochet it’s so easy to experiment with different stitches to make a pattern! Plus it’s so satisfying to know your created something from scratch ☺️

[@donnaanglin7891]

I can't wait to try these! So cute! I want to make them for my sister and my son who both have grey tabby cats. I found this on Pinterest and it started on this one. I may try to go back and see all the other days as well. So fun and I love how you showed your magic circle, I have such a hard time with those, but I am sure I can follow your video. :)

[@CrochetandTea]

That's amazing, hope you have fun making these :-)

[@Starrs1411]

I have picked up my crochet needles for the first time in a decade and I am absolutely thrilled to have found you and your simple way of explaining the magic circle, I did it first time and I remember it being a giant pain my butt! Thank you so much! ❤

[@CrochetandTea]

That's awesome to hear, I'm so pleased you have re-found your love for crocheting :-)

[@user-te7ed3nx5s]

When you say increase it’s not over clear and some things not clear when doing this cat mat . I am a complete beginner and found the round coaster easy but this is confusing . And my circle is curling in .

[@masuganut2082]

My sister and her family are waiting to hear back about an apartment. Finally! They are cat people! So perhaps I’ll have to surprise them with these adorable coasters! Thank you!

[@CrochetandTea]

Yay to cat people, they’re the best! I’m sure they’ll love some of these for their new apartment :)

[@maureendiederich1586]

I wish I had found your site before christmas this year. Nice instructions. Thank you! Merry Christmas.

[@CrochetandTea]

Thank you and a Merry Christmas to you too :)

[@leafyleafylo9887]

Got a bit confused with doing the ears please can you explain again, I am visually impaired and had managed to follow up to that point. Thanks

[@CrochetandTea]

Sorry to hear you struggled with the video instruction :-)

[@leafyleafylo9887]

Please could you just break down the steps for the ears or let me have written steps for that but. The rest of the video was good

[@CherilynQ]

Wow, You explained the steps really well. Gotta learn from you!! Subscribed!

[@CrochetandTea]

Great to have you onboard. So glad you liked it ☺️

[@elainem9774]

love the shape of this with the increases in the round in the last row.

[@lucyjudd7391]

Love the look of these! Could you pop a summary of the pattern in the comments to follow? Thanks!

[@CrochetandTea]

I'm afraid this was created from a grid, I don't always draft up longhand patterns :-)

[@coloredxfoxx]

Hello! I recently started crocheting and i love your videos! I love how you talk to us while doing it, and don't just skip ahead haha very comforting!.

[@CrochetandTea]

That's so great to hear, I was always a little nervous about keeping the videos going and just chatting along :-)

[@lovebunny2345]

You have such a soothing voice and I learn a lot from you!

[@CrochetandTea]

Yay, thank you, so lovely to hear that :)

[@maddies5831]

[@CrochetandTea]

That’s awesome 😎 so glad I could help :)

[@dianakelley1339]

I did it thank you

[@CrochetandTea]

Amazing :-)

[@crystalcarlisle9496]

This is probably dumb but is there a written pattern somewhere? I'm trying to learn to read patterns by having them both written and following along with a video to make sure I understand. Cheers

[@CrochetandTea]

Sorry I didn't create a written pattern for this :-)

[@RebeccaBevan-i6p]

I would love that learn how to create pay😊

[@CrochetandTea]

:-)

[@user-te7ed3nx5s]

But I do like the fact you don’t have to use a marker

[@anjonettescott7249]

I love this coaster!! Thank you!!

[@CrochetandTea]

That's great, glad you liked it :-)

[@francineledger3077]

you are a joyment watching your video's l am up to making 89 coasters and they are all different colors

[@CrochetandTea]

Wow 89 that’s amazing! You’ll have to take a pic of them all laid out!!!!

[@kyu7948]

Thank you so much for this cute cat coaster tutorial! You explained it really well. I'm a beginner so I tried to follow this one today and I'm so glad I've made it!! Thank you for sharing this tutorial. Looking forward to more tutorial videos of you! ^^

[@CrochetandTea]

Thank you for your lovely comment, I’m so pleased I could help :)

[@dajanabudisa9842]

Can I just ask, what is the easiest way to block and shape the coaster? I've even done some flat circle ones, but the edges tend to curl up slightly :)

[@CrochetandTea]

I usually spray with a little water, place a tea towel over the top and then a couple of books overnight. Hope that helps :)

[@melindabaughman7144]

Great tutorial! Thank you.

[@CrochetandTea]

Glad it was helpful!
