How to Crochet a Hexagon Coaster | Easy Tutorial by Crochet and Tea

[@AnnOyer7771]

I have 4 cats, and I have to sneak in my crochet sessions during their naps. These are wonderful coasters, and I use cotton yarn leftovers to make these. I have binocular vision disfunction, so it's hard to read patterns without eye fatigue. I'm so grateful for your tutorial and the chance to make nice gifts for people.

[@CrochetandTea]

Oh bless, that's so sweet. Crocheting whilst my cats sleep, now that's a great name for a blog haha!

[@impunitythebagpuss]

I also have 4 furfolk...I know just how to sneak yarnwork in naptimes! 😂 Good for you!

[@jayatkinson1152]

This is one of the clearest videos on crocheting a hexagon I've found so far. Thank you so much! XXX

[@elainevangunst9465]

Thank you so much for your tutorial. I have made several of these and they are beautiful. I just finished a set of four to give as a gift. I cannot thank you enough for sharing this beautiful coaster with all of us. So far this is my favorite pattern for a coaster. 🥰

[@sherryfaires7931]

I am not a good crocheter, but I was able to follow along, with some pauses along the way. I really like your closure, too! Enmxcellent directions on the details! Thank you so much!

[@JessieZemba]

This is the absolute best coaster I have made so far and this has helped me so much.

[@CrochetandTea]

That's so great to hear :-)

[@tulip7903]

i love this tutorial and i’m glad i stayed to the end: i love the way you fasten off and weave in the ends. the visible knot i’ve been doing was quite ugly. thank you!

I love this pattern! Your instructions were very easy to follow along with too! Im going to try to make a blanket out of this and just keep increasing the size until im happy. It builds so easily and is one of the easiest patterns ive ever used.

Thank you for your easy-to-follow tutorial!! I especially liked your caveat about inadvertently covering up the 1st stitch and being careful at the corners! (10:23) I learned that the hard way 😂 I also liked your tip on hiding the very last end stitch by weaving/over lapping! Bravo! ❤🇨🇦

[@CrochetandTea]

Even better, hurrah to free styling! A happy little accident as Bob Ross would say! 😂

[@betsibentz791]

I did it. Thank you. Easy project. I agree would make a nice gift. I used smaller weight yarn so I did one additional row. Great tip on finishing the last slip stitch. Going to have to remember it for future projects.

I love this! It is really easy and I’m doing it as a gift! I made one and it was amazing! I am making more and was wondering if I’m doing my stitches to tight. The others Aren’t necessarily flat like the first one, when I’m done with them. They kinda curl up to the sky, am I doing something wrong?

[@CrochetandTea]

It’s possible your stitches are getting tighter as you go which is natural until you get to grips with your tension, a light spray of water a cloth and a couple of heavy books overnight always sorts it out for me :)

Your written pattern has an error from Round 1. If you follow "CH 3 and 1 DC into the ring, CH 2, * 2 DC, CH 2, 2 DC ** into centre ring, repeat from * to ** 4 more times" you will end up with 22DC(including 1 x CH3 in the beginning) and 12 CH. I'm glad I stopped at attempt #2 and followed the instructions in the video instead. Thank you for the video.

Thank you so much, I've gone back in and fixed the pattern :-)

[@arlenelewis5764]

Thank you! I made this for table coasters but didn’t do last roll for size to fit under a glass, bottle, and can.. Worked out so nice. I also made a small crochet basket to fit 12 in to hold them in one place before use. Thank you again for such good directions!!L

I’m using Hobby Lobby I Love This Cotton super saver yarn. Mine has come out, with just one strand of yarn, as a bit flimsy. I’m going to frog it and double up the strands. I think that will make it sturdier. 🤗

Great vid! Just started crocheting and this is my first thing I'm crocheting, so I'm extremely beginner. Around 4:05, after you chain 3 and say we're gonna place a double crochet into the next double crochet, I'm confused which stitch you're poking the needle through. I wanna say you're putting it in that little hole that gets made in between each set of two double crochets, but it looks like you're poking it through a tighter stitch?

[@CrochetandTea]

Hi thanks for your comment, that is the correct the place, the top of the stitch is always a little over to the right of the post of the stitch. The one you will see just to the left of where I place my hook is actually the first of the two chain stitches. Hope that helps x
