    CROCHET: How to Crochet a Flat Circle Coaster (US Terms) | Easy Tutorial by Crochet and Tea
    •••••••••••••••••
    What to do if your coaster curls up like a little dome! - TOP TIPS
    1. Firstly do not be concerned, this is totally normal and lots of factor can attribute for this including:
    a. The weight of yarn and hook size
    b. Your crocheting tension at the beginning rows and subsequent rows being slightly different
    c. The material yarn is made from i.e. acrylic, wool, bamboo, cotton.
    2. It's also worth noting that 9 out of 10 times all crochet is a little misshapen when you first create it.
    3. That where the BLOCK comes in!
    4. Lay your crochet items onto a flattened towel, and spray lightly with some water [DO NOT IRON] once you have dampened the crochet lay another towel or cloth over the top, and place something heavy with a flat side on top, usually a few heavy books does the job, you don't need to press the items, simply put enough weight to keep the coaster flat.
    5. Leave overnight to dry, and voila, your coaster should now be flat and ready for use.

    So to keep going, after single DC single DC double DC, would I then do three single DC then a double DC, or one single then two doubles? I hope that made sense!

    • @marlenahowell3654
      @marlenahowell3654 3 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Update, I believe I figured it out, it should be a single DC for the next 3 stitches then (the 4th stitch) two DC. Hope that made sense :)

    • @CrochetandTea
      @CrochetandTea  3 ปีที่แล้ว +49

      For every new round you would increase the number of single DC between the increase which is 2 DC into the same stitch.

    I spent an hour trying to understand other videos teaching me how to make this and I kept getting to steps that made no sense- until this one. I made my circle in a few hours and was able to understand everything after a few watches. THANK YOU! You're the only video I watched that took it slow enough and made it clear enough for me someone who has never crochet before to make this! So thank you very much for this!!!

    • @CrochetandTea
      @CrochetandTea  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s awesome to hear. Circular crochet can be really challenging at the beginning of your crochet journey: I remember being so frustrated and making things that looked like little egg cups! I always keep my own learning in mind and aim to make videos that have everything little detail that will help. I’m so glad you found this useful x

      It's always great when it turns out looking like it should. I've spent many years squishing the odd extra stitch in just to make it feel a bit more in shape. I think that's the beauty of crochet over knitting, you can always hides a rogue freeform bit and no-one will ever know! #NoRulesCrochet is definitely one of my many crafting mantras hehe!

    THANK YOU SO MUCH ... I have finally found thru you how to easily do the magic circle AND 10-20-30 rows plus ... to then start my own mish mash of stitches for HATS. I was having great difficulty just getting the crown started after a few years away from crochet. Having done 700+ to donate I needed a break, and just recently am starting up again. God bless. I'll be checking out some of your other stitches soon. Health and Happiness in this New Year of 2024!!

    ❤ this is one of the most safe pattern I’ve used for a circle. It’s fail safe and it gives an end result of a very stable, even circle. The trick with the double crochet at beginning (or end of the row) is brilliant. Thank you from Scotland ❤

    Hi! It's me again! I'd really love to show what I made by learning how to make a perfect flat circle but I can't figure out how to send you a picture lol. Anyway, I'm very much into vintage hot pads and I'm redoing my dining room in a country theme. All of my crocheted items that I've hung on my wall are little dresses. But with your help, I crocheted a perfectly flat, round clock! Thank you so much!!!
