Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast on 30 stitches and knit in garter stitch for 16 rows to create a square base.

3. Repeat this flower-making process for every alternate row, creating a lovely row of flowers across the coaster.
4. Once you’ve completed your design, bind off and weave in any loose ends. Finally, block each coaster flat to shape.
