How to crochet a simple coaster

Start by making a magic ring. Place 1 3-puff sts into the middle of the ring, repeat 5 more times, sl st to join (6 puff clusters total).
How to Puff st:
Insert your hook into the st, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over place your hook back into the same st and yarn over pull up another loop. repeat 1 more time, you should have 6 loops on your hook, yarn over and pull through all loops on your hook and close by with a ch 1.

Place 1 3-puff st into the 1st st from the start of the previous row, repeat into every st until you reach the end of the round, join with a sl st (12 puff clusters total).

Count your puff clusters as you go to make sure you don't miss a st!

Place 1 3-puff st into the 1st st from the previous row, repeat into every st 'til you reach the end of the round, join with a sl st (24 puff clusters total).
Pro Tip
If you want to change colour you can do so by pulling the new coloured yarn through the loop on your hook and tie the 2 colours together. You can go around the ends as you crochet so you don't have to weave them in at the end.
