How to Knit a Coaster
make a coaster for your cup of tea :DDD
Tie the beginning of the string to one of the sticks
Take that stick and hold it in your left hand
Grab the string with a fist with your other hand
Stick out the thumb and pointer finger on your right hand like a gun
Loop the string around your thumb and pointer finger
Take the stick in your left hand and put it through the string between your thumb and middle finger
Pull it back and let the string around your fingers go (do not let go of your grip on the string)
Loop the string back around your thumb and repeat the previous two steps for as many stitches as you want your coaster to be. (more stitches = bigger)

Repeat the previous steps for the rest of the stitches on the right stick
It Should Look Like This After One Go
Take the left stick that now has all the stitches and switch hands (the right stick should have nothing on it) Repeat the previous steps for as long you want (for how long you want your coaster to be)
Does It Look Like This?
After you've done a few lines, the coaster should start to form a little (like the picture) The process should also look like those cartoon grandmas that knit
Casting Off
make the first two stitches normally
With the right stick, put it through the first stitch
Pull it over the second stitch and the stick
