Simple Knit Coaster - for Beginners

Need a coaster for your drink? Make one of these simple knit coasters, they're easy and fun to make!

What you need to make a coaster. 1. Any kind of yarn. 2. Some knitting needles (It doesn't really matter what size you use, but I use US8 5. 0mm ones.) . 3. Scissors. 4. Patience ( this takes about 2 hours to make )

Start by Casting on 20 stitches.

Ok, now that you have 20 stitches on your needle, you need to make a knit row.

After you're done with your first knit row, you need to knit 34 more rows. Once your done you should have 35 knit rows.

Now you need to bind off all your stiches, stop when 1 stitch remains.

Slide the 2 loops off your needles. Put the loops through each other. Cut yarn from skein, leaving about a 4 1/2" end.

Pull end through the stiches, and make a knot. Make 2 more knots, so there will be 3 knots.

On the other side there is a tail. Knot the tail 3 times like the end.

Cut the tail and the end very close to the knot.

Now you're done with the coaster and you can use and enjoy it!
