Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your own Sunset Hues Granny Square Coasters:

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • To create a magic ring, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, then insert your hook through the loop, grab the working yarn, and pull it through to create a slip knot.
2. Round 1:
   • Ch 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
   • Into the magic ring, work 2 double crochets (dc).
   • Ch 2 to create a space.
   • Repeat the sequence of *3 dc into the ring, ch 2; from * two more times.
   • Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the initial ch-3. You should have 12 dc and 4 ch-2 spaces.
3. Round 2:
   • Sl st to the next ch-2 space.
   • Ch 3, then work (2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in the same space.
   • In the next ch-2 space, work 3 dc.
   • In the following ch-2 space, repeat (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc).
   • Continue this pattern for the remaining spaces, joining with a sl st to the top of the initial ch-3.
4. Round 3:
   • Sl st to the next ch-2 space.
   • Ch 3, then work (2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in the same space.
   • In the next two ch-2 spaces, work 3 dc each.
   • In the following ch-2 space, repeat (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc).
   • Continue this pattern for the remaining spaces, joining with a sl st to the top of the initial ch-3.
5. Round 4:
   • Sl st to the next ch-2 space.
   • Ch 3, then work (2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in the same space.
   • In the next three ch-2 spaces, work 3 dc each.
   • In the following ch-2 space, repeat (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc).
   • Continue this pattern for the remaining spaces, joining with a sl st to the top of the initial ch-3.
6. Finishing:
   • Fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a tail of about 6 inches.
   • Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends securely.
