Finishing: Once your coaster has reached the desired size, you can finish it off. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail, and pull the tail through the last loop to secure. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.

Feel free to experiment with different colors, yarn types, and hook sizes to create a variety of flat circle coasters. These make great quick and easy projects, and they also make lovely handmade gifts!
