How To Make Crochet Coasters - For Beginners

How To Make Crochet Coasters

This is a simple tutorial on how to crochet. I wanted to make an easy project for beginners. After making one of these, I wanted to make more. They will make wonderful gifts to give to friends and family. My son, Dustin, helped me make this video. We wanted to encourage you by showing you how he learned to crochet too. This is the first time he ever did crochet. We hope this inspires you to crochet. If you have any questions please leave them in the comment section below. I will try to answer them as soon as I can. Thank you so much for visiting.
