Frequently asked questions
Why does the coaster use double crochet?
The main piece is built from dc increases (13 sts up to 52) so it grows into a flat disc quickly, giving the coaster body before the red apple shaping round.
How is the apple shape created?
After changing to red yarn, Rnd 5 mixes sl st, sc, hdc, and dc with stepped increases around the edge to sculpt the apple's curved silhouette rather than a plain circle.
How do I finish it?
Make the brown stem (ch 8 worked back) and the green leaf, then sew both to the top of the apple coaster.
