in today's video I'm going to show you

how to crochet this adorable heart

coaster for Valentine's Day I use two

colors of yarn and an H hook you can use

whatever yarn and hook you like but

please make sure that if you're going to

be putting hot items on the coaster

you'll want to use a cotton yarn or

similar material so that it does not

melt grab your crochet hook and some

yarn and let's have some fun crocheting

I start this project with a magic ring I

prefer to use the double ring method

because it's a much sturdier option if

you're unfamiliar with how to do it

please check my description box below

and you'll find a link to a complete

video tutorial on how to do the double

ring we start round one by chaining

three and we do four trouble crochet

stitches to do the trouble crochet

you're going to yarn over twice insert

your hook into the

ring yarn over and pull up a loop yarn

over pull through two loops on your hook

yarn over pull through two more loops on

your hook and yarn over and pull through

the last two loops on your hook you'll

repeat that three more times so you'll

have a total of four triple crochet

stitches

we do two double crochets so yarn over

insert your hook into the ring yarn over

pull up a loop yarn over pull through

two loops and then yarn over and pull

through the last two loops on your hook

you'll do that one more time and now we

do a trouble crochet stitch this will be

the center point at the bottom bottom of

our heart we repeat exactly what we just

did but in reverse order to do the other

side of the heart so we start with two

double crochet

stitches followed by four trouble

crochet

stitches

and to complete the round we chain two

and slip stitch into the magic ring

you'll close the magic ring and put a

stitch marker into that last slip stitch

using a stitch marker is very important

because at the center point of the top

of our heart it gets really crowded when

we use slip stitches and it can be very

hard to tell if it's a stitch or not and

this is where most people mess up on

their Stitch count so please make sure

that you use a stitch marker at the

center point slip

stitch this would be a good time to sew

in your tail so that it doesn't get in

your way for the rest of the rounds to

start round two we want a single crochet

into the second and third chains from

the previous round this is the top of

the first treble crochet from the

previous round and here are the two

chain stitches that we want to work our

single crochets

into

we do two half double crochets in the

next Stitch which is the first trible

crochet from the previous

round do two double crochets in each of

the next four

stitches

one double crochet in the next

Stitch now we've reached the center

Stitch at the bottom of our heart so we

put a double crochet a treble crochet

and another double crochet into that

same

Stitch

we repeat that Stitch sequence that we

just did on this side of the heart but

in reverse order so you start with a

double

crochet followed by two double crochets

in each of the next four

stitches

two half double crochet in the next

Stitch

we complete round two by doing a single

crochet in the last two chains from the

previous

round

and then we slip stitch to the center

point of the previous round where we

have the stitch

marker on a hook size just to get into

that last slip stitch because it does

get a little tight

put your stitch marker in the slip

stitch you just made that completes

round

two if you're enjoying this video please

let YouTube know by giving it a thumbs

we start round three by putting a slip

stitch in the first single crochet from

the previous round followed by a single

crochet two half double crochets in the

next two

stitches

two double crochet in the next four

stitches

double crochet in the next six

stitches

we've reached the center point at the

bottom of our

heart so we put a double crochet treble

crochet

double crochet all in the next

Stitch we repeat that Stitch sequence on

this side of the heart but in reverse

order so we start by putting a double

crochet in the next six

stitches

two double crochet in the next four

stitches

two half double crochet in the next two

stitches single

crochet and to finish this round we slip

stitch in the last single crochet of the

previous

round this completes round

three you'll fasten off the first color

if you're using two colors and you'll

sew that tail in start round four at the

bottom point of the

heart if you're using a second color

you're going to join that color and do

three single crochet in that trouble

crochet at the bottom point of the heart

I like to go in between the top Loops of

that Stitch and pull the yarn

up I then go under both Loops of that

Stitch yarn over pull up a loop yarn

over and pull through two loops and

that's your first standing single

crochet you'll do two more single

crochet in the same Stitch

I like to work over my ends to get rid

of them as quickly as possible if you

prefer you can always sew them in at the

end single crochet in the next 11

stitches

two single crochets in the next

you at the end of the

the four stitches left so we do our last

scallop with a single crochet in the

next Stitch two half double crochet in

the next

Stitch single crochet in the next

Stitch and slip stitch in the last

Stitch you shouldn't have any stitches

left if you do I suggest starting over

and making sure you use a stitch marker

so that your stitches are in the right

place and you have the right Stitch

count flip Stitch to join the round or

you can do an invisible finish I think

they turned out adorable and you don't

have to just wait until Valentine's Day

to put them

out I made a couple of different color

combinations you can use colors that fit

in with your decor and

style these would also make a nice gift

I'll have a link for my rivalry shop in
