The crochet lemon coaster uses cotton yarn. It is imperative that you use cotton yarn for coasters. Cotton yarn is a great fiber of choice because of how breathable it is, and absorbent.
I love working with cotton yarn and even have a few crochet patterns that use it like my Crochet Duck Hat Pattern, Crochet Spa Set, and Sunflower Coaster Crochet Pattern. Cotton yarn is great for summer hats, wash rags, and coasters because of the aforementioned qualities in its fiber.

🐌Expert Tips
Keep the tension in your coaster and leaf loose and not tight, otherwise you might experience some curling on the project.
🧵Pattern FAQs
The best yarn for crocheting coasters is generally cotton because it is durable, absorbent, holds up well to heat, and is easy to wash.
Crochet coasters tend to curl if there is a variation in tension. Aim to maintain uniform stitch sizes for the best results.
Crochet coasters are equally effective as those made from cork, felt, stone, or other materials found in stores. The distinct advantage of crochet coasters is that they are handmade, offering a wider variety in design.
