Notes
- Yarn Choice: I used cotton yarn for the Crochet Cherry Blossom Coaster Pattern, which is great for coasters due to its heat resistance and liquid absorption. Acrylic yarn doesn't perform as well. I use cotton for all my coasters like my crochet strawberry coaster patterns!
- Versatile Use: While I designed this pattern specifically for coasters, you can also use it as large crochet cherry blossom appliques for a blanket or pillow.
- Color Options: I made the Cherry Blossom Coaster Pattern using two colors, but feel free to use a single solid color if you prefer.
Instructions
The Crochet Cherry Blossom Coaster Pattern is made in the round.
