Daisy Coasters Free Pattern
This has quickly become my new favorite handmade housewarming gift, but it’s also a quick project for whenever my hands are antsy to do some crafting. If you’ve never crocheted in the round before, this is a very beginner friendly project to start with! My biggest tip before diving in is to use a stitch marker (you can buy them or use a safety pin lying around) to make keeping track of your rounds easier. Simply pop it on to either the first or last stitch of each round.
