Crocheting is a great hobby. For those who are just starting to learn the basics of knitting, you can suggest trying to make a hot stand. It is knitted quite simply and you can knit a whole set for each family member.
Knitted hot coasters will add coziness to your kitchen. A set made by your own hands can be a good gift for friends for a family holiday.
Stands "Sunflowers"
To get such coasters, you need 200 g of black yarn and 150 g of black. From this number of threads, a set for 6 persons should be obtained. Take hook # 3 for work.
Crochet a ring and secure the thread. In the first row, single crochets should be knitted, and in the second and all subsequent even ones - with a crochet. So knit, alternating rows, until the diameter of the workpiece is 12 cm. Using the same pattern, knit 6 workpieces and 3 more smaller diameters, approximately 8 cm. Tie the finished products in a circle with yellow yarn with single crochets. You can make 2 such rows. Then tie the sunflower petals together. To do this, cast on 4 air loops in the last row. Next, turn the hook back and knit 1 single crochet, 2 double crochets and 2 double crochets on these air loops.
Connect the petal to the center of the sunflower. To do this, knit a loop on the hook with a single crochet and a loop extended from the third column of the base (count from the beginning of the air chain). Thus, knit the petals around the center of the flower. When the stand is ready, it is better to steam it with an iron through a thin damp cloth so that the edges do not bend. The set of coasters "Sunflowers" is ready!
Stands "Hearts"
For the manufacture of such coasters, you can use plain threads and hook No. 1, 5. Start the work by knitting a rhombus. To do this, cast on a chain of 12 loops and tie 6 rows with single crochets. To make the stand in the shape of a heart, you need to tie two semicircles on two adjacent sides of the finished rhombus, which will give the necessary shape to the stand. To do this, turn the hook to the left and make 3 yarns.
Next, lead the hook through the central loop of the row and knit a column with two crochets. Through the same loop, knit more double crochets. Repeat this operation 10 times. Connect the final column with a loop to the product. As a result, you should get a semicircle, which will be one part of the heart. On the second side of the rhombus, in the same pattern, knit the second part of the heart. To make your stand look neat and have a finished look, tie it in a circle according to the following pattern: single crochet - 3 air loops - single crochet through one loop - 3 air loops and so on. At the end of knitting, fasten the thread and cut.
