*If you are using a size 3 cotton yarn you will crochet with 1 strand, if you are using a size 2 cotton crochet with 2 strands held together.

*These star coasters can be blocked or unblocked, if you do not block the coaster the star will have a more rounded look, blocking the star achieves the pointed star look.
