VIDEO TUTORIAL OF LEAF COASTER

Heather Williams: I have made two items under your instruction the tulip doily and a leaf coaster both came out and worked up perfectly, I have done crochet for many years, you are a very good instructor and I thank you for the great tutorials that you do so well.

WRITTEN PATTERN OF LEAF COASTER

I found that Lion Brand Bonbon cotton yarn was perfect size to crochet the leaves. I also had a leftover Anchor Crafts green cotton yarn from my pineapple doily, it’s the same weight – light 2. One Lion Brand cotton bonbon is enough to make one leaf. I used crochet hook size 3.25 mm.
