How to crochet maple leaf coaster

The fringed coasters are so popular now, I decided to create my own version and designed the maple leaf coaster.

The coaster is made using tapestry crochet technique. It’s a great technique to create beautiful designs and patterns, and it’s perfect to crochet the fringed coaster. Besides, I love that it looks as if knitted, not crocheted.

The technique is not too difficult to master but it does require some extra focus and practice. Hopefully my video tutorial is helpful to you!
