Saguaro Cactus Coaster

"How to crochet a modern cactus coaster featuring surface slip stitches and reverse single crochet edging. You'll need 30 yards total per coaster of worsted weight cotton yarn. I used WeCrochet Dishie in White, Jalapeno and Kenai, but Lily Sugar n Cream is a good alternative. If you are only making a coaster that will house a cold or hot beverage, you can use acrylic as an alternative with an I9/5.5mm hook - just do not put anything fresh from the oven on the acrylic coaster, or you will melt the fibers and risk burning yourself. I worked up one coaster in just about an hour. "
