A week ago, I felt like I need something for my table this Christmas but I was totally out of the idea of what to make. I blindly walked into a craft shop and bought red, green, and white yarns but seriously I didn’t know what I am going to do with them. I felt like I need to buy them because they are “Christmas” colors.

I was not worried as I knew that the angels would bring some ideas to me since I have been a good girl all these years!!! Inspiration struck, why not crochet some drink coasters for my table? That’s how I came out with this Crochet Christmas Coaster. 🥰

I altered my original yo-yo puff pattern to make it smaller (about 1″ each) and hence denser. Similar to the wide-brim hat I made for my daughter, joined 6 red yo-yo puffs to a center green puff to form a hexagon shape for the red poinsettia. Reverse the colors for a green poinsettia. I have used red and green, what about white color? It is a snowflake ornament!!!

I altered my original yo-yo puff pattern to make it smaller (about 1 inch each) and, hence, denser. Similar to the wide-brim hat I made for my daughter, I joined 6 red yo-yo puffs to a center green puff to form a hexagon shape for the red poinsettia. Reverse the colors for a green poinsettia. I have used red and green, what about white color? It is a snowflake ornament!!!

Enjoy making them!

I made these yoyos, and they are pretty placed in the flower configuration. However, my problem is joining them together. I join two, then join others, and the first two fall apart. I am making square knots to join---the usual kind of knot I use to join yarn. Could you say more about the process for joining all seven pieces together? I love this project, and I hate for my hard work to be wasted. Thank you for your help!
