???? Step-by-Step Instructions & Stitch Counts This project consists of 4 main parts: the central white circle, the green wreath border, the red accent thread, and the top red bow. Stage 1: Central White Circle (Base) Start using the magic ring method. Expand the circle in rounds following standard increasing rules: Round 1: Make a magic ring, ch 2 (does not count as a st), work 12 Double Crochets (Dc) into the ring. Join with a sl st to the first dc. (Total: 12 stitches) Round 2: Ch 2. Work an increase (2 dc in each st) in every stitch around. Join with a sl st. (Total: 24 stitches) Round 3: Ch 2. Work (1 dc, 1 inc) around. Join with a sl st. (Total: 36 stitches) Round 4: Ch 2. Work (2 dc, 1 inc) around. Join with a sl st. Fasten off and weave in the ends. (Total: 48 stitches) Stage 2: Green Wreath Border (Scalloped Edge) Attach the green yarn to the outer edge of the white circle. Joining Green Yarn: Secure the green yarn in any stitch on the outer edge of the white circle. Scallop / Ruffle Pattern: Alternative and neat method: Work a base round of single crochets (or half double crochets) around the white circle to yield 48 stitches. For the leaf/scallop lace round: Skip 1 stitch, work 5 to 6 Double Crochets (Dc) all into the next single stitch, skip 1 stitch, and secure with a single crochet in the next. Repeat this wave motif all the way around the circle to create the wavy wreath look.
Stage 3: Red Accent Line (Embroidery / Thread Weaving) Looking at the image, a red yarn is woven in and out (like a running stitch) between the boundary of the white base and the green border using a tapestry needle or crochet hook. This is the key detail that transforms the coaster into a festive Christmas piece. Stage 4: Top Red Bow The small, elegant bow attached or sewn to the top of the wreath: Bow Center / Base: Chain 8–10 and form a small ring, or make a small center using a magic ring with a few single crochets. Bow Loops: Form loop shapes on both sides using chain loops or double crochet groups to create the dual-eared bow shape. Wrap the center tightly a few times with red yarn to define the bow shape. Tails: Create small chains at the bottom of the bow for the hanging tails. ???? Assembly Details Prepare your white circle base. Work the green wreath border around it to complete the circle. Carefully weave the red yarn along the border line between the white and green sections to define the wreath shape. Firmly sew the separately prepared red bow to the top center point of the wreath using a tapestry needle and red yarn. Hide and secure the yarn ends on the back.
