Crochet DIY: Pumpkin Coasters

These coasters are a quick project to do! They’re so cute and easy to make. You can make a set of four or six depending on who you want to gift them to or if they’re for yourself then just make as many as you want. I found this pattern on Pinterest, but I made a modification because I didn’t like the look of the green stem. Also, be sure to use cotton yarn or hot drinks may melt the yarn.
