Materials You'll Need

Macrame cord (4mm or 5mm thickness)
Scissors

Optional: Beads or other embellishments

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cut Your Cords

To begin, you'll need to cut your macrame cords into equal lengths. The length of the cords will determine the size of your coasters, so you can adjust it accordingly. For a coaster that measures approximately 6 inches in diameter, you'll need to cut 12 cords that are each 12 feet long.

2. Create a Lark's Head Knot

Once you've cut your cords, you'll need to create a lark's head knot at one end of each cord. To do this, fold the cord in half and make a loop at the top. Then, pass the ends of the cord through the loop and pull them tight. This will create a secure knot that will attach the cords to your working yarn.

3. Create a Square Knot

Now you're ready to start crocheting your coaster! To create a square knot, take the two cords on the left and make a loop with the left cord. Then, take the two cords on the right and make a loop with the right cord. Pass the right loop through the left loop and pull it tight. Then, pass the left loop through the right loop and pull it tight. This will create a single square knot.

4. Repeat Step 3

Continue repeating step 3 until you have created a chain of square knots that is the desired length for your coaster. For a coaster that measures approximately 6 inches in diameter, you'll need to create a chain of approximately 24 square knots.

5. Join the Ends

Once you have created the chain of square knots, you'll need to join the ends together to form a circle. To do this, take the first and last cords and tie them together using a square knot. Then, trim any excess cord.

6. Create a Fringe (Optional)

To add a touch of flair to your coasters, you can create a fringe around the edges. To do this, simply cut a bunch of cords into equal lengths and attach them to the edges of the coaster using a lark's head knot. You can also add beads or other embellishments to the fringe for a more personalized look.

Tips and Tricks

Use a thicker macrame cord for a more durable coaster.
If you want a larger coaster, simply increase the number of square knots you create in step 3.
To add a pop of color, use different colored macrame cords.
Get creative with your fringe! You can use different colors and textures of cord, or even add beads or tassels.
If you make a mistake, don't worry! Simply undo the knot and start again.

Crocheting your own macrame coasters is a fun and easy way to add a touch of boho chic to your home décor. With just a few simple materials and a little bit of patience, you can create beautiful and unique coasters that will last for years to come. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
