Yarn and Hook Information

I recommend using cotton yarn for these coasters as it is more durable and can handle heat well.

You can also use thicker cotton yarn, such as #4 (worsted, 10 ply), just adjust the hook size accordingly.

If you do use #4 worsted weight yarn, you will not need to work double stranded.

The reason why I use 2 strands of #2 light cotton yarn is so that you can play with color variations by using complimenting strands of yarn. Or if worsted weight yarn is not available to you.

Crochet Tips, Yarn Choices, and Color Inspiration

• Cotton yarn works best for coasters since it's absorbent and holds its shape well
• Stick to classic fall tones like brown, rust, mustard, and cream for a seasonal look
• For everyday use, try neutrals or muted tones to make them less theme-specific
• Keep stitches tight to help the coaster hold its structure
• Use simple embroidery or surface crochet for facial details if you want a cleaner finish
• If you want less sewing, crochet small pieces directly onto the base where possible
• Make all bases first, then add turkey details assembly-line style to save time
