🐻 Crochet Bear Coaster Tutorial 🐻 - Beginner Friendly

━━━
Hello everyone! In this video, I walk you through how I crocheted these adorable bear coasters 🐻🐾. These are relatively easy to make because there are only a few alterations to the basic circle pattern. You only need to know the basic crochet stitches: slip stitch (sl st), single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc), and double crochet (dc).

This is my first time posting a crochet tutorial and doing a voiceover so if anything is unclear do feel free to comment for clarifications and I will do my best to get back to you.

✨ You may sell coasters using this pattern, but please credit me and link my youtube channel in the description. Please use your own photos in the listing, and no mass/factory production. ✨

slip knot, chain 3, 10 hdc into 1st chain, slip stitch all together, chain 2, 2 hdc in each stitch repeat but increase so 1 then 2nd hdc, 2 then 3rd hdc do this for 4 rounds, ears - double c 5 times into first stitch, slip stitch, single stitch 4 times and then repeat double c 5 times for 2nd ear, single stitch all the way around (this was just for me to reference from but thank u for the tutorial! it was rlly easy to understand <3)

Hello! Thank you so much for the easy tutorial. A few adjustments I made for my self included using a magic ring at the beginning to hdc 10 stitches into. This doesn't change anything.
I also wanted to make the finished coaster bigger (I had a smaller yarn weight), so I added another round after round 2. 1 hdc into the first stitch, 1 hdc into the second stitch, 2 hdc into the third stitch. Repeat this sequence all the way around, you will end with 40 stitches. Then in the last round (with the ears), 7 dc into the first stitch, sl stitch into the next stitch, sc 6 stitches, sl stitch, 7 dc into the next stitch, sl stitch, sc all the way around.
This was how I made it bigger, maybe someone else wants to as well!

TYSMMM! IT TURNED OUT SO CUTE BUT IT ALSO TURNED OUT SMALL

[elizums]

This was so easy to follow! I just started and mine doesn't look as good, but I'm proud of it so thank you ❤️

[shuaa_]

a useful tip for me!
If your cup is bigger you can add one more row between the normal row and ears row by doing (1HDC, 1HDC, 2HDC) as a set and repeat, if you wanna add one more row then do (1HDC, 1HDC, 1HDC, 2HDC) as a set:)

I'm a total beginner and thanks to you I managed to crochet my first coaster, it's not perfect but I like it. Too bad I can't attach a photo of my crochet for you to see.

[chrysanthemum.]

loved this tutorial! i recommend specifying in what stitches to put in since i got confused

[AbLaV]

I love this! The yarn size i used made a super small bear, not big enough to be a coaster, but it is super cute! I think it would be hella cute to make these into granny squares and make a blanket with it

[laraYT]

my dad always calls me his little bear so it will be lovely to be able to make his this :) thank you

[ChannelOfLaughing]

Thank you for this great tutorial! It was super clear and easy to follow, and it helped me make some really cute gifts for my co-workers! :)

[jawaheraldosari]

For beginners, this is really good. I used to crochet when i was a kid and kind of lost the skills to do so. Now, I'm re-learning everything 😀

[MackieLars]
