Tutorial to Crochet the Spiral Halloween Coaster
This tutorial demonstrates how to crochet a spiral Halloween coaster with a scalloped border. You start by making a magic ring with white yarn and adding single, half double, and double crochets.
Next, you attach black yarn into the same magic ring and work the same initial stitches. You expand the coaster in continuous rounds, alternating between white and black yarn loops to build the two-color spiral design.
Once the main circle reaches the desired size, you taper down the stitches to flatten the edge. Finally, you attach green yarn along the outer border to create a decorative shell border around the entire coaster.
