Crocheted Heart coasters

Hi! Crafters!

This is from Red Heart Yarn and would be a great gift for friend or family for the Valentine holiday. Unfortunately, I do not have time to make them myself.  Hopefully, I will be able to make one by the end of this year. Maybe with having my own craft room I will be organized.

ch = chain; cm = centimeters; dc = double crochet; mm = millimeters; sc = single crochet; sl st = slip stitch; st(s) = stitch(es); yo = yarn over; [ ] = work directions in brackets the number of times specified; * or ** = repeat whatever follows the * or ** as indicated.
