• Scissors

Instructions:

Starting the Pear Coaster:

Begin with a magic ring using the white yarn.

1. Crochet 3 chains (considered as the first double crochet).
2. Make 12 double crochets inside the ring (including the initial 3 chains, this counts as 12).
3. Pull the ring tightly to close and slip stitch into the top of the first chain to complete the circle.

First Increase Row:

1. Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).
2. Make another double crochet in the same stitch as the chain 3.
3. In each stitch around, yarn over and make two double crochets until you have a total of 24 double crochets.
4. Slip stitch to the first chain of the row to join.

Second Increase Row:

1. Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).
2. In the next stitch make one double crochet.
3. In the following stitch, make two double crochets.
4. Alternate making one double crochet in one stitch and two double crochets in the next around.
5. You should have a total of 36 double crochets.
6. Slip stitch to join the round.

Creating the Pear Shape:

Continuing with the increase pattern (one double crochet in one stitch, two in the next), chain 11 for the stem.

1. Transition to half double crochets and double crochets down the chain to create the stem.
2. Once back to the main circle, continue with double crochet increases to shape the pear. Follow the pattern one double crochet, one double crochet, then two double crochets in the next stitch around for several rounds until desired size is achieved.

Finishing Touches:

Switch to green yarn to crochet the leaf and side details.

1. For the seeds, use the brown yarn to embroider small stitches at the center of the pear coaster.
2. Slip stitch around the edges for a neat finish.

Adding the Leaf:

1. Chain 13 with green yarn.
2. Follow a combination of single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet stitches back along the chain to create the leaf shape, mirroring the pattern on the opposite side of the chain.
3. Finish with a slip stitch and sew the leaf onto the top of the pear coaster.

Final Assembly:

• Secure all loose ends and use iron steam to flatten and shape the coaster neatly.
