How to make super adorable Unicorn Coasters!!

This is for all my unicorn lovers!! These unicorn coasters are the bomb! Who doesn't love unicorns? Even my kids love to use them and it's a great way to finally get the kiddos to stop making rings on my tables with their cups! And.....they can totally make the perfect gift for your unicorn loving BFF! So let's get started!

What you'll need:

•  1 skein of a white or off white yarn. I used ILTY from Hobby Lobby in Ivory Tweed.
•  I used ILTY in Dark Neons for the flower crown and some leftover pink yarn in my scrap bucket for the horns. (Any color combo you choose will work with this pattern)
• 6 mm crochet hook (size J)
• scissors
• yarn needle

Abbreviations:

• chain (ch)
