Padrão de Porta-copos Estrela-do-mar (Croché)

The intermediate level is spot on—challenging enough to keep it interesting but not frustrating. I’ve used it three times already and the starfish shape holds up perfectly after a few washings, which is exactly what I needed for a durable coaster.

The instructions are clear and the cotton yarn makes these little stars hold their shape beautifully, even after a few washes. I finished my first one in one evening and it's already earned a permanent spot under my coffee mug.

I’ve made three of these starfish coasters so far and the intermediate stitches keep it interesting without being frustrating. The cotton yarn really does hold up to condensation—no soggy rings on my coffee table after a week of use.
