Finishing
Fasten off, leave a long tail to weave in.
Tip: use the 'neat fasten off' method to make the beginning/end of the last round invisible. For a tutorial on how to do this, watch this video. You follow these steps:
1. Cut the yarn and fully pull through
2. Put the yarn through your needle
3. Insert the needle through the first stitch of this row
4. Go back to the last stitch of this row (where you fastened off) and insert through the back loop only.
5. Weave the end.
Weave all ends. Make sure to firmly secure the ends. Your coaster is now finished, well done!
