Santa Belt Coaster

"This quick crochet Santa coaster is a free Christmas crochet pattern that uses the thermal half double crochet stitch and a small amount of yarn. This pattern uses cotton yarn for durability and heat resistance, but it could also be made with acrylic yarn as long as you don't use it underneath very hot beverages. The thermal half double crochet stitch makes this coaster extra thick so it's the perfect shield to protect your surfaces. The pattern includes a video tutorial for learning how to crochet the thermal half double crochet stitch in the round."
