[C2C Crochet] The Watermelon ice cream pattern C2C Crochet Cup Coaster.

Summer is almost over, but I'm still making cup coasters with a summer theme. Watermelon colors help create beautiful cup coasters. One of the design options for the coaster is the image of a watermelon-shaped ice cream.

In this step-by-step tutorial, I'll introduce you to crochet with a corner-to-corner crochet technique that I use to crochet cup coasters. I suggest you crochet just such a cup coaster with the image of a watermelon ice cream.
