Adding the Ribbon
- Horizontal Band:

Weave another piece of ribbon vertically through the ch-1 spaces in Rows 2–7 and 9–15, creating the look of a wrapped present. - Securing Ribbon:
Flip coaster to the back and secure the ribbon ends with a dab of craft glue. Optionally, wrap them to the back and stitch or glue for a cleaner finish. - Finishing Touch:
Tie a small bow with your silver ribbon and glue it at the top center where the bands intersect. Make sure glue is applied only to the ribbon, not the yarn.
Tips & Variations:
- Swap red yarn for green or white for a festive mix.
- Try metallic ribbon or baker’s twine for different looks.
