This tutorial from Made in May uses the foundational square knot to build a circular shape, resulting in a clean, modern look for your coffee table. It’s a simple project that feels meditative to work on, making it a great introduction to handmade living if you’re new to fiber arts.
The design is versatile because you can easily scale the measurements to turn these coasters into larger placemats or even wall hangings.
