Knot by knot to macramé coaster
Fix the threads or the created circle to the nail of the cork coaster.
Use the first of the thread strands as a guide and tie the other threads to it with the knot "double half stroke", until you feel that the next working thread is too far away:
The round knot widens the distance between the guide and the next working thread. If the distance should be too large and there is an unsightly "hole", knot another additional thread to your work with the lark's head knot (you will avoid that the knotwork bulges).
