| 4 circle coasters |
The single colour coasters are 3 rounds of dc, with a final round of sc to make them the same size of the tri-colour coaster, which I made first. Each round is an increasing round, with the first round starting with 12 dc. Each dc round is started with 3 ch. For the tri-colour coaster, I inserted a round of sc after the second round of dc. Again, each round is an increasing round, starting with a first round of dc and each dc round starts with 3 ch. I think I'll take this opportunity to practice my pattern writing further, please let me know if I make any mistakes!

| tri-colour circle coaster |
worked in 4 rounds, gauge not important, hook and yarn determine size of finishjed coaster
(I used 8 ply 'classic' wool from Bendigo Woollen Mill and a 4mm hook)
1. 4 ch (counts as first dc throughout), 11 dc into 1st ch, sl st into 4th ch (12 dc)
2. 3 ch dc into same, 2 dc into each dc to end, sl st into 3rd ch, cut yarn and fasten off (24 dc)
3. (change to 2nd colour) starting in any st 1 ch (counts as first sc), sc into same, sc into next, (2 sc into next, sc into next) repeat to end, sl st into 1st st, cut yarn and fasten off (36 sc)
4. (change to 3rd colour) starting in any st 3 ch, dc into same, dc into next, dc into next (2 dc into next, dc into next, dc into next) repeat to end, sl st into 3rd ch, cut yarn and fasten off, (48 dc) weave in all ends, wash and dry flat

Step 2: 3 ch dc into same, 2 dc into each dc to end, cut yarn and fasten off (24 dc)
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly does this mean? is that 3 dc chains into the same loop, then 2 dc chains into each loop following until you meet full circle?
hi there, that round is basically 2 dc into each stitch around for a total of 24 stitches, the 3 ch at the beginning counts as the 1st stitch, I hope this helps!
ReplyDeleteThank you, that does help. For clarification:
ReplyDeleteHow do you do the 3 ch at the beginning? Is this a half dc, where I pull the yarn through 3 loops?
Also, why do you cut the yarn on step 2? And how do you connect it then to make it a full piece? to fasten it off, just a slip stitch?
no, its just 3 ch not a hdc
ReplyDeleteI cut the yarn because the colour changes, and yes there is a sl st to join, I will amend the pattern
good luck with making your coasters, I hope you enjoy them!
