Striped Circle Coasters, free patterns

I made these small drink coasters for my online shop to test these patterns I've written. They're based on the simple circle coasters I made for my sister-in-law, but I've refined the pattern further. I hope you like them!
4 circle coasters with pink stripes at different places
Each coaster has four rounds, one is a stripe of sc. Each coaster is identified by which round has that sc stripe. The idea is to use a contrast colour for the sc round so it really stands out. Gauge is not important, as the hook and yarn determine the size of the finished coaster. I used a 3.5mm hook and 8 ply Australian made cotton from the Bendigo Woollen Mill.
