- Slip stitch - sl st
- Increase (inc) - 2 stitches in 1 stitch
Notes
- Yarn Choice: For your coasters, opt for soft cotton yarn. Cotton is absorbent, durable, and ideal for handling any spills that might occur during breakfast. Plus, it holds its shape and softness over time, making it perfect for everyday use.
- Adjusting the Size: If you want a larger or smaller coaster, it’s easy to adjust the pattern. To maintain a flat, round shape, simply increase each round by 12 stitches. If you're working on a smaller coaster, reduce the number of rounds, but make sure to maintain that even, circular shape as you go.
- Securing Ends: After finishing your coaster, don’t forget to weave in all loose ends. This step is crucial for ensuring that your coaster stays intact and doesn’t unravel with use. Since coasters are often used daily, securely weaving in the ends will help your creation last longer and keep it looking neat.
Instructions
- This crochet egg coaster pattern is made in rounds.
- Round 1: Using yellow, make a magic ring and immediately chain 2 (does not count as a stitch). Then dc x12 into the magic ring. To secure the round, sl st to the 1st dc in the round (12).
- Round 2: Ch x2, then dc inc in every stitch from the previous round. Then sl st to the first dc in the round (24). Fasten off the yellow yarn and switch it to white.
- Round 3: Sc inc, sc, hdc inc, hdc, (dc inc, dc) x3, (tr inc, tr) x2, (dc inc, dc) x3, hdc inc, hdc, sc inc, sc. Then sl st to the first sc in the round (36).
- Round 4: This last round is very forgiving and you can change the order of stitches for more variety in egg shapes if you would like, just make sure you end with 48 stitches.
- Sc inc, sc x2, hdc, dc inc, dc, hdc, sc inc, dc x2, tr inc, dc, hdc, sc inc, dc, tr, tr inc, tr, dc, hdc inc, sc, dc, dc inc, dc, hdc, sc inc, sc x2, sc inc, dc x2, sc inc, sc x2, dc inc, sc.
