Tip:

Use a mercerized cotton yarn to achieve a durable finish and maintain the coasters’ shape after multiple washes.

Materials Needed:

• Bernat Handicrafter Cotton Yarn (double stranded)
• 5 mm crochet hook
• Scissors
• Yarn needle
• Stitch markers
• Cardboard for making fringe (optional)

Abbreviations:

• ch – chain,
• hdc – half double crochet

Pattern:

Splitting Yarn:

• Split your 50 g balls of Bernat Handicrafter Cotton yarn into two to create double strands.

Starting Chain:

• Make a slip knot, ch 13. (The 13th ch is for turning, your working rows will consist of 12 sts).

Foundation Row (Row 1):

• Start in the second ch from the hook.
• Work in the third loop of the chain (the horizontal bar at the back) to create a nicer edge.
• Hdc across for a total of 12 hdc.

Turning:

• Ch 1 at the end of the row (do this for every row), then turn your work like turning a page.

Rows 2-8:

• Hdc in each st across (12 sts), placing stitch markers at the end of each row to mark your work.

Color Changes:

• If you have finished a stripe and need to change colors, do so on the last yarn over of the last hdc of the row.
• Cut the yarn leaving a tail long enough for weaving in.
• Start the next color with a ch 1 and turn your work.

Fringe (Optional):

• Cut a piece of cardboard 2 inches tall. Wrap the yarn around it to create 4-inch long pieces (which become 2 inches when folded).
• Fold the yarn in half to form a loop, place your hook from back to front through an edge stitch of the coaster.
• Pull the loop through, then the yarn ends through the loop, and tighten to attach the fringe.
• Apply this technique evenly along the sides of the coaster using alternative colors as desired.

Finishing Fringe:

• Use a needle to separate the plies of the yarn in each fringe.
• Brush out each fringe with a fine-toothed comb, metal brush, or pet brush for a fluffy appearance.
• Trim the fringes evenly with scissors.

Finishing:

• Weave in the ends with a yarn needle.
• Shape the coaster gently by stretching and adjusting its form if necessary.
