Notes

• Read the pattern carefully before starting.
• This pattern uses US crochet terms.
• This is a very simple pattern worked in the round.
• The gauge for this pattern is not particularly crucial. You can change the yarn weight and hook size to make your coaster larger or smaller.
• The beginning ch 1 and 2 do not count as a stitch.
• * * Repeat instructions between asterisks as many times as directed or repeat at specified locations.
• The number of stitches in each row is indicated by the numbers at the end of the row.
• I recommend using a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each row so you will not miss it. Remember to move the stitch marker as you progress.
