Notes and Tips

This pattern is written using US crochet terms
The number in (parentheses) at the end of each row is the stitch count after finishing that row
Italicized notes tell you what to change to adjust the size
The chain 2 at the beginning of each round does NOT count as a double crochet
The slip stitch at the end of each round goes into the first stitch of that round
The first stitch of every new round goes into the same stitch we slip stitched to in the previous round

Crochet Coaster Pattern

Increasing Coaster Size

Foundation: Make a slipknot, ch3

Round 1: dc12 in 3rd ch from hook, sl st (12)

Round 2: ch2, inc around, sl st (24)

Round 3: ch2, rep[dc, inc] around, sl st (36)

Note: For a bigger coaster, continue increasing the size of the circle by adding rounds with another dc before the inc. For example, Round 4: ch2, rep[dc in next 2 st, inc] around, sl st (48) and Round 5: ch2, rep[dc in next 3 st, inc] around, sl st (60).
