While sitting in the caravan on my holiday I did manage to get in a bit of hooky time and made some pretty little coasters to brighten up lunch time.
I had taken lots of small balls of stylecraft DK that was left over from my ripple blanket and my trusty 4mm hook.
Start with ch4, join with a slst to form a ring.
R1, ch3 (ch3 counts as a tr throughout) 11tr into the ring. Join with a slst at top of ch3.
R2, ch3, make a tr in st at the base of the ch3, 2tr in each st around. Join with a slst at top of ch3.
R3, ch3, 2tr in next st *1tr in next st, 2tr in next st** repeat around from * to**. Join with a slst at top of ch3 and change to 2nd colour.
R4, ch3, 1tr in next st, 2tr in next st, *1tr in next 2st 2tr in next st** repeat around from * to **. Join with a slst at top of ch3.
R5, ch3, 1tr in next 2st, 2tr in next st, *1tr in next 3st, 2tr in next st** repeat around from * to **. Join with a slst at top of ch3.
R6, * ch6, miss 4st, slst into next st** repeat around from * to **.
R7, work 1dc into 1st and 2nd st of the ch6, 2dc into the next 2st, 1dc into last 2st. Repeat in each of the ch6 sections. Join with a slst and finish. Weave in all ends.
I love these coasters because they work up quickly and brighten up any table.
