Crochet terms used

The instructions in Crochet Coasters and Table Decor Set use US terms: ch (chain), sl st (slip stitch), sc (single crochet), hdc (half double crochet), dc (double crochet), inc (two stitches in one), and dec (decrease). Counts in parentheses show the stitches expected after that row or round.

Coaster pattern

1. Round 1: Make 12 dc in a magic ring and join. (12)
2. Round 2: Ch 2, work 2 dc in every stitch, join. (24)
3. Round 3: Ch 2, repeat (dc, 2 dc in next stitch) around, join. (36)
4. Round 4: Ch 1, repeat (sc in 2 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch) around, join. (48)
5. Round 5: Repeat (skip 2 stitches, 5 dc in next stitch, skip 2 stitches, sl st in next stitch) exactly 8 times around. The eight repeats consume all 48 stitches.

Fasten off and wet-block to 11-12 cm. Make four or six. For a matching trivet, continue the flat-circle increase rule: add one more plain stitch between increases on every dc round until the circle measures 20 cm, then finish with the shell edge.

Tips & troubleshooting

Count at the shaping points

Place markers before every increase, decrease, join, or attachment in this pattern. Confirm each checkpoint stated in Crochet Coasters and Table Decor Set before moving forward because finishing cannot correct missing structural stitches.

Compare shape as well as count

Lay the work flat without stretching and compare paired pieces from the same viewing angle. Match the silhouette and measurements described in Crochet Coasters and Table Decor Set, rechecking a washed swatch before seaming fitted work.

Reinforce structural joins

Necks, handles, hanging points, hardware tabs, and baby-item attachments need more than one yarn pass. Reinforce every load-bearing join identified in Crochet Coasters and Table Decor Set, weave tails in two directions, and inspect the finished piece before use.
