Coaster

Comments: A good project for thread beginners!

Size : 5 1/4 " (13 cm) diameter

Material : Pearl cotton # 5, hook 1.7 mm (Boye steel#7), light blue; you can substitute with Cebelia #10 or equivalent cordonnet thread (but the gauge can slightly vary); you may want to give a look to my virtual store if you need materials.

Stitches : ch, sc, dc, tr, trsh= tr shell = (3 tr, 2 ch, 3 tr) in next space, trc = tr cluster = 3 tr closed together in next sp

Difficulty: easy

Directions

Start with 10 ch, join.

1. 24 tr in lp; join with sl st to first st.

2.*(dc in next tr ) 3 times, 3 ch* ; Repeat * to * 8 times; join with sl st to first st.

3. *trsh in next sp, 1 ch* ; Repeat * to * 8 times; join with sl st to first st.

4.*trsh in next trsh, 5 ch* ; Repeat * to * 8 times; join with sl st to first st.

5.*trsh in next trsh, 8 ch* ; Repeat * to * 8 times; join with sl st to first st.

6.*sc in next trsh sp, 5 ch, trc in the corresponding 1-ch sp on 3rd Row, taking in the stitc also the 8-ch sp in 5th Row and the 5-ch sp in 4th Row, 5 ch* ; Repeat * to * 8 times; join with sl st to first st.

7.* sc in shell sp , 6 dc in next 5-ch sp, 6 dc in next 5-ch sp* ; Repeat * to * 8 times; join with sl st to first st.

N.B.

Substitute ever (also if not explicitly said) first st in a row as follows:
- first sc with 1 ch, sc;
- first hdc with 2 ch;
- first dc with 3 ch;
- first tr with 4 ch...and so on;
When you read "sl st to <location>", where the location is not immediately contiguous to last st, this means of course "an appropriate number of sl sts for reaching <location>".
Also if I do not specify it, if you lasted prev row on a st (say st1), while you must start next row in another st (say st2), make an appropriate number of sl sts to reach st2.
