Stella Motif

STELLA

Motif/Coaster

Comments: Stella means star, and this is another nice-and-easy star motif. Sorry, when I scanned the sample it moved, and this reflects on quality.

Size :16.5 cm diameter (6 1/2 inches)

Material :Pearl cotton # 5, hook 1.5 mm (Bates steel #9) ; you can substitute with Cebelia #10 or equivalent cordonnet thread (but the gauge can slightly vary)

Stitches :ch, sl st, sc, dc,tr, picot = 4 ch, sl st in first ch

Difficulty: easy to medium

Directions

Start with 12 ch, join;

1. 30 tr in lp; join with sl st in first st.

2. *sc on next tr, 5 ch, sk 2 tr* ; Repeat from * to * 10 times ; join with sl st in first st.

3. sl st in 5-ch sp, *(4 tr, 3 ch, 4 tr) in sp, 1 ch* ; Repeat from * to * 10 times ; join with sl st in first st.

4. sl st in 3-ch sp, *(4 tr, 4 ch, 4 tr) in sp, sc in 1-ch space* ; Repeat from * to * 10 times ; join with sl st in first st. Cut thread.

5. Join thread in 4-ch sp, *sc in next sp, 12 ch* ; Repeat from * to * 10 times ; join with sl st in first st.

6. sl st in sp, *17 dc in next sp, 1 ch* ; Repeat from * to * 10 times ; join with sl st in first st.

7. do a crab sc ( a right-to-left sc) to go back in 1-ch sp, *sc in next 1-ch sp, 7 ch, sc in 9-th dc of 17-dc grp, 7 ch* ; Repeat from * to * 10 times ; join with sl st in first st.

8. sl st in 7-ch sp, *(4 tr, 3 ch, 4 tr) in next sp, 1 ch * ; Repeat from * to * 20 times ; join with sl st in first st.

9. crab st to go back in last 1-ch sp, * sc in next 1-ch sp, (4 tr, picot, 4 tr) in next 3-ch sp* ; Repeat from * to * 20 times ; join with sl st in first st. Cut thread, weave in ends.

N.B.

Always substitute (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.
