For our very first Mini-Mystery Crochet Along (MMCAL) I chose a worsted weight cotton yarn from my stash. I used both Knit Picks Dishie Multi yarn and Red Heart Yarn's new Scrubby Smoothie for my samples. Several other worsted weight cotton yarns will work just as well.

Although, our MMCAL has ended, this free crochet pattern will be available for you here on the blog forever.

NOTES

I tend to crochet on the tighter side. You may need to go down a hook size (or two) to meet gauge if you crochet on the looser side.

Coaster Drink Coaster Instructions

Note: The coaster is worked in continuous rounds to keep from having an unsightly seam. Do not join at the end of each round, instead, use a scrap piece of yarn to keep track of the beginning of each round. Move the scrap of yarn up as you complete each round.

Designer Note: If you prefer beginning w/ a ch 2, sl st in the 2nd ch to form a ring, instead of a Magic Ring, you can certainly use that method with no issues.
