Materials

• Yarn: any thin yarn will work. I used Järbo 8/4 100% Cotton Mercerized & Gassed 50 g, color: linen.
• Hook: as suggested on your yarn label. I used hook size 2.0.

Abbreviations (US terms)

• st: stitch
• ch: chain
• sc: single crochet
• dc: double crochet
• rep * *: repeat from * to *

Notes

The size of my coaster is 9.0 x 8.5 cm.

You will work in rows. This pattern uses the bobble stitch. Photo instructions below show the main steps how to make this stitch. It is a repeat of four rows. The size of the coaster can be easily adjusted by chaining more or less in the beginning (keep in mind that it should be a multiple of four plus three) and repeating rows 2-5 until you will form a nice rectangle.

Pattern

Start by chaining 27 (you can adjust the size by chaining more or less, but it should be a multiple of four plus three).

Row 1: In the fourth chain from your hook make a dc, dc in every st until the end of the row.

Row 2: ch 1 (does not count as a st), 2 sc in the next 2 st starting from the very first st, *bobble st (see photo instructions below), 3 sc in the next 3 st*, rep ** until the end of the row until you have 3 st left, bobble st in the next st, 2 sc in the last 2 st.

Row 3: ch 2 (does not count as a st), dc in every st starting from the very first st.

Row 4: ch 1 (does not count as a st), 4 sc in the next 4 st starting from the very first st, *bobble st (see photo instructions below), 3 sc in the next 3 st*, rep ** until the end of the row until you have 5 st left, bobble st in the next st, 4 sc in the last 4 st.

Row 5: ch 2 (does not count as a st), dc in every st starting from the very first st.

Row 6-17: repeat rows 2-5.

Fasten off.
