Crochet coaster Prairie
Materials
- Yarn: I use DIAMOND 8/4 mercerized cotton 100% 50 g. Color: 3304 (lilac). However, any thin cotton yarn will work.
- Hook: I use a 2.0 mm hook. If you are using a different yarn, choose the hook size that is recommended on your yarn label.
Abbreviations (US terms)
- st: stitch
- ch: chain
- sc: single crochet
- hdc: half double crochet
- rep * *: repeat from * to *
Notes
The size of my coaster is 8.0 x 7.5 cm.
You will work in rows. This pattern uses the prairie stitch. Photo instructions below show how to make this stitch. It is a repeat of two 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 any even number of chains) and repeating rows 2-3 until you form a nice rectangle.
Pattern
Start by chaining 26 (you can adjust the size by chaining more or less, but it should be an even number of chains).
Row 1: In the second chain from your hook make a sc, sc in every st until the end of the row.
Row 2: ch 2, 2 hdc in the next st, *skip 1 st, 2 hdc in the next st*, rep ** until the end of the row until you have 1 st left, hdc in the last st.
Row 3: ch 1 (does not count as a st), sc in every st starting from the very first st.
Row 4-19: repeat rows 2-3.
Fasten off.
