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 the main steps 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 will 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.

3. Continue making single crochets in every stitch until the end of the row.

4. At the end of the row chain two.

6. Make a half double crochet in the second stitch.

7. Then make one more half double crochet in the same stitch.

8. Skip one stitch and make two half double crochets in the next stitch.

9. Continue making two half double crochets in every second stitch until the end of the row until your have one stitch left.

10. Make a half double crochet in the last stitch of the row.
