Notes
The size of my coaster is 8.5 x 8.0 cm. You will be working in rows. This pattern uses the lemon peel stitch. Photo instructions below show the main steps how to make this stitch. It is a repeat of one row. The size of the coaster can be easily adjusted by chaining more or less in the beginning (keep in mind that it should be an odd number of chains) and repeating row 2 until you will form a nice rectangle.
Pattern
Start by chaining 23 (you can adjust the size by chaining more or less, but it should be an odd number of chains).
Row 1: In the second chain from your hook make a sc (in the back of the chain). Then make a dc in the next st, *sc, dc*, rep * * until the end of the row.
Row 2: ch 1 (it does not count as a st), *sc, dc*, rep * * until the end of the row.
Row 3-18: repeat row 2.
Fasten off.

Row 1
1. Start by making a chain. It should have an odd number of chains. I chained 23. You will make a single crochet in the second chain from your hook.
2. So, insert your hook in the second chain from your hook (in the back of the chain).
3. Yarn over.
4. Pull the yarn through. Now you have two loops on your hook.
5. Yarn over.
6. Pull the yarn through both loops on your hook. You have just made a single crochet.
7. In the next stitch you will have to make a double crochet. So, yarn over.
8. Insert your hook in the next stitch (in the back of the chain).

15. Make a double crochet in the next stitch.
16. Keep alternating single and double crochets until the end of the row. Your last stitch should be a double crochet.
