Notes
The size of my coaster is 8.5 x 8.0 cm. You will work 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: sc in the 2nd ch from your hook, dc in the next st, *sc in the next st, dc in the next st*, rep ** until the end of the row.
Row 2: ch 1 (does not count as a st), sc in the 1st st, dc in the next st *sc in the next st, dc in the next st*, rep ** until the end of the row.
Row 3-18: repeat row 2.
Fasten off.
