Guest Blogger Week 23 Mom With A Hook



I would like to say a huge welcome
to Sara
Thank you Susan for letting me guest post on your blog again. Last time I shared my tiny egg and pancake pattern and today I have a little coaster pattern to share. For more patterns just visit my crochet blog. 


A little about me - I'm Sara also known as Momwithahook, a mom of 2 boys and I started crocheting when pregnant with my last son. I enjoy crochet a lot - I blog about crochet, write articles about crochet and even wrote a wee eBook about crochet called Hooking for Cash. :) Enjoy.

Free Crochet Pattern: Picot Coaster

Supplies:
2 colors (yellow & cream) Caron 4-ply worsted weight
I - Hook
Tapestery Needle to sew in ends

Stitches Used: American Terms
ch - chain
sl st - slip stitch
sc - single crochet
sc increase - 2 sc in same stitch

Picot - chain 3, sl st in 3rd chain from hook












Work in a spiral do not join
Yellow
Start with a ch2, make 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook.
2sc in each stitch around (12 sc)
1sc in first stitch, increase in next stitch (repeat this pattern around) (18 sc)
1sc in 2 stitches, increase in next stitch (repeat this pattern around) (24 sc)
1sc in 4 stitches, increase in next stitch (repeat this pattern around) (30 sc)
sl st to first sc made, end off and weave in ends

This can easily be made smaller for a magnet or made in different colors with a little button at the center for a flower applique - use it how ever you wish.
