Crochet Coaster


I use 100% cotton yarn.


G or H hook


Crochet Pattern: Cool Coasters
Beginning ch 3 counts as 1 dc throughout pattern.
Round 1: ch 4, 11 dc in fourth ch from hook, sl st in top of beginning ch-4: 12 dc


Round 2: ch 3, dc in sl st, 2 dc in each dc around, join with sl st in beginning ch-3: 24 dc


Round 3: ch 3, dc in sl st, (dc in next dc, 2 dc in next dc) around, join with a sl st in beginning ch-3: 36 dc


Round 4: (skip next dc, 5 dc in next dc, skip next dc, sl st in next dc) around: 45 dc, 9 sl st
Finish off, make it pretty!

Crochet Flowers

Crochet Flowers:

I use these type flowers for a lot of crochet projects, such as hats, headbands, just about anything!

The purple rose in the middle, will take me a while to right out the pattern, but for the smaller flat ones they are easy!

Enjoy:

Use G or H hook (depending on what size flower you want) - the yellow one was done with H and the red one done with G

Yarn - You can use almost any type of yarn, for my flowers I typically use what I have in my stash.

Ch 6
Join with slip stich
Chain 3
3 DC in next st
sl st in next st

Repeat this all the way around, you should end up with five petals (the three DC in a st).

If you have any questions, please let me know.  I am not great with writing out a pattern.

Thanks!

Crochet Dishrag Pattern

This is a pattern that my grandmother taught me, it is very simple.  Enjoy!

Material - I use 100% cotton yarn

Hook Size - G or H

Chain 21

1 dc in second chain from hook
continue dc in each st
At end of each row, chain 2 (this does not count as a st) turn work
dc in each st for twelve rows

Almost done!

Finishing:

After your last row, sc 2 times in top edge, continue to sc all the way around your dish cloth.

You are done!

Unless you want to add one more piece of edging, which makes it look nicer:

After you have completed a sc all the way around, simply do a sc in back loop only all the way around.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
