Baso Coaster Crochet Pattern

Materials:

Monaco mercerized thread (at least 3 colors: 1 solid color for the main coaster body, and 2 more colors for embellishment)

3.5mm crochet hook

Diameter of finished item is 4 inches.

Use 2 strands (double pull) of mercerized thread, crochet the following:

Magic Ring

  1. 14DC around magic ring. SS last DC to 1st DC
  2. [2DC in each stitch] x14. SS last DC to 1st DC
  3. [1DC on 1st stitch, 2DC on next stitch) x14. SS last DC to 1st DC
  4. [1DC on 1st stitch, 2DC on next stitch, 1DC next] x14. SS last DC to 1st DC
  5. Crab stitch or reverse SC on each stitch as edging. SS

If you want a bigger coaster, simply increase 14 stitches on each additional row until your desired measurement. 

To embellish the front part of the glass coaster, slip stitches on the surface:

  1. Use 1 strand of different color of mercerized thread, SS through the holes in between the rows. Or they call this style as “SURFACE CROCHET.” 
insert a loop from the back of the coaster
pull a loop on the next hole from the back
slip stitch

2. Tie the end of the yarns at the back when you’re done slip stitching all the holes.
