Chain 31. <br />
<br />
Note: Leave a long tail if you want to use it to make a loop for a button to close the wrist part.<br />
<br />
Rows 1-8:<br />
(30 sc, chain 1, turn ) 8x<br />
End of Row 8, slst to connect first to last sc.<br />
<br />
Row 9: (2 sc, 4 sc) 6x, slst to first sc. (36 sts total)<br />
<br />
Row 10: Chain 2, dc in sc, (dc in next sc, chain 1, skip sc) 17x, <br />
dc in last sc. slst in first dc.<br />

You put your glass down, and when you go to pick it up, you've forgotten which one it was.<br /><br />Well, with these coasters you won't have that problem anymore (I hope). Make a set with different colors (or combinations of colors) and everyone will be able to have one just for their glass.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://sites.google.com/site/tibbispace/Home/pattern-cabinet/idwineglasscoaster_dbl.pdf?attredirects=0"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 216px; height: 319px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWvqeS73htXe73NrN6fdYCEv3-TQBp4r4-SKmNEzPzuHMrj2rt4qgFBJrszHqkzQT9KcmvY2us2ISoWQ4A0vOq4KUV9l_zVFb6eO8TiaunCIAXtkhexHfJvHytnHHxpUz7hyphenhyphenSKWa8i6Jv-/s200/idwineglasscoaster_dbl.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274291588378239170" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Clicking on the pattern's cover will download the doubled sided pdf (160kb).

(42 sc) (7 sc in each section)<br /><br />Test the first one you make against a wine glass to check for size. You might need to add or subtract a round depending on the yarn and/or hook you use. Also there could be a difference depending how tightly you crochet.<br /><br />Sl st last chain into first sc of the round. Ch1.<br /><br />Round 7: 1 sc in each sc, FLO. (42 sc). Bind off. Weave in ends.<br /><br />It might be a good idea to place a piece of yarn, or stitch marker) every 7th stitch, starting with the 1st stitch (1, 8, etc) for doing the crossing chains next.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Add in crossing chains</span><br /><br />You will be skipping around the edge of the coaster, in the direction that you crochet. Right or Left depending on your handiness.<br /><br />Sl st into the 2nd stitch of the last round. Sc in the next 12 sts (st#14), Ch14.<br /><br />Count over 21sts.

(Consider weaving over/under here)<br />You should be back at the start.<br />Next, sc into each of the 42 st of the crossing chain row. Slst into 1st st.<br /><br />Bind off, weave in ends.<br /><br />Variations: Slst instead of sc for last round of crossing chain. So you can use BLO or FLO.<br /><br />If you have done one less, or more, rows in the coaster you will need to adjust the number of stitches between the markers.itibbihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18066028822589414187noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73453771069767822.post-79801759203561789272008-09-27T13:17:00.001-07:002008-11-29T19:32:48.597-08:00Double Seeded Moss Dishcloth<span style="line-height:1.7em;;font-family:georgia;font-size:1.5em;">My first pattern.
