Tips

• To make a larger coaster or small placemat, continue increasing rounds following the established pattern before working straight rounds.
• Use a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round to help keep track, especially if you are not joining with a slip stitch.
• Check your gauge! While not critical for a coaster, matching the gauge will ensure your finished item is the intended size.
