I love these coasters. I make sure the “body part is the size of a CD. I make two. For ex., for the bear, I made the back side of it completely blue. Stitched the two together (with CD inside) and finished off with legs and head as directed. It sturdier, but unfortunately it wouldn’t be washable.

Thanks again!

It’s not suppose to curl inwards, it should lay flat as a circle. If it curls in you may be missing stitches, making a round tighter than it should be.

Hi Aqua, if there’s a gap then it is possible that you are missing a dc on that round or the stitches are offset. Make sure that the first dc you made is actually in a dc not in the sl st, and count the stitches just to be sure that they are all there.

Everything goes well untill >>>Round 2: ch 3 / Round 3: ch 3
I’m very new to all this, but when I try and join the next round, there is always a gap, between the sl and the ch 3…
Without it falling into a spiral effect, the first 3 ch seems to “lie”down and “slop” and theres my gap!! I hope you understand what I’m trying to say.

Rachel, thanks for this idea on how to weave in ends easily. This has always been my LEAST favorite task while crocheting. I will use this in my work now. Thanks!

Hi Kari Jo, when a pattern tells you to count the ch 3 as a double crochet and there are suppose to be a total of 12 dc, there would actually be 11 dc plus the one ch-3. However, in this pattern, it does not tell you to count the ch-3 as a double crochet.

Does the ch 3 count as a dc? Would the first round consist of 11 dc plus the chain 3 or 12 dc plus the ch 3? And the same with round 2 and 3: 23 dc plus ch 3 or 24 dc plus ch 3; 35 dc plus ch 3 or 36 dc plus ch 3?
