Crochet Pattern: Extra Large Coaster
Do you have one of those super big cups that holds a ton of coffee (or whatever it is that you drink)? If so, I bet those tiny standard sized coasters just don’t work for you. So here is the extra large coaster pattern, made just for you and your ginormous cup! If this doesn’t work for your cup, I don’t know what will.

 |
Finished Size: 5 1/2″ (14 cm) in diameter
|
Materials: Medium Weight Yarn (approximately 25 yards of main color and small amount of contrasting color) Note: if you intend to you this coaster as a hot pad or trivet, do not use acrylic yarn, since it may melt. Crochet Hook I (5.50 mm) |
 |
Gauge: not that important for this pattern.

I love this, thanx Rachel. This is really useful for me and my ginormous green mug lol (*.*) which I love. A skinny coaster just won’t do.

what does “12 ch from hook” mean? am i to just continue it around my ch4 or am i supposed to create a somewhat second layer?
After you chain 4, you are going to make 12 double crochets in the forth chain from your hook (which is also the first chain you made). That’s what the “12 dc in forth ch from hook” is telling you to do.
