Free Pattern - Borage Flower Coaster



Level: 
Easy Intermediate

Size:
5 inch/12.7 cm diameter

Materials:
  • 32 yds/30 m of size 10 crochet thread per coaster
    • I used Artiste Mercerized Egyptian Cotton 10 in Eggnog

    • Note: Use a hook based on your tension with size 10 thread. My tension is a bit tight. If it's loose, use a 1.75 or 2.00 mm hook.
  • Scissors and darning needle to sew in ends
  • Stitch Markers (optional)

Notes:
  • This pattern uses American English Crochet Terminology
  • Pattern repeats are in *BOLD*
  • "Join" means to SLST in 1st stitch of round.
  • Chainless crochet stitches (CSDC) count as the 1st stitch of a round when used.
  • On my blog are some tutorials for the more complex stitches
