The final round adds a decorative scalloped edge by alternating between double crochets and a slip stitch in the chain spaces.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Creating the Foundation Ring

  • Start with a slip knot and chain six.
  • Join the chain into a circle using a slip stitch in the first chain.
  • Adjust the ring as needed for size and tightness.

Step 2: First Round – Double Crochets

  • Begin the round with a chain of three, counting it as the first double crochet (in UK terms, this is referred to as “treble crochet”).
  • Work double crochets into the center ring. Ensure the required number of double crochets are evenly distributed around the circle.
  • Close the round by slip stitching into the top of the beginning chain.

Step 3: Second Round – Introducing Chains

  • Chain three to begin, and add double crochets in the next few stitches (one double crochet per stitch across the row).
  • Create a chain space by chaining two, then continue double crochets in subsequent stitches.
  • The pattern alternates between double crochets and chain spaces, which help define the next layer of the design.
  • Complete the round by slip stitching into the top of the beginning chain.

Step 4: Third Round – Building On The Chain Spaces

  • Chain three to start and work directly into the chain spaces from the previous round without working into the double crochet stitches.
  • For each chain space:
    • Work two double crochets, followed by two chains, and then two more double crochets in the same space to build the next layer.
  • This repeats all the way around, skipping over the double crochets and only working into the chain spaces.
  • Finish the round with a slip stitch.

Step 5: Final Round – Creating Scalloped Edges

  • Chain three, then work directly into the chain spaces to form the scallops.
  • For each scallop:
    • Work a series of six double crochets into the same chain space.
    • Slip stitch into the next chain space to secure.
  • Repeat the six double crochet scallops in every chain space until the end of the round.
  • The final scallop connects with the starting chain using a slip stitch.

Finishing the Pattern

  • Cut the yarn, leaving a small tail for weaving. Secure the project by chaining one and pulling the yarn tightly.
  • Use a yarn needle or hook to weave in the ends neatly.
  • The completed project features elegant scalloped edges and serves as a sturdy, functional coaster or doily.

Tips and Remarks

  • The use of 6-ply yarn creates a stiffer and thicker coaster, suitable as a table mat or placemat.
  • Experiment with different yarn types and thicknesses for varying finishes and sizes.
  • Beginners can find additional tutorials linked in the description for specific stitches like double crochets.

Conclusion

  • The tutorial provides clear and easy-to-follow instructions for creating a quick, beautiful, and functional design.
  • The final product is versatile and can be used for a variety of purposes.
