Other
notes: I used Scheepjes Cahlista to make my coasters, in colours, Lime,
snow White and Cyan, but you can use any cotton Aran / worsted weight yarn to
make yours.
Fasten off after each round
and use the photos as a guide to changing colours. Join new colours with a sl st and if at the
end of a round you wish to continue with the same colour sl st into next sp to
begin round.
I like to replace the ch3
at the start of a round with a chainless dc, you can do this if you wish or
just use the traditional ch3.
