Man Coasters - An Adventure in Coaster Making - October 2011

So, Justin is prayer leader of the church's men's ministry and has decided that he wants to host a few events, including a breakfast (upcoming).  One of the things I realized is that we don't have enough coasters for the number of guys they want to have in attendance.  With this in mind I grabbed my yarn and a Tunisian crochet hook and got cracking.  I have only made 8 squares and 1 circle so far, but there will be more (for future events).  The circle one was an experiment to see how it would work out.


For the circle, (round 1) chain 5, slip stitch together, (round 2) chain 3, through the center double crochet 14, connect with slip stitch, (round 3) chain 3, double crochet 22 [increase evenly throughout the round each time], connect with slip stitch, (round 4) chain 3, double crochet 32, connect with slip stitch, (round 5) chain 3, double crochet 42, connect with slip stitch, (round 6) chain 3, double crochet 54, connect with slip stitch, cut yarn, tie in ends.

For the squares, use the basic Tunisian stitch.  It is 20 stitches across and 18 vertical bars (rows) plus the casting off row.

I hope this inspired you today!

Blessings!!!!
