Download the Project 3 PDF
For our 3rd Project for Crocheting 101, we’ll be playing around with increases and working in the Round to make these coasters.
In this project, we’ll also be dipping our toes into how to read patterns, which are basically the blue prints to a project. In patterns we often use abbreviations for stitches to make it easier to write and read.
The Materials
• Yarn: Worsted Weight Cotton
• Hook: Size G6 / 4.00mm
• Other: Scissors and a Needle to sew in ends
* Optional: A Stitch Marker
– You can also use a spare thread too
The Stitches
• Ch = Chain Stitch (Chapter 2)
• St = Stitch
• Sc = Single Crochet (Chapter 3)
• Inc = Increase (Chapter 4)
We’ll also be using this new stitch called a Slip Stitch (‘Sl.st’ for short), I’ll be going over it when we get there. We’ll go over the detailed instructions for a slip stitch in Chapter 10.
