    These are lovely coasters. I had actually made up some mini cotton coasters for cups and they were inspired by your coaster video tutorial 🙂

    I love your pattern! Question: I’m trying to make an even larger coaster. For each new row, should I continue doing 2 sets of trebles per open space below? This would be prior to the scalloped edge.

    Hello! Is there a typo at round 4? “6tr in same ch-2 sp”, should it be NEXT space that’s NOT the ch-2? I watches your video tutorial and that seems to be what’s being done. ?

    Hi I love these coasters such a pretty pattern. I was just wondering if you have a pattern for a square that is in the above picture with the coasters. Its the pale purple one under the iPad. It is so pretty and I would like to give it ago. Thank you for your beautiful creations I am looking forward to trying out more patterns.

    This pattern seems to be the one in this months Crochet Now – I followed this but my clusters came out skewed, I think because it says to do 6tr in the same 2ch-sp as the slip stitch which proceeds it. The video on this page looks like it’s the correct approach but that means the pattern written above and in Crochet Now is incorrect? Could you confirm please? Have just spent the past 15 mins scratching my head trying to work out why my coaster wasn’t looking the same as the picture! Thanks in advance.

    I loved making these coasters. It would be great if there was a companion pattern for place mats

    These coasters are so fun! Is there a way to make them waterproof or stiff? Would using starch on the finished product work? Curious what you would suggest. :-
