Rope Coasters

Rope Coasters Pattern

This week on Ask Me Monday, I show how to create circles using rope and crochet which can be used as a base of a basket or for our project,  Rope Coasters. In this tutorial, I show how to create the center ring to begin the circle, how to join the rope and crochet around it, how to crochet in a spiral, and how to create a sweet, bobble edging. Watch the tutorial, then follow the pattern below to make this week’s project!

Insert hook into next stitch (counts as sc), YO over rope, sc over rope in next st, *2sc over rope in next st, sc over rope in next st; rep from * around spiral to marker. Do not join. Pull rope so it’s buried under stitches — 12 sts

Spiral Round 3: Continue around spiral as follows: *2sc over rope in next st, sc over rope in next 2 sts; rep from * around spiral to marker. Do not join. — 18 sts
