Please link to the main page at Becky's Touch of Crochet BEGINNER'S COTTON COASTER (Teaches increase in rounds) by Becky R. Materials: 1 ball of Peaches-N-Cream OR Sugar-N-Cream OR Southmaid 8 cotton yarn and a size F (3.75 mm) hook Stitches Used: ch (chain stitch), sc (single crochet), sl st (slip stitch), dc (double crochet) Directions: To begin, ch 2. 1st RND (round): 6 sc (single crochet) in 2nd (second) ch (chain) from hook. This will form a circle. (Do not join the rounds, use a contrasting piece of yarn to mark beginning of each round.) 2nd RND (round): 2 sc (single crochet) in each sc (single crochet) around (12 sc in the rnd.) 3rd RND (round): * Sc (single crochet) in next sc (single crochet), 2 sc (single crochet) in next sc (single crochet); this makes an increase of 1 sc. Repeat from * to end of round. 4th RND (round): * Sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc (increase). Repeat from * to end of round. 5th RND: * Sc in nex 3 sc, 2 sc in next (increase). Repeat from * to end of round. 6th to 8th RNDs inclusive: Work as for 5th rnd, (for help use chart below) always making 1 sc more on each rnd between each increase. There should be 48 sc on the 8th rnd. EDGING: 9th RND: Sl st (slip stitch) in next sc. Ch 3, in same place where sl st (slip stitch) was made, make dc (double crochet), ch 1), and 2 dc (double crochet), this completes a shell. * Skip 3 sc on 8th rnd and make 2 dc (double crochet) in next sc, ch 1 (chain 1), 2 dc (double crochet) in same place as last 2 dc (double crochet), another shell made. Repeat from * to end of round. Join last shell to first shell by making a sl st (slip stitch) in 3rd (third) ch (chain) of ch-3 first made. Fasten off, weave in ends. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CHART OF STITCHES IN EACH ROUND Each round increases by 6 stitches Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc = 12 sc Rnd 3: 1 sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc = 18 sc Rnd 4: 1 sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc = 24 sc Rnd 5: 1 sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc = 30 sc Rnd 6: 1 sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc = 36 sc Rnd 7: 1 sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc = 42 sc Rnd 8: 1 sc in next 6 sc, 2 sc in next sc = 48 sc ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This model was made for me by my son 13 years ago!
