Material List

-One skein of Lily Sugar ‘n Cream cotton yarn. (I used soft ecru). This is for 2 coasters and one potholder.

–Yarn Darner

-Scissors

-G- 4.00 mm sized Crochet Hook

Stitches Used/Abbreviations

-ch- Chain

-sc- Single Crochet

-slst- Slip Stitch

-bo – bobble *
* -Yarn over, insert hook into stitch, yo and pull through (three loops on hook), Yo and pull through 2 of the loops.

-Repeat the previous step 3 more times so that you have 4 not-quite-complete dc stitches worked into the same stitch.

-There will be 5 loops on the hook. Yo and pull through all 5 loops to finish!

-mr- Magic Ring

Notes

– The first part is the coaster, and you can either stop there , or continue on to make a potholder.

-Fringe is optional, but I think it adds to the final product!

– Ch 1 does NOT count as a st.

-Ch 2 does NOT count as a st.

-On rounds 7 and 14, make the sc’s after each bobble VERY tight – The single crochet that follows the bobble helps push the bobble towards the front, and is what gives it the texture and shape that it has!

Fringe!

(You can cut them as long as you like!)

Fringe for the coaster:

Cut 40 pieces of yarn that are 2.5 inches long. Thread 1 piece through one sc. Continue this until you have a piece of fringe on each SC. (Total of 40).

Fringe for the potholder:

Cut 80 pieces of yarn that are 3.5 inches long. Thread 1 piece through one sc. Continue this until you have a piece of fringe on each SC. (Total of 80).

Go around the edges of the fringe with scissors when you are done to even it out (If necessary).

Lastly, brush the fringe out a bit to separate the threads in the yarn.
