This set of 4 coasters combines double knitting with double stranding (k2tog).

It has 4 easy to read hand colored charts, and written instructions for the basic one.

Three of the charts are based on the same design, just colored differently.
The 4th is slightly different.

There are so many variations you can do:

  • use the knit instead of purl for the front side
  • switch the main color
  • alternate these 2 options (k rs with black as mc, then p rs with white as mc) and so on.

If you want to make them as Xmas gifts, again there is enough to go around without making any 2 the same:

  • use different colors
  • make a set made of just 1 chart, done in different colors (that will give you extra 4 different sets).

Mainly, i hope you’ll have fun with it.
Skill level: intermediate in double knitting
Time: between 1 to 3 hours per coaster, depending on your double knitting skill.
