• All stitches are worked through both loops.
• Finished size may vary depending on tension and yarn used. I recommend using the hook size stated on your chosen yarn.
• The number shown in brackets at the end of each row instruction indicates the number of stitches you should have. Example: (12 sts) = 12 stitches
• The coaster is worked in the round, do not turn your work.
