This seamless coaster is worked using magic loop or DPN’s in two-colour Brioche from the centre out, from a single loop cast-on start.

A set of these coasters in matching colours to your favourite teapot cosy (see my Zipper-top, Tie-top or Lilliana Tea Pot Cosy’s) looks irresistible and make the most delightful knitted gifts for the tea lover in your life.

The Coaster is worked by increasing stitches in the round from the centre out. The cast-on is similar to a pinhole cast-on (but easier I think!) and a video is included showing the technique. You can use Magic loop or DPN’s. The stitch count increases every second row until the coaster measures approximately 10cm/4in in diameter, before binding off.
