Notes

4.5mm needles? Just the coaster size… hopefully will make a mat for my tea pots etc.

Just finished round 14. Something tells me this is going to be a coffee table decorator, not a teapot mat. The yarn change was too big… Maybe going to look for crochet cotton or 4ply from Bendi.

Just finished round 18. Tied knot for join, will work out what to do with it later.

I did something wrong in the crochet bind off, or at least I think I did. I can’t really pick it when I was pinning it out, and I’m not unpicking the bind off so it can just be vaguely wonky. Definitely going to need a bigger teapot!

Used 4.5mm hook.

No beautiful points… they all fell out after I released the pins. But oh well, I ironed it flat and hopefully that will be enough blocking. Not sure what I’m going to use this for… it’s certainly far too big for my teapot!
