Meadowlark Coasters Crochet Pattern
Crochet accents add such a creative flair to any room, which is why I’ll never get tired of working up small and large projects alike to use and display in my home. Being able to create something with your own two hands that you can use in your daily life is such a wonderful thing, don’t you think?
Whether it’s a cabled throw cushion cover for your favorite wingback chair, or an extra chunky and whimsical woodland moss basket to store your yarn in, every maker needs some fun new projects to try out!

Oh, Oh, Oh, the yarn with your PATTERNS !! (WOW) I have just looked at your patterns ( & UNLESS I WIN THE LOTTERY ) I am going to have to narrow it down to 10, if I was luck enough to WIN !! THE Scarves, the Hats, the Stoles,oh My ! Christmas is coming, my income is fixed, & this would Save the Day ( Heck- I'd be a HERO !) LOVE your DESIGNS, as you can tell–Please Keep it Coming !!!!!
With the Meadowlark coasters are you supposed to start with a magic circle or chain ring before doing the 1dc2tog in round 1? I can't work out how you get 6 stitches after round 1. If you follow the instructions you have to be working in the chain but cannot correctly do the 2dctog. My first round looks nothing like the photo, I can't get past the first stitch. Thank you in advance
I love this pattern and this is what I figured out. Start with a chain 6, then connect with a slip stitch to make a circle. Then continue with round 1: ch2. *1 dc2tog in same first stitch (not 2 stitches), ch2. *repeat this for the next 5st. Sl st to top of first ch2 and finish off. This worked for me. Olivia if this is not correct, I apologize and please correct me.
Amazing coasters. However round 1 instructions are not correct and not usable. Please let me know how to do this? Begin with chain of 6 or magic loop?
Beautiful! Thank you very much for sharing.
