{Pattern Instructions}

Round 1:   

ch 2 – 6 sc into the first chain stitch – sl st to form a ring (to tighten the ring, pull the loose yarn end)

Round 2:             

ch 2 – 2-dc cluster – *{3-dc cluster – ch 5}* around – sl st

Round 3:       

ch 1 – *{into chain spaces only: 3 sc – ch 3 – 3 sc – ch 2}* around  – sl st

Round 4:              

sl st into each of the next 3 sc – ch 1 – *{sc into the 3-chain space – ch 5 – 2-dc cluster into the 2-chain space – ch 5}* around – sl st

Round 5:

sl st into the chain space – ch 1- sc into the same chain space – *{5-dc shell into the 2-dc cluster – sc into the chain space – 3-dc shell into sc – sc° into the chain}* around – weave ends in

° Note: the last single crochet in this round should be replaced by a slip stitch into the first single crochet of the round to neatly finish the coaster off.
