Waffle Stitch Coaster Pattern

Pattern Notes

The beginning chain counts as your first dc.
FPdc stitch: You don’t work into the top loops of the stitch like you normally would. Instead, you will work around the post (the vertical part) of the stitch from the front side. This creates a raised effect on the front side of the fabric.

Row 1: Ch 20, dc in 4th ch from hook and in each rem ch, ch 3 and turn.

Row 2: *FPdc in next st, dc in next 2 sts, repeat from * to last 2 sts where you will work a FPdc in the next st and a dc in the ch sp. Ch 3 and turn.

Row 3: *dc in next st, FPdc in next 2 sts, repeat from * to last 2 sts where you will work a dc in the next st and a dc in the ch sp. Ch 3 and turn.

Row 4: Repeat row 2.

Row 5: Repeat row 3.

Row 6: Repeat row 2.

Row 7: Repeat row 3.

Row 8: Repeat row 2.

Row 9: Repeat row 3. Do not make a chain at the end of the row. Instead, fasten off and weave in your ends.

C2C Stitch Coaster Pattern

Pattern Notes

Corner to corner (c2c) crochet is a technique where you crochet “squares” in diagonal rows. You start in the bottom right corner and end in the top left corner.
You will begin decreasing at the beginning of row 7.

Row 1: Ch 6, dc in 4th ch from hook and in each rem ch, ch 6 and turn. (1 square)

Row 2: dc in 4th ch from hook and in each rem ch, join with a sl st to the ch sp in the square from row 1, ch 3 + 3 dc, ch 6 and turn. (2 squares)

Row 3: dc in 4th ch from hook and in each rem ch, join with a sl st to the first ch sp, ch 3 + 3 dc, join with a sl st to the last ch sp, ch 3 + 3 dc, chain 6 and turn. (3 squares)

Row 4: dc in 4th ch from hook and in each rem ch, join with a sl st to the first ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc, join with a sl st to the next ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc, join with a sl st to the last ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc, chain 6 and turn. (4 squares)

Row 5: dc in 4th ch from hook and in each rem ch, join with a sl st to the first ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc, [join with a sl st to the next ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc] 2 times, join with a sl st to the last ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc, chain 6 and turn. (5 squares)

Row 6: dc in 4th ch from hook and in each rem ch, join with a sl st to the first ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc, [join with a sl st to the next ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc] 3 times, join with a sl st to the last ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc, turn. (6 squares)

You will now begin your decrease rows.

Row 7: Slip stitch across the tops of the 3 dc’s from the last square made, join with a sl st to the first ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc, [join with a sl st to the next ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc] 3 times, join with a sl st to the last ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc, turn. (5 squares)

Row 8: Slip stitch across the tops of the 3 dc’s from the last square made, join with a sl st to the first ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc, [join with a sl st to the next ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc] 2 times, join with a sl st to the last ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc, turn. (4 squares)

Row 9: Slip stitch across the tops of the 3 dc’s from the last square made, join with a sl st to the first ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc, join with a sl st to the next ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc, join with a sl st to the last ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc, turn. (3 squares)

Row 10: Slip stitch across the tops of the 3 dc’s from the last square made, join with a sl st to the first ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc, join with a sl st to the last ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc, turn. (2 squares)

Row 11: Slip stitch across the tops of the 3 dc’s from the last square made, join with a sl st to the first ch sp and ch 3 + 3 dc, join with a sl st to the last ch sp. (1 square)

Do not fasten off. You will now make the border.

Border: ch 1, work 2 sc in the side of each square and in each corner you will work sc, ch 1, sc.

Pattern Notes

Make all single crochet stitches in the chain spaces beginning in row 2.
