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.
