Tear Drop Coaster

 



It drew my attention with this beautiful leaf placemat from https://vk.com/wall-167264317_14892?z=photo-167264317_457262338%2Fwall-167264317_14892


However, I don’t have the need to make this big size product.  Therefore I decided to modify it

to be a coaster.  I also add a border with reverse single stitches using the contrast color thread.


Material:

Thread: Two colors of classic thread #10.

Light color (LC): antique white

Dark color (DC): poppy red


Hook: 1.5mm (#7) crochet hook


Final size:

From the top to the bottom: 6.5”

The widest part: 5”

For the life of me, I could not figure out the correct connecting instruction.  So I decided to make my own. I noticed that each fan pattern consists of 16 double stitches with 1 chain stitch in between 2  double stitches.  So if I made them as one unit before the joining, it would make my life much simpler and easier. I decided to make 1 single stitch at the ch-1 space.  I also added 1 single stitch with picot at the double stitch from the previous row except the LAST double stitch crocheting only with 1 single  stitch f
