Frequently asked questions
Why is my coaster wavy?
Waves mean your double crochet is looser than the pattern gauge. Try a 4 mm hook, or work Round 4 with a 4 mm hook.
Can I make a set in different colours?
Yes. Change colour at the start of any round by fastening off and joining the new colour with a slip stitch.
