This flower coaster is so pretty, make in multiple colors for spring. pattern is quick. TY
Thanks Susan! I’m so glad that you like the pattern, it really means a lot to me 🙂
I just love your creations! This is a neat idea to make matching coasters and centerpiece from the mandala.
Thank you Elen! Your table will definitely be decorated for spring if you made the matching set.
I’m looking for a mandala pattern I can work up in 4ply. This little coaster could be a mini pocket mandala. Can the Lilac Trellis Mandela be made with 4 ply or kitchen cotton?
Yes! If you crochet it with #4 yarn it will turn out larger.
What does this part mean? sl st in third ch of beginning ch-4: 12 dc
Hi Val,
You will make a slip stitch into the third chain of the chain 4 that you made at the very beginning of the round. When you are done the round you will have a total of 12 double crochets.
Thanks, Rachel!
