Remember my Colour Pop Coasters? Well my parents bought me some yarn to make some bunting for them, but it wasn't quite the right shade. As they said I may as well keep it, I thought I would make them something with it. It was the same yarn I used for the the Colour Pop Coasters, so I made them a set of those along with a pot to keep them in.
So I thought I would share the pattern for the pot here! This will store six of the Colour Pop Coasters, and you can find the pattern for them here
Pattern in UK Terminology
Hook - 5mm
Yarn
Cotton Aran in whatever colours you wish to use.
I used Lily Sugar 'n Cream in:-
Yarn A - Solids in Pretty in Pink
Yarn B - Ombres in Psychedelic Ombre
For the Coasters I used Solids Pretty in Pink, Sunshine and Hot Purple with the Ombre Psychedelic for the edging.
There are some gorgeous ombre shades in the range you could have a lot of fun making different colour palettes!
Measurements
The coaster pot measures 11cm (4.5in) across and 5cm (2in) tall
Special Stitches
This pattern uses the Reverse DC stitch which is also know as the Crab Stitch. I find this gives a nice finish to edges but of course if you prefer you could always work another dc round or sl st around. The stitch is worked as followed..
Reverse
dc - Insert the hook, from
front to back, in the next stitch to the right, yrh and draw the yarn through
the stitch, yrh and draw the yarn through the 2 loops on the hook
Pattern Notes
Unless specified you will always work into the next st. For example if the pattern says 3dc, it means 1dc in each of the next 3 sts. To work 3dc in one st, it would state (e.g) 3dc in next st.
The next yarn colour will always be joined into the last stitch worked.
Lets go..
