EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:

DECORATION / COASTER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The piece is worked from the middle outwards, according to the diagram.
DECORATION / COASTER:
Use crochet hook size 3.5 mm and Muskat. Read CHAIN STITCH in explanations above. Work diagram A.1 for star with loop and A.2 for star without loop.
REMEMBER THE CROCHET TENSION!
When the diagram has been completed, cut and fasten the strand.
If you wish, the decoration can be stiffened so it hangs neatly. Dip it in sugared water or colourless fizzy drink and lay it flat to dry.
