Magaltie Coasters - Free crochet pattern

Last weekend we took our daughter to a soft play centre and even though it's a paradise to your little gold nugget(s) running around, to us parents it's a nightmare (Right?! - please don't tell me I'm the only one) . A snapshot: To the left of me two children are arguing, on the right a child is doing the floss dance, in front of me I see adults crawling through the obstacles,  when suddenly the Sponge Bob Squarepants theme song starts bursting from the speakers, I look over my shoulder behind me and Sponge Bob Squarepants walks through the door. The question " am I having a fever dream?" did cross my mind. And in these circumstances, I wrote this pattern.
You could make a set of four, tie a pretty ribbon around them and have a perfect last minute gift! If you love the square so much and you can't stop making them, you could make lots and join them into a blanket.
Whatever you decide to do, I hope you enjoy doing it! I would love to see your makes!
Here comes the pattern!



This pattern is written in US terms. I'll be adding UK terms soon, too!

DK cotton.
4 MM hook
Scissors
Darning needle

SC= Single crochet
DC= Double crochet
SS= Slipstitch
CH= Chain
BLO= Back Loop Only

Start with a magic ring (Or chain 4 and join with a SS to form a ring) and make 6 SC's in the ring (6)

1: CH 1, make 2 SC's in each stitch around and join with a SS, TURN,  CH1

2: Working in BLO: *SC in first stitch (this will be the stitch you just slipstitched in ), DC in the next, [DC - CH 2 - DC] in next stitch (this forms the corner) Repeat from * around and join with a SS to your first SC made. (4 stitched on each side = 16 stitches in total), TURN, CH 1

3: Working in BLO: *Make a SC in first, DC in next ST, repeat this until the corner. In the corner CH 2 Space work: [DC - CH 2 - DC] . Repeat from * around and join with a SS to first SC made. TURN, CH 1 (6 stitches on each side = 24 stitches in total)

4: As round 3 (8 stitches on each side = 32 stitches in total)
5: As round 3 (10 stitches on each side = 40 stitches in total)
6: As round 3 (12 stitches on each side = 48 stitches in total)
7. As round 3 (14 stitches on each side = 56 stitches in total) Don't turn after this round.

EDGE: Start working in the first stitch after the stitch you just Slipstitched in. Including that stitch there should be 8 stitches left to work in until the corner space.
CH1, *Work [SC - DC - SC] in first stitch, SS in the next. Repeat * until corner. In corner work [SC -CH2 - SC] then repeat from * again.
You should have 7 "bobbles" on each side and 4 corners.
FO and work away the loose ends.

A TOE-tal bargain!

I might be late to the party with this and you may already know about this, but I still wanted to share this little money saving tip with you. If you are looking for some nice nail polish to match your summer outfit in this lovely weather, you might want to check in your local Poundland. I was looking for some nail polish today and discovered that they have a whole selection of branded cosmetics for £1 each! ( and yes that needs to be said, because lately not everthing in there is a pound anymore) I picked up this lovely L 'Oreal Paris Color Riche Spicy orange which retails for around £12 usually. Other brands I saw were Maybelline and Rimmel. The selection of colours are limited and there is no guarantee that they will still have it in stock when you run out, but it's definitely worth a look in my opinion! X Siri P.S. Nailed it! *Cackles*
