Design

As a kid, I was a total adrenaline junkie and still am as an Adult. Lived for the rides. Especially the classic, Ferris Wheel. But, I could never, also pass up a good Roller Coaster either.

You can and could find me on the FERRIS WHEEL. Riding it for hours and never bored.

Being able to get the highest point, to feel the light breeze on a hot summer day. Seeing the beautiful lights upon a great stary summer night. Just, the best feeling in the world.

So, I thought, why not create this memory in a keepsake piece. Bringing you a fun and decorative coaster, into your home or giving it as a gift to someone.

You won’t just stop at one, once you start, they multiply quick.

Hook

For this design, I used my trusty Furls Crochet Hook. I love my Furls a lot. They are sleek and elegant. They fit in my hands perfectly. They have a round oval base, perfect hold for your thumb, where it won’t cramp nor cause fatigue for your wrist or hand. When, using my Furls hooks, hand pain isn’t even noticeable thought, where, I can crochet for hours not even knowing. Each hook they produce, is ergonomic and handcrafted. They are hand carved, ready for handmade journey. They are beautiful and easy on the eyes, making you want every style. Plus, they glide effortlessly smooth like butter through any kind of fiber you are using, while making each stitch stand out in amazement. Furls hooks came in a range of sizes 3.5mm-15mm, it all depends on the style of hook you are fancying. I trust them and stand by them, I have been using Furls Crochet Hooks, since 2017 and won’t stop can’t stop using them.

Yarn

Lately, I have been falling more in love with Caron Simply Soft Solids Yarn. This yarn has a sheen look to it and it’s super soft. It is 100% acrylic yarn and love the way how it works and the squish factor it gives off.

This yarn comes in multiple ranges of color. The 2 colors shown in these samples I used, Country Blue and DK Country. Each skein holds 315yds. I knew it would be the best fit for this pattern.

You may substitute for any other type of worsted weight 4 yarn.

Furls Crochet has there Wander Yarn that would work with this as well and many great colors to choose from. You can also use cotton yarn as well. Also, Lion Brand Yarn, WeCrochet, KnitPicks or Mary Maxim have great choices yarn to choose from to make these great coasters.

Basic knowledge for using DC, and TRC.
Ch1, Ch3, Ch4, and Ch5 counts as a stitch.
Ch1 at the beginning of R4 doesn’t count as a stitch. Ch1’s closing the Bean Stitch, don’t count as a stitch.
You will be sl-st at the end of each round.
After, completing your first round, pull your tail tight to close the ring.
