Pink Coaster Motif

My patterns may be getting more interesting, but my pattern names... not so much.  As I was working on this motif I kept calling it the "pink coaster" or the "pink motif."  It was hard to think of calling it anything different, so I present to you, the "Pink Coaster Motif" pattern:  (just written directions this time!)

3 dc cluster: *yarn over, insert hook in space, yarn over, pull up loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops, repeat from * twice, yarn over and pull through all 4 loops on hook.

2 tr cluster: *yarn over twice, insert hook in space, yarn over, pull up loop, (yarn over and pull through 2 loops) twice, repeat from * once, yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on hook.

3 tr cluster: *yarn over twice, insert hook in space, yarn over, pull up loop, (yarn over and pull through 2 loops) twice, repeat from * twice, yarn over and pull through all 4 loops on hook.

4 tr cluster: *yarn over twice, insert hook in space, yarn over, pull up loop, (yarn over and pull through 2 loops) twice, repeat from * three times, yarn over and pull through all 5 loops on hook.

picot: ch 3, sl st in previous sc.  (Insert hook into front loop of sc and left most vertical bar under front loop of same single crochet, yarn over, and pull through vertical bar, front loop, and loop on hook.)

triple picot: ch 3, sl st in previous sc, ch 4, sl st in same sc, ch 3, sl st in same sc.


Start with magic ring
Rnd. 1-  Ch 5, *dc, ch 2, repeat from * 6 times, join with sl st to 3rd chain. (8 dc, 8 ch 2 spaces)

Rnd. 2- Sl st in next ch 2 space, (ch 3, dc, ch 2, 2 dc cluster, ch 2) in same space, (2 dc cluster, ch 2, 2 dc cluster, ch 2) in next ch space and each ch space around, join with sl st to first dc. (16 2 dc clusters, 16 ch 2 spaces)

Rnd. 3- Sl st in next ch 2 space, ch 3, 2 dc cluster in same space, ch 4, sc in next space, ch 4, *3 dc cluster in next space, ch 4, sc in next space, ch 4, repeat from * around, join with sl st to 2 dc cluster. (8 3 dc clusters, 8 sc, 16 ch 4 spaces)

Rnd. 4- Sl st in next ch 4 space, ch 1, sc in same space, ch 4, *sc in next ch 4 space, ch 4 repeat from * around, join with sl st to first sc. (16 sc, 16 ch 4 spaces)

Rnd. 5- Sl st. in next ch 4 space, ch 4, 3 tr cluster, ch 5, sc in next space, ch 5, *4 tr cluster in next space, ch 5, sc in next space, ch 5 repeat from * around, join with sl st to first 3 tr cluster. (8 tr clusters, 8 sc, 16 ch 5 spaces)

Rnd. 6- Ch 1, sc in same st, triple picot, sc in next ch space, ch 4, 2 tr cluster in next sc, picot, ch 4, sc in next ch space, *sc in next 4 tr cluster, triple picot, sc in next ch space, ch 4, 2 tr cluster in next sc, picot, ch 4, sc in next ch space, repeat from * around, join with sl to first sc, fasten off, weave in ends. (8 2 tr clusters, 8 picots, 24 sc, 8 triple picots, 16 ch 4 spaces)

(I didn't feel it needed it, but you can block if desired.  Pin out to shape, spray with water, and let dry over night.)
