PATTERN NOTES
These coasters and placemats are knit in the round from the center out. Circular increases create the spiral shaping with a loopy I-cord bind-off for the scalloped edging.

This pattern calls for enough yarn to make a full set of four coasters and four placemats. Each set of one coaster and one placemat requires one ball of Clean Cotton. If you wish to make more than four sets, please purchase an additional skein for each additional set.
