INSTRUCTIONS

Let’s get making...

Rnd 1: Make a magic circle, ch3 (image 1), 10dc into the magic circle (image 2), sl st to the
first dc made (image 3).

Note: If you do not like using the magic circle technique you can ch4 instead, make 10dc into
the first ch & sl st to the first dc made (not the beginning ch4).

Rnd 2: Ch3, (dc, ch2, 2dc) all into the same stitch where you made your ch3, dc in next st
(image 4), *(2dc, ch2, 2dc) in the next st, dc in next st*, rep all around, sl st to top ch of the
ch3 (images 5 & 6).

Rnd 3: Ch1, dc in next st (image 7), (dc, ch2, dc) in ch2 sp (image 8), dc, sc, sc, *sc, dc, (dc,
ch2, dc) in ch2 sp, dc, sc, sc*, rep all around, sl st to the ch1 (image 9).

FINISHING
Fasten off and weave in any loose ends. To make the edges of your star more pointed you can
block it. Spray the star with some water so it is slightly damp and place it on a blocking mat or
piece of cardboard. Stretch the star points out into shape and use pins to hold them in place.
Once your star is pinned into the shape leave it aside for several hours to dry.

Your Loopy Star Coaster is now finished and ready to use!

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
Handwash at 30 degrees is recommended. Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry.
Always check the yarn label for full wash and care instructions.
