Crochet Cluster Coasters (3c's)

This is an easy pattern, I did make 2 kinds in acrylic yarn and cotton thread and they all turn out beautiful.

Materials:
2.5mm hook 
Crochet cotton thread ( you can use regular yarn you like but using 3.5mm hook)
Scissor
Needle for weaving

Stitches used and in US terms:
Shell stitch - (1dc,ch1,1dc,ch1,dc,ch1,dc,ch1,dc)
Sc- single crochet
Dc- double crochet
Sl st - slip stitch

Cluster stitch -  Insert the hook into the next stitch, yarn over, draw the yarn through the stitch, yarn over, draw the yarn through 2 loops on the hook.Repeat the preceding step 3times. You should end up with 5 loops on the hook. Yarn over and draw the yarn through all 5 loops on the hook.
One 4-double-crochet (4-dc) cluster is complete.

For the pattern:
Ch 10, sl st to form a ring

Row 1 : Ch3, into the ring, work 17dc ( total of 18dc) sl st to the 3rd chain.

Row 2: Ch3, ch2 again, dc next st, * Ch2, dc next st , repeat from* all around. Ending with ch2, sl st to the 3rd chain of first dc.
 

Row 3: Sl st to the ch2 space, ch3, work * Cluster (3dc) total of 4dc with ch3, *Ch4, cluster (4dc) next ch2 space, repeat from*  all around. Sl st top of first chain.


Row 4 :  Sl st to the ch4 space, ch3, 3dc same st, *4dc next ch4 space, repeat from* to the end.

Row 5: Sl st to the 2nd dc ( in between the 4dc space) ch3, ch2 again, skip 2dc, dc next space. *Ch2, skip 2dc, dc next space, repeat from* to the end.

Row 6: Sl st to the ch2 space, ch3, work cluster but only 3dc this row, *Ch4, cluster next ch2 space, repeat from* to the end.


Row 7: Sl st to the ch4 space, (ch3, ch1, dc, ch1,dc, ch1, dc,ch1,dc,ch1,dc)  5dc in same space, and you just made a shell stitch, sc next ch4 space, work *shell stitch next ch4 space,  sc next ch4 space, repeat from * all around, ending with sc, sl st.

Weave ends and you’re done!
