Both trivet and coasters are knit in rows using unwrapped short-rows and then are seamed to finish them.

I love how this works up in a multicolored cotton yarn. You can, of course, use a solid color as well. Or use up bits and have 4 different colored coasters, or…

Your purchase includes 2 pattern files; one is my “standard” file and the other is a low vision file which is completely in a sans serif 24pt font in all black type, has been fully left justified, and the promo photo is captioned. Both files are complete and self-contained allowing the knitter to choose which works best for them. There are no charts for this pattern.
