Fair Isle Coasters Pattern

These coasters will utilize the skill you learned in lesson 8: fair isle knitting! They are easy to knit, but take some time because of the design incorporated in them. There are 4 different designs to chose from so you can make a set of 4 or 5 and have them be matching or combine the designs to make a unique mismatch set.

Materials:
Acrylic worsted weight yarn in 4 colors (I used Red Heart Super Saver because the colors are bright and they are machine washable and dryable)
I'm not really sure about how much of each color you will need but for a guess I would say as long as you have at least half a skein that will be enough.
Straight needles size 7
Yarn needle for weaving in ends


Instructions:

For each coaster you will start out by casting on 17 sts

Some of the designs involve using more than 2 colors in one row. Here is a video to show you how to do that 3 Strand Knitting

 The charts look rectangular but the coasters will be squares















<-------  Start Here at the 1 and go to the left. On the purl row, start at the 18 on row 2 and work to the right.

 On the cast off row for this coaster you can use plain yellow to make it easier to have a neat edge.












Here where there is this large yellow section, you do not have to carry the pink across the back of the work, but you might want to in order to make the entire piece have the same thickness.

For this one you can eliminate the pink if you don't want to have 4 colors in the same row. Instead you can use blue or yellow there.
