Free Crochet Pattern for "Coasters in the Round"

One of my friends in Blogland asked me what pattern I use for the coasters I make. This was something I played around with until I figured it out. Here's what I do:

Coasters in the Round

• I use an I hook but I crochet loosely. You may want to change hook size  or make additional rounds.
• Yarn:  ww cotton

Round 1:

• ch 2
• work 5sc in first (this makes a circle)
• put marker in this 5th sc and last sc of every round
• do not turn on these rounds

Round 2:

• 3 sc in each sc (total 15 sc this round)

Round 3:

• *2 sc in first sc, sc in each of next 2 sc*
• [repeat from *to* around (20 sc)]

Round 4:

• *2 sc in first sc, sc in each of next 3 sc*
• [repeat from *to* around (25 sc)]

Round 5:

• *2 sc in first sc, sc in each of next 4 sc*
• [repeat from *to* around (30 sc)]

Round 6:

• *2 sc in first sc, sc in each of next 5 sc*
• [repeat from *to* around (35 sc)]

Round 7:

• *2 sc in first sc, sc in each of next 6 sc*
• [repeat from *to* around (40 sc)]

Round 8:

• *2 sc in first sc, sc in each of next 7 sc*
• [repeat from *to* around (45 sc)]

Edging:

• sl st into next sc
• turn
• *Tr (triple/treble crochet) in 1st sc, then sl st in next*
• (repeat from *to* around)
• finish off
