Paw Print Coaster Pattern
This is a pattern I wrote, I was making other coasters from patterns and thought “a paw print would be cute”. When I could not find a pattern for one that I liked and was free I had no choice but to make my own. I figured I should write it down and share it. If you like it or find any problems let me know, happy hooking!
· Hooks: size 4.0 and 5.0 for smaller paw print and 6.0 and 5.0 for bigger paw print.
(use smaller hook for pad, bigger hook for toes.)
· Cotton yarn, two colors.
Pattern Note: When the number is before the stitch (example: 3HDC) that means you should do 3 half double crochets. If it is after the stitch (HDC 3) that means to do 3 half double crochets in the same stitch.
Sc = single crochet, hdc = half double crochet, dc = double crochet, tr = Treble
Paw Pad (make one) (color A) (hook 4.0 or 5.0)
Row 1: Magic ring, hdc 12, join with first stitch.
Row 2: Hdc 2 in every stitch (24)
Row 3: SC 1, SC1 and HDC 1 in next stitch, HDC, DC and tr, TR , Dc and hdc, HDC, sc2, sc , sc and hdc, hdc, dc and tr, tr, dc and HDC, hdc, 2sc, sc, sc and hdc, hdc, dc and tr, tr, dc and hdc, hdc, sc, sc (36)
Row 4:3 hdc, hdc2, dc, 2 tr, dc, 4 hdc, sc 2 stitches together, 4 hdc, dc, tr 2, dc, 3 hdc, hdc2 16 sc
Row 5: 3 hdc, hdc2, dc, dc 2 in next 2 stitches, dc, 3 hdc, hdc2, slip st, slip st 2 stitches together, slip st, (start in same st as slip st) 3hdc, hdc 2, dc, dc2 in next 2 stitches, dc, 6 sc, 2, hdc dc 2 in next 2 stitches, 2 hdc, 6 sc, finish off.
Toes (make 4) (color A) (hook 5.0 or 6.0)
Row 1: magic ring, Sc 6, join.
Row 2: sc2, sc2, dc 2 in next 2 stitches, sc 2, slip st, slip st, join in 2nd st.
Row 3: sc , sc2, sc, sc2, hdc, dc2, hdc, 4sc. Finish off, leave long tail for sewing.
I like to weave in any non-sewing tails (center tails) at this point, less to get tangled up.
