Step-by-Step Pattern Instructions
- Cookie Biscuit (Make 2 per coaster with Cookie colored yarn):
Start with a magic ring.
Rnd 1: Ch 2 (does not count as st), work 10 dc in magic ring, join with sl st to first dc. (10 sts)
Rnd 2: Ch 2, 2 dc in each st around, join with sl st. (20 sts)
Rnd 3: Ch 2, [1 dc in next st, 2 dc in next st] around, join with sl st. (30 sts)
Fasten off and weave in ends for one biscuit. Leave a long tail on the second biscuit for assembly. - Cream Filling (Make 1 per coaster with Cream colored yarn):
Start with a magic ring.
Rnd 1: Ch 1, work 10 sc in magic ring, join with sl st to first sc. (10 sts)
Rnd 2: Ch 1, 2 sc in each st around, join with sl st. (20 sts)
Rnd 3: Ch 1, [1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st] around, join with sl st. (30 sts)
Fasten off with a short tail. - Assembly:
Sandwich the cream filling between the two cookie biscuits so the cream peeks out evenly around the edges. Using the long tail from the second cookie biscuit, whip stitch or mattress stitch the layers together securely through the back loops of the outer edges. Fasten off and hide all yarn tails inside the sandwich layer.
Finishing & Helpful Tips
- Choose 100% cotton yarn so your coasters can easily handle warm mugs and absorb condensation from cold drinks.
- Keep your tension nice and even so your cookie halves match up in size before you assemble the sandwich.
- Embroider a cute texture on the cookie faces (like tiny French knots or grid lines) before assembling them if you want a more realistic cookie look.
- To care for your finished coasters, gently hand wash them in cool water with mild soap and lay flat to dry.
