    Please help! On the 16 point Coaster in round 3 it says to slipstitch in space between dc’s. In round 2 it states to dc in to ring 15 times. It does not indicate to chain in between dc’s. Please help! I must be reading it wrong or something. Thank you!

    • Hi Ari, you don’t need to chain between the DCs in round 2! In round three, it says to slipstitch in space between DCs, just insert your hook in between the DCs (not in the stitch itself).

      If you chain in between the DCs in round 2, that would make it too wide – it probably would be wavy & have trouble laying flat.

      Hope that helps 🙂

    How about a printer friendly version?!
