Love this pattern for the Ekta Coasters. But I am a little confused. In your notes you state that Row 1 is the Foundation Row –AND– the Bind-Off-Row is NOT included in the charts. That’s all well and good. I have no problem with that. However, your Written instructions seem to say something a little different:

[C1] BOR: With a 5.5 mm hook, repeat Row 2.

This will be the bind off row. You will make a single crochet every time you pick up a loop on your hook. Continue to the ‘Border’ section.

What I am reading is to Repeat Row 2, (which is a row of TSS) but below that you say to “make a single crochet every time you pick up a loop”. To me that is saying to make 1 additional row of TSS (the ‘repeat row 2’ part), FOLLOWED BY an additional row of SC to bind off. That is not what I see when I look at the pictures of the finished coasters.
Do you really mean the “REPEAT ROW 2” part?

Just wanted to say that you have the most clearly-written Tunisian crochet patterns I have ever read! It is so incredibly nice to have each row written as ‘FS … LS’. I can’t count the number of times I’ve had to restart rows in other patterns because someone has listed the FS in the Tss count from the off vs when someone has outright not written the FS into the pattern. Wish they were all as consistent as you!

I also adore your patterns (always look so classy) and your pattern names (beautifully chosen, and love having the translations and/or reasons for choosing shared with us!). Made these in a dark maroon & light pink/white/purple variegated yarn and they looked stunning. Hard to find good projects to use up those variegated balls on so adored this!
