4.0 mm (US G) crochet hook
Yarn needle, scissors

Using Navy Yarn

Round 5: Ch 3, work 3 dc into the next ch-space, ch 1, skip 3 stitches. Repeat 4 dc into the next ch-space, ch 1, skip 3 stitches around. Join with a sl st. (60 sts)

Round 6: Sc, then repeat 5 dc into the center of the next 4-dc group, sc into the next ch-1 space around. (72 sts)

Finishing

Weave each color’s two ends into its own ring so nothing shows. Block flat under a heavy book overnight, coasters must sit dead flat or mugs wobble. For a hanging charm version, add (ch 12, sl st) at the edge before fastening off; for the full set, make four and stack-tie with twine.

Tip: Joined rounds (not spirals) are what keep each color a clean closed circle, the evil eye motif lives and dies on those crisp rings. Take the 4 extra slip stitches.
