Rainbow coasters

Hi 😊
Today I will share with you how to make these really easy made rainbow colored coasters.

Some cotton yarn (150m per 50 gr bundle) in these colors: red, peach (or orange), yellow, green, turquoise (or blue) and violet. I just used some leftovers. Most colors will look great!
A crochet pin size 5.

Make sure you have 2 separate bundles of each color. They can be really small bundles, 'cause you don't need much yarn. For all steps below: Use double yarn.

Step 1. Make a magic ring with the violet yarn. If you don't know how, there is a good tutorial here.

Step 2. Make 6 sc in the ring, and tighten it.

Step 3. Make 2 sc in each stitch = 12 stitches.

Step 4. Change to  turquoise (or blue) yarn (see tip below), and do 1 sc in the first st, then 2 in the second, and so on around the ring = 18 stitches.

Step 5. Repeat step 4 = 27 stitches.

Step 6. Change to green yarn, and make 1 sc in the first 2 st, then 2 sc in the third st. Repeat all the way around = 36 stitches.

Step 7. Change to yellow yarn, and make 1 sc in the first 3 st, then 2 sc in the forth st. Repeat all the way around = 45 stitches.

Step 8. Change to peach (or orange) yarn, and crochet as in step 7. = 56 stitches.

Step 9. Change to red yarn, and make 1 sc in the first 4 st, then 2 sc in the fifth st. Repeat all the way around = 67 stitches.

Step 10. Cut the yarn, and pull it through the loop. Secure the ends tightly, and VOILA! You have made a rainbow coaster.😊

Tip for color change: If you are like me, and don't like all the loose ends to secure. Do like this:
Cut the "old" color yarn, leaving 5-6 cm ends. Start the "new" color with the same ends, and lay them together on top of the stitches you are going to crochet. Then crochet around the ends as you go along, and the ends will be made into your coaster. This way you only have to secure the violet end in the middle, and the red one in the end.
