Notes:

Do not tie knots tightly; doing so will alter finished measurement.

DIRECTIONS:

Cut one knot-bearing cord 60" [152.5 cm] long in A. Cut 11 knotting cords 36" [91.5 cm] long in A. Cut 4 knotting cords 36" [91.5 cm] long in B.
Place knot-bearing cord flat on table, folding to form an 18" [45.5 cm] overlap.
Working over both cords as shown in diagram, work 5 Larks Head knots, working center knot with a knotting cord in B, and all others with knotting cords in A.

Take long end of knot-bearing cord and thread it through loop as shown in diagram. Draw tight to form circle which will form center of Coaster. Shorter end of knot-bearing cord will now be used as a knotting cord.

Holding knot-bearer cord horizontally and in front of knotting cords, work a Horizontal Double Half Hitch using short end of knot-bearing cord as knotting cord. Continue working Horizontal Double Half Hitch knots using each of the next two knotting cords. With a new knotting cord in A, work a Lark's Head knot around knotting cord. Continue working Horizontal Double Half Hitch knots around knot-bearing cord using each of next three knotting cords. With a new knotting cord in B, work a Lark's Head knot around knot-bearing cord. Continue working Horizontal Double Half Hitch knots around knot-bearing cord using each of next 3 knotting cords. With a new knotting cord in A, work a Lark's Head knot around knotting cord.

Continue as established until Coaster measures approx 4" [10 cm] in diameter, working Horizontal Double Half Hitch knots using existing knotting cords, and adding in new knotting cords in the appropriate shade whenever a gap appears. When adding in new knotting cords, place new cords in between 2 existing knotting cords of same shade. This will maintain tidy lines within colorwork.
Once completed, there should be approx 31 knotting cord tails in project - 23 in A, 8 in B. Using yarn needle, weave tail of knot-bearing cord into back of work. Trim all knotting cords to 1" [2.5 cm].

Un-ply each fringe strand by twisting strand clockwise until plies loosen, separating plies from the cut end up to knot. Comb fringe and trim evenly.
