Prynhawn Da is Welsh for ‘Good Afternoon’, and an afternoon tea accompanied by these place settings would be a good afternoon indeed. The Pi shawl construction allows a natural and elegant development of the pattern from coaster to place mat.

Pattern suggests making 2 of each of coaster and placemat in each of three colours.

Yarn
Rico Design Essentials Crochet (Heavyweight Lace, 100% Mercerized Cotton, 280m/50g),
1 ball each in:
White 001
Turquoise 010
Pink 021

Each coaster uses 3.5g/20m yarn
Each placemat uses 10g/56m yarn

Needles
2.5mm crochet hook for cast-on only
3mm DPNs, 15cm, set of 5

Notions
1 stitch marker
Tapestry needle

Finished Measurements
Coaster: block points to 16cm diameter (relaxes to approx. 14cm)
Place mat: block points to 28cm diameter (relaxes to approx. 25cm)

Tension
As each item is a small circular Pi-construction knit, stitch tension changes every round and cannot be reliably measured on this small scale.
Rnd tension: 10cm = 29 rnds measured over patt whilst blocking.

Notes

1. When transferring sts to DPNs, place beg of rnd st marker at midpoint of one DPN.
2. Adjust number of DPNs in use and position of sts as stitch count increases so each DPN has 2 complete pattern repeats (16sts) by the time Chart A is reached.
3. You may find it easiest to place sts onto 2 DPNs initially after the cast-on and increase number of DPNs in use as stitch count increases.
