Here's an easy crochet coaster - start with a magic ring and work your lace:
|
For those of us using UK terminology:
trc = UK dtr
sc = UK dc
Start with a magic ring. (See my tutorial here if the magic ring is new to you.)
Round 1: ch 4, 18 trc into ring; close ring gently; do not join into the 4 ch but ss into 1st trc.
Tighten ring.
Round 2: ch 1, sc into same stitch.
(Ch 3, sc into next stitch) 17 times; ch 3, ss into 1st sc to join.
Round 3: ss into 1st 3 ch loop; ch 1, sc into same loop.
(Ch 3, sc into next loop) 17 times; ch 3, ss into 1st sc to join.
Round 4: ss into 1st 3 ch loop; ch 1, sc into same loop.
(Ch 4, sc into next loop) 17 times; ch 4, ss into 1st sc to join.
Round 5: ss into each of next two chain of 1st loop; 1 sc into same loop.
(Ch 4, sc into next loop) 17 times; ch 4, ss into 1st sc to join.
Weave this tail end to the back - I then weave it down to the middle of the coaster and around the center. Then carefully weave in your starting end.

The first five rounds are worked as the coaster, but then you carry on... and on!
