A while back I have received from Red Heart Yarns a few skeins of Scrubby Cotton yarn to try out.
At first, this yarn seemed tricky to work with, because of its fuzzy texture, but I have realised that it’s much easier to work around the stitches or into spaces rather that into the top of the stitches. That’s why my first pattern choice was the crochet moss stitch, where the stitches are worked into the chain 1 spaces of previous row.

If you haven’t worked with the scrubby yarn before, I recommend watching Marly Bird’s Video Tutorial on YouTube: How To Crochet with Scrubby Yarn.

Color change: You will change color at the end of each row, alternating the 3 colors, carrying the unworked yarns from row to row.

The color change will be made at the last sc of each row, this way: work the last sc till half, having 2 loops on hook, pick new color yarn and finish the sc with the new color.

At the end of row 40 worked with color B, do not change colors anymore and continue with the edging.

The edging will be worked in rounds around the piece, joining with sl st at the end of the round.
You will make 2 rounds of edging:

- the 2.nd round will be worked with the same as the first round, but replacing the sc stitches of the moss stitch with twisted single crochet stitches.

Round 1: Continue with A, ch2, work 1 sc in same st as the last sc of the last row worked. (half of the corner made). 

First side of the coaster: Turn the piece to work down the side:
*ch1, sk 1 edge st (or one color), work 1sc in next st, repeat from * to next corner, work the corner: (1sc, 2 ch, 1sc) into corner st;
