🧶after 4 rounds this is a perfect coaster size
🧶from this point forward you continue the pattern on, you will always have a 3dc, ch 2, 3dc cluster and each corner followed by an increasing series of ch 1, 3dc, ch 1 between the corners
🧶change colors by fastening off after a round and adding the new color to any corner
