It's always fun to see how a plastic canvas project comes together with each new color section.
I started with the outer green border followed by the inner white border, both worked in my favorite stitch, the alternating scotch stitch.
Then, I filled in the red center using a modified scotch stitch to leave room for the seeds, worked in the Smyrna Cross Stitch.
I received a lot of questions asking what a mug rug was and why my "coaster" was so long. A mug rug is like a coaster, but larger. It's big enough to fit your drink and a snack at the same time.
π§Ά Yarn is Lion Brand Pound of Love, which we carry in our yarn shop both online and in person in Melbourne, Florida inside America's Antique Mall

β¨οΈ If you enjoy working in the alternating scotch stitch, you'll love the other patterns in my Scottie Shane series that are boxes built of the same 4 stitches, #orlycc_scottieshane

![How to Crochet Evenly Around Single Crochet Fabric | EyeLoveKnots & Yarn Crafts and Coffee
You just finished working a single crochet project, and now you want to add a round of single crochet evenly around it. Let me show you how!
This round of single crochet will add a nice finishing touch, or serve as the foundation of additional rounds of a border.
The general rule is different for different stitch patterns, but to crochet evenly into single crochet fabric, the rule is one stitch per row edge.
Tutorial is shown with (US) single crochets working into single crochet fabric, but if you want to change up the stitch for the border, the same concept applies.
