Part 1: Center Motif

Round 1: Magic Ring Foundation

   Save

This forms 12 evenly spaced chain spaces arranged in a circular shape.

Round 2: Adding V-Stitches

1. Slip stitch into the first chain space.
2. Ch 3 (counts as dc), then work:
   • (dc, ch 1, dc) into the same space (this creates the first V-Stitch).
3. Continue into each chain space:
   • Work (dc, ch 1, dc).
4. At the end of the round, you should have 12 V-Stitch motifs.
5. Sl st to the top of the initial chain 3 to join.

Part 2: Expanding Rows

For the next few rows, the design expands outward by adding additional V-stitches on every round.

Round 3: Expanding the Rows

1. Slip stitch into the first chain space of the previous row.
2. Ch 3 (counts as dc), then work:
   • (dc, ch 1, dc) in each space created by the previous row's V-Stitch spaces.
3. At the end of the row, join with a slip stitch.
   Save

Repeat this pattern for Rounds 4-5, adding more V-Stitch motifs as you go.

By the end of Round 5, the mat will have expanded evenly into a circular shape and be ready for lace edges.

   • Ch 1, work 5 dc in the same space.
   • Slip stitch into the next chain space.
2. Continue:

     Save

Securing Ends

1. Tie off all yarn and weave in the loose ends.

Customization Ideas

1. Color Variations

• Try alternating row colors for visual contrast.
• Use gradient or variegated yarn for a seamless color transition throughout the piece.
  Save

2. Adjusting Size

• To make a smaller supla:
  • Stop after fewer rounds of V-stitches.
• To make it larger:
  • Add more expansion rows before the lace section or increase the number of lace layers.

3. Additional Functionality

• This pattern can be used to crochet smaller coasters or scaled up for larger table mats.
• The supla can also be used as a wall decoration by stiffening the lace edges.

Tips for Success

1. Consistent Tension

Maintain even tension throughout every row to prevent curling or uneven edges. If your stitches seem tight, loosen your grip or switch to a slightly larger hook.

2. Blocking the Supla

Blocking ensures your finished piece lays flat and prevents curling around the lace edges. To block:

• Pin the mat onto a foam board or towel in the desired shape.
• Lightly steam or wet the mat, smoothing it into a circle. Allow it to dry.
  Save

3. Customize with Yarn Types

Experiment with metallic threads or cotton yarn for different textures and styles.
