Cherry Blossom Coasters Round 4 - I would specify in the first step after the first sl st, where you work your sc, i assumed it was the next st over, but clarifying this would be beneficial. Your photo with text on actually points to the second tr across, so if you follow the written instructions there is an extra stitch left at the end of the petal. (See below further explanation) From the 9 sts (which were tr, tr, tr inc x 3, tr - which comes to 1+1+2+2+2+1 = 9) You sl st into the 1st Sc into the 2nd In the 3rd you work [dc, ch2 picot, dc] Dc into the 4th Dc into the 5th In the 6th you work [dc, ch2 picot, dc] Dc into the 7th Sc into the 8th -> This can easily be solved by adding a step to sl st into the final one (which is done at the start also) I think section 4f is slightly unclear on where to actually sl st - I just assumed it was the same placement at the previous rows‘ sl st and went there, but the instructions make it seem like you sl st into the side of the st which makes it kind of ”slidey”. Step 4g seems to have a lot of errors. Whereas the previous instructions indicate you to sl st into the first tr, step 4g tells you to immediately sc in the first tr. As previously described there‘s already an extra st left over when you do not sl st, and following steps in 4g leads you to have 2 spare sts. NOTE: due to this, I completed the petals as indicated above, once any corrections have been made I am happy to make more - however for now I will just make one in case I have misinterpreted something!

Round 3 - I only count a total of 45 sts (5 petals of 9 sts = 45). Also ignore the previous comment about round 2 having an extra stitch at the start as this makes sense now.

Round 2 - I would say ”secondary” instead of 2ndary as it just seems more professional - this may just be me being a little bit ”nit-picky” and definitely isn‘t a required change! Same note as with round 1, I don‘t think you need to state that its creating the petals in brackets, as the subheading already suggests that. Where it says ”ch 2 st” at the end of RND 2 it suggests the ch2 acts as a stitch. I would just say ch 2 or ”the base of the ch 2” to avoid confusion/mistakes. 2a - I would try and space out the steps a bit more, maybe move them onto a new line or something as you have to read it more carefully than usual. This may become clearer later on in the pattern but the first section of round 2 would be a total of 5 dc and 1 tr, whereas all other sections are 4 dc and 1 tr (made up of the 2 incs and 1 tr across 3 sts).

Round 1 - I don‘t think you need the ”(creating the centre)” part as the subheading already shows that it is the centre section. For part 1a I would just say ”sl st to join the rnd” as it is simplified but still reminds people of how to join the rounds - this will make the pattern more beginner/advanced beginner friendly!

This, again, is a personal preference and nothing to do with the actual pattern. But I think changing the ”Use 3.5mm hook...” to a note instead of subheading will clear the layout up a bit! I would also add ”For the standard size cherry blossom coaster...(use a 3.5mm hook)” to clarify, similarly to what you have stated in the note below about the larger coaster size.

I personally think the note before step one is slightly confusing and ”wordy” - I would shorten this where possible as I had to read several times before actually understanding what was being said. E.g. ”For the 5th Cherry Blossom there are two options. Option 1 - use a larger (4 or 4.5mm) hook. See later instructions for Option 2.”

Just looking over the pattern, I would say you likely don‘t need to add all of the abbreviations as Ribblr automatically adds these for you - also, the terms will be different for UK/US but Ribblr‘s automatic abbreviations update based on language preference. I would still leave in the section about the () and [] though to clarify to readers the difference!
