Bridge Coasters

I have named these the Bridge Coasters as they are for my mother and her bridge club, but one could name them the Whist Coasters, Rummie Coasters, or even Snap Coasters!  A series of cables and slip stitches leave a raised pattern, one for each card suit.

Using good old DK wool and 4mm needles for all coasters...
