Free crochet coaster pattern · about 4 1/4 in across · worsted cotton, US H-8 hook · about 30 minutes per coaster (estimate).

This crochet coaster is worked in 4 rounds from a magic ring: 3 rounds of double crochet make a flat cream disc, then a caramel round of 6 petals makes the flower edge.

Make a set of 4 for your table or for a gift. Every round was checked by our stitch simulator.

✓ CookZya original design · Stitch counts checked round by round — Stitch counts checked round by round by our simulator. This pattern has not been crocheted and swatched by a person: size, yarn and time are estimates, and your coaster will differ a little.

Materials

  • Color C — cream, about 10 yd
  • Color K — caramel, about 5 yd
  • Cotton yarn is best for coasters: it soaks up drips and can be washed.

Notes

  • US crochet terms. ch = chain, sl st = slip stitch, sc = single crochet, dc = double crochet, st(s) = stitch(es), rep = repeat, Rnd = round.
  • Ch 3 at the start of Rnds 1-3 counts as a dc; join in its top chain. The ch 1 of Rnd 4 does not count.
  • Right side facing you all the time; you never turn.
  • The photos show the finished look of the coaster. Their stitches do not match the pattern one for one (they show more, shorter rounds and an extra edge line): follow the written rounds for every count.

Coaster

Make 4. Cream for Rnds 1-3, caramel for Rnd 4.

  1. With cream, make a magic ring. Ch 3 (counts as the first dc), 11 dc in the ring. Pull the tail to close the ring. Join with sl st in the top of the beginning ch-3. (12 dc) 12 dc
  2. Ch 3 (counts as a dc), dc in the same st as the join, 2 dc in each st around. Join with sl st in the top of the beginning ch-3. (24 dc) 24 dc
  3. Ch 3 (counts as a dc), dc in the same st as the join, dc in the next st, *2 dc in the next st, dc in the next st; rep from * around. Join with sl st in the top of the beginning ch-3. (36 dc) Fasten off cream. 36 dc
  4. Join caramel with sl st in any st. Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch), sc in the same st, skip the next 2 sts, 5 dc in the next st, skip the next 2 sts (first petal). *Sc in the next st, skip the next 2 sts, 5 dc in the next st, skip the next 2 sts; rep from * 4 more times. Join with sl st in the first sc. (6 sc and 6 petals of 5 dc) Fasten off and weave in the ends. 6 sc, 30 dc

Finish and block

Block it flat so each petal lies open.

1 Weave in the ends

Weave both tails of each color along the stitches on the wrong side.

2 Block flat

Mist the coasters, pin them flat on a towel with each petal spread out, and let them dry.

3 Make it a gift

Stack the 4 coasters and tie them with ribbon or yarn.

Finishing

A light press with a warm iron through a cloth keeps cotton coasters flat.

Design notes

  • Rnds 1-3 grow by 12 dc a round (12, 24, 36): the standard flat double crochet circle. Rnd 4 uses 6 sts per petal: 36 / 6 = 6 petals, the classic shell edge that lies flat.
  • Sizes come from the stitch heights stacked from the ring: an estimate; blocking sets the final shape.

Tips

  • Count 36 dc at the end of Rnd 3: 6 groups of 6, one per petal.
  • Fasten off the cream after Rnd 3, then join the caramel in any stitch, as written in Rnd 4.
  • Use the same cream for all 4 coasters and change only the edge color for a mixed set.

Common mistakes

  • Forgetting that the ch 3 counts as a dc: the round gets 1 stitch too many.
  • Not skipping 2 stitches on each side of the 5 dc: the edge ruffles.

Make it your own

  • Red edge for Christmas, pastel edges for spring.
  • A white center with a sage edge for a farmhouse table.

Care

  • Cotton coasters: machine wash cold, lay flat to dry.
