Crochet coasters are easy and practical projects for your coffee table. They also make for perfect little gifts. Find out how to make them your own with these free crochet coaster patterns!
Why Crochet a Coaster?
These days, coasters come in all shapes, materials, and sizes, which includes crocheted coasters. Crocheted coasters are great beginner projects because they’re small, usually follow a simple pattern, and they help you to focus on your tension.
Crochet coasters also make a thoughtful housewarming present for your friends and family. They’re also a quick and easy project to make in bulk to sell at craft fairs if that’s something you’re interested in. There are so many great reasons to crochet coasters!
Supplies to Crochet a Coaster
Yarn
The best material to use for a crochet coaster is cotton yarn. Cotton is heat-resistant, absorbent, and easy to wash, making coasters made from cotton perfect for hot and cold drinks. Acrylic is fine for more decorative coasters, but keep in mind that acrylic fibers can melt when they come into contact with high heat.
The best yarn to use is always the one you have on hand, or whatever is most accessible to you. Most of the free crochet coaster patterns in this roundup will use worsted weight yarn like Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton, Red Heart Super Saver, and Lily Sugar ‘n Cream which are durable, come in a range of colors, and are inexpensive.
The more decorative coasters will require more colors and those three brands all have a wide array of colors that you can pick and choose from.
Notions and Tools
- A crochet hook in the size indicated in the pattern, or that works for the weight of yarn you are using (check the label if you aren’t sure what size to use)
- Stitch markers to mark where you start a new round to avoid an accidental increase or decrease.
- Yarn scissors for trimming yarn
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
