Crochet Coaster Patterns: 7 Free Designs
Coasters are one of the few crochet projects where the stitch pattern gets to be the whole point, with no shaping or sizing to worry about. The seven below run from a plain square to sunburst texture, bobbles and fringe, and a woven thermal stitch, so pick based on the look you want rather than difficulty.
Keep a dedicated small hook and yarn needle around for projects like these; scrap yarn is usually enough to finish one.
Crochet coaster patterns to explore
1. Round Sunburst Crochet Coaster
Nicky at Jewels and Jones uses a Sunburst Granny base with puff and bobble stitches. It finishes at 4.5 inches across using about 20 yards of worsted cotton. The puff and bobble stitches give it more surface texture than the flatter square and thermal stitch coasters below.
2. Easy Square Coasters
Red Heart at Yarnspirations is an easy pattern using Red Heart Super Saver and provides a free download without sign up. A free download with no sign up required makes it the most frictionless pattern to grab on this list.
3. Boho Crochet Coasters
Alex DellAringa at You Should Craft works rounds 1 through 7 continuously, then adds bobbles and fringe. It measures 5 inches without fringe or 6 inches with it in about 30 yards of worsted cotton. Working continuously through round seven before adding bobbles and fringe keeps the base construction simple even with the decorative details added afterward.
4. Textured Crochet Coasters
Sewrella uses the thermal stitch held with two strands of worsted cotton for a thick, woven texture, finishing at 4 by 4 inches. Holding two strands together throughout is what gives the thermal stitch its thick, woven feel.
5. Granny Square Coaster
Handy Little Me works four 3-round granny squares in three colors of fingering yarn with a 3.5 mm hook, then joins them 2×2 with a flat slip stitch seam. Swap to DK or worsted yarn for a bigger finished size.
6. Lace-Edge Crochet Coaster
Carmen Heffernan at Annie Design Crochet works a round coaster about 6 inches across in aran or worsted weight yarn on a 4.5mm hook, finished with a vintage style lace edging in 4-ply thread on a 3mm hook, available in single or multiple colors.
7. Melini Geometric Coaster
Tina Rinaudo at byGoldenberry builds each coaster from two contrast-color triangles worked into a square, then finishes with a border and an invisible join. It comes out small at about 3.25 by 3.25 inches after blocking.
