7 Free Crochet Coaster Patterns to Try

Floral and seasonal motifs dominate this coaster roundup: daisies, a primrose set, poinsettias for the holidays, and a pumpkin version for fall, alongside a couple of plainer vintage style options.

The photos kept below are original KnotToYarn visuals, used only for the daisy and pumpkin pattern families where they genuinely match the linked construction; no outside designer images appear in this post. A dedicated small hook is worth keeping around for scrap yarn projects like these.

Crochet coaster patterns to explore

1. Daisy Granny Coaster

Carmen at Annie Design Crochet uses DK 100% cotton, a 3.5 mm hook, and six rounds to produce a 4.75 inch square coaster. A yellow center, clustered flower round, and treble stitch corners form the daisy motif before a single crochet edging. The coordinating placemat joins twelve 3.5 inch squares with a slip stitch seam.

2. Primrose Crochet Coasters

Agat at Made by Gootie uses 100% cotton sport weight yarn and a 3 mm/D hook for a 4.5 inch square. A 24-chain foundation is worked back and forth in the Primrose stitch: a single crochet and chain-2 flower row alternates with three double crochet groups. Five repeats and a single crochet border complete the coaster.

3. Colorful Little Vintage Coasters

Jessica at Mama In A Stitch are five round circles made with a 3.75 mm/F hook and Lily Sugar and Cream or comparable worsted cotton. A 12 stitch double crochet center doubles to 24 stitches, then single crochet increase rounds reach 60 stitches. Three color layouts use red, ecru, salmon, yellow, aqua, and blue accents.

4. Poinsettia Coaster Set

Nicole Riley at Nicki’s Homemade Crafts hides layered drink coasters inside a small crocheted flowerpot. It uses worsted acrylic yarn in grass, currant, red, and canary with a 4 mm hook; cotton is an alternative for hot drinks. Linked half double crochet shapes the pieces, and the stacked set measures about 3 by 7 inches.

5. Great Harvest Pumpkin Coasters

Cheryl Bennett at Crochet 365 Knit Too uses worsted cotton and a 4 mm/G hook to make a 4.5 inch pumpkin. Three double crochet circle rounds are followed by varied stitch heights that create the top and bottom indentations. The brown stem is crocheted directly from the coaster, while a separate green picot leaf is sewn in place.

6. Happy Gatherings Coaster

Rebecca at Sweet Bee Crochet uses about 15 yards of worsted weight cotton on a 4mm hook to make a 4 inch square with a crossed double crochet criss cross accent in the center. The criss cross center gives it more visual interest than a plain solid square.

7. Simple Flower Coasters

Rhondda Mol at Oombawka Design Crochet works a nine petal flower from five double crochet clusters in round four, finishing about 5 inches across in medium weight yarn on a 5mm/H hook. Nine petals is a fuller flower than the four or five petal motifs typically used for a coaster sized project.
