Coasters Crochet Patterns

Fourteen coasters, and twelve of them are marked beginner. This is the category to start in if you have never bought a written pattern before: each one is small enough that a mistake costs you twenty minutes rather than a weekend, and you get a finished, useful object at the end of the first evening.

Work them in worsted cotton, not acrylic. Cotton absorbs the ring of condensation off a cold glass; acrylic pushes it around and then holds the damp. The Flower Coaster finishes at about 5.5 inches across on a J hook, and the Pencil Coaster at 4 by 6 inches - both in size 4 cotton. Everything in this category sits in that range, which means one skein of Sugar'n Cream or I Love This Cotton makes a set of six with yarn left over.

The seasonal shapes are the ones that move at markets: pumpkins and fall leaves in September, ghosts in October, Christmas trees and Santa from November.

Two coasters (Clover and Christmas Tree) sit on the second page of this category, so scroll or use the search if you cannot see them.
