Can you spare 20 minutes? That’s exactly how long it takes to crochet one of these pumpkin-shaped coasters. Follow this beginner-friendly pattern designed by The Crochet Village to bring a cozy fall atmosphere to your tables. The coasters feature beautiful texture, perfectly round shapes, and adorable curly-cue details. Who wouldn’t like to whip up their own set of these delightful pumpkins?
Are These Pumpkin Coasters Easy To Crochet?
Absolutely! The Pumpkin Patch Coasters Crochet Pattern is suitable for beginners. It’s not only really quick but also incredibly easy to complete. You work each piece in rounds with just basic stitches. Then you add decorative edging using reverse single crochet stitches and finish it off with the curly-cue accents.
What Yarn Works Best For Crochet Coasters?
For this project, choose 100% cotton yarn in medium weight. The designer used Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton, but you can go for any other brand, like Lilly Sugar n’ Cream Cotton or Caron All Day Cotton. One coaster eats up about 30 yards of worsted yarn, so you will need very small amounts in different colors or you can simply choose a single fall-inspired shade if you prefer.
What Hook Size Should You Use?
The designer suggests using a smaller hook than the one recommended by the yarn label. This will help you produce a nice dense fabric and give your crochet pumpkin coasters a more sturdy feel. For the samples seen in the photos, a 4 mm crochet hook was used.
