Why Crochet Coasters Are Better Than Store-Bought
Mass-produced home items often lack the human touch that handmade accessories hold. If you’re looking for sustainable and eco-friendly solutions, a set of crochet coasters is a great choice!
The flower-shaped design created by Kate from Crochetpedia will not only bring springtime energy into your home but also functionality. They are thick enough to protect your furniture from heat and water rings.
Whether you decide to place them around your kitchen table or on your favorite coffee stand, they will keep them safe while spreading floral vibes.
Yarn & Hook Suggestions
Like in most coaster patterns, you will need to use 100% cotton yarn. It can be, for example, Garnstudio DROPS Paris or your favorite medium-weight yarn. Pair it with a 4 mm crochet hook to create a piece measuring 5.12” (13 cm) in diameter.
You can also crochet the coasters smaller by switching to sport-weight yarn and a 3.5 mm hook.
Required Skill Level
If you’re new to crochet and wondering whether you can complete this coaster pattern successfully, the answer is a confident yes! It’s a beginner-friendly project that is very easy to make. It’s super quick, too!
To make things even easier for you, there is a helpful step-by-step video tutorial. That’s the kind of support every beginner will appreciate!
Techniques Used In This Pattern
The crochet flower coaster pattern is worked in 6 simple rounds. You will start with the magic ring and then build it up with basic techniques, including single crochet and double crochet. The last round requires working treble crochets, making it a great opportunity for you to practice tall stitches.
FAQ
Is this a good stash-buster pattern?
This flower coaster crochet pattern is a great project for using up leftover yarn. You will need less than 1 skein to complete it.
Can I use acrylic yarn instead of cotton?
Acrylic fibers are not the best choice when it comes to crocheting coasters. Cotton yarn offers better absorbency and durability for coaster use. Acrylic may melt under heat and doesn’t absorb water as well.
How can I stiffen the coasters for a more solid shape?
You can block with starch or use a fabric stiffener spray to keep the coaster flat and firm. Check our guide – How to Block Crochet Projects – for more helpful tips.
