by Making a crochet motif coaster is a fun and quick project suitable for beginners and experienced crocheters alike. Below is a step-by-step guide to creating a basic round motif coaster, but you can easily adapt it into floral, hexagon, or granny square styles once you’re comfortable with the process.
🧶 Materials Needed:
- Cotton yarn (lightweight or medium)
- Crochet hook (size recommended for your yarn, typically 3.5 mm – 4.5 mm)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
🧵 Basic Round Motif Coaster Pattern
Step 1: Make a Magic Ring
- Start with a magic ring (or chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring).
Step 2: Round 1 – Foundation Round
- Chain 2 (counts as first double crochet).
- Make 11 double crochets (dc) into the ring. (Total: 12 dc)
- Slip stitch into top of starting chain to join.
Step 3: Round 2 – Increase Round
- Chain 2.
- 2 dc in each stitch around (12 increases).
- Join with a slip stitch. (Total: 24 dc)
Step 4: Round 3 – Second Increase
- Chain 2.
- (1 dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next stitch) repeat around.
- Join with slip stitch. (Total: 36 dc)
Step 5: Optional Round 4 – Add Texture or Border
- You can add a round of single crochet (sc) in each stitch or make a picot edge for a decorative finish.
- For picot: (sc in next stitch, ch 3, slip stitch in first chain of ch-3, sc in next stitch) repeat around.
✅ Finishing
- Fasten off and cut the yarn.
- Weave in the ends using a yarn needle.
🎨 Customizations:
