Crochet Coaster Patterns

Crochet coaster patterns make small mats, usually four inches across, that protect tables from cups and condensation. Cotton yarn is best because it absorbs moisture and tolerates hot mugs. A single coaster takes 15–30 minutes and roughly 15–25 yards of worsted cotton, so sets of four or six make quick handmade gifts.

How do you keep crochet coasters flat?

Keep crochet coasters flat by following the pattern's increase counts exactly, working with even tension, and blocking them with steam or water while pinned to shape. Round coasters that ruffle have too many stitches; those that cup have too few.

Frequently asked questions

What size is a crochet coaster?

About 4 inches in diameter or square.

Can I use acrylic yarn for coasters?

Acrylic works for cold drinks but repels water and can melt under very hot mugs; cotton is better.
