Apple Crochet Coaster Pattern for Fall

Are you looking for a quick and adorable apple pattern project to spruce up your coffee table or home for Fall? If so, then look no further!

Below, I’ll show you how to make apple-shaped coasters, which are perfect for adding a pop of color to your home for Fall and are also great for gifting! (think teachers!)

Materials You’ll Need

For this apple project, grab some worsted weight cotton yarn in your chosen apple color—red or green works great. I used Lily’s Sugar n Cream, but any four weight cotton will work! You’ll also need a bit of green for the leaf. Your hook should be a size 4.5 mm.

Of course, don’t forget the essentials: a yarn needle for weaving in those ends and scissors for cutting the yarn.

Stitches to Know

This project is beginner-friendly but offers a touch of variety in the stitches used. Here are the stitches you’ll need:

Chain Stitch (ch): Great for starting off and moving up in rounds.
Single Crochet (sc): The go-to stitch for the leaf.
Half Double Crochet (hdc): A stitch that’s halfway between a single and a double crochet, adding a bit of texture.
Double Crochet (dc): Gives height and fullness to the coaster.
Slip Stitch (sl st): Essential for joining rounds and finishing up your work.

Tips for Beginners

Always count your stitches in each round to make sure you’re on track.
Keep your tension consistent for a neater look.
After you’re done, you may want to block your coaster to give it a really professional, finished look.
This is a quick project, ideal for last-minute gifts or as a way to use up yarn scraps. You can easily make one in under an hour.
If you’re using cotton yarn, your coaster can be easily washed. This is a good idea if you plan to use them during meals.

With these additional tips, you should be ready to tackle this apple coaster project. So, grab your hook and yarn, and let’s get crocheting!
