Why Crochet Coasters?
Crochet coasters are a great way to add a handmade touch to any room. Plus they can be made with any color, so you can crochet them for any occasion like Thanksgiving, Christmas or any holiday you wish, simply by changing the yarn color.
With my simple and beginner-friendly pattern below, you’ll be able to create your very own crochet coasters in no time at all.
How to Make a Crochet Coaster
Crochet coasters are a fun home decor project, easy to make, and a perfect for beginner crocheters to try to expand their skills to working in the round.
This coaster is made with a technique called the magic circle then crocheted into a simple circle crochet design, and finally is finished off by using some basic stitch combinations to add some interest to the coaster edges.
Learn more about the stitches and the yarn you’ll want to use to make these coasters below.
The Yarn
To make these coasters, you will want to use Bernat Home Dec Maker yarn. This yarn is a chunky five weight made up of a blend of cotton and nylon that is machine washable and easy to work with.
To make these coasters just like the example, you will need less than 20 yards of yarn and the color Cream. This particular color of yarn sells out quickly but does come back in stock from time to time, so if you can’t find it, just keep an eye out.
Maker Home Dec yarn is available in a variety of other colors, so you can make these in different colors if you’d like.
Do you need to use a substitute yarn? If you can’t find the Home Dec Maker yarn, then you could use Nova Vita from DMC in its place, which is a recycled cotton super bulky six yarn.
The coasters may turn out bigger, but you could always adjust the hook size to try to get a similar size coaster.
The Crochet Stitches & Techniques
To be able to complete one of these coasters, you will need to know a few basic crochet stitches as well as the magic circle technique.
Learn more about each stitch, their abbreviations and technique below, so you’ll be able to crochet a coaster easily!
- Insert hook from front to back in the second chain from the hook or designated stitch
- Bring the yarn over (yo) the hook and pull the yarn back through the chain (or stitch) from back to front (2 loops on hook).

Hi Elizabeth,
No, there is not for this one. If there is a video tutorial, it will be in the sidebar under the pattern details and usually within the pattern itself.
