Crochet Mini Coaster
Materials:
- Yarn: Medium weight cotton yarn (approximately 50 yards)
- Hook: Size G/6 (4.0 mm) crochet hook
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle for weaving ends
Gauge:
To achieve the correct gauge, make a square of 10 double crochets (dc) and 10 rows. It should measure about 4 inches (10 cm) square. Adjust your hook size if necessary to match gauge.
Abbreviations:
- ch - chain
- sc - single crochet
- dc - double crochet
- sl st - slip stitch
Instructions:
Starting Chain: Begin by making a slip knot, then ch 4.
Round 1: Join with a sl st to the first ch to form a ring. Ch 3 (this counts as your first dc). In the ring, work 11 dc (you will have a total of 12 dc including the initial ch-3). Join with a sl st to the top of the ch-3. (12 dc)
Round 2: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), dc in the same stitch, then 2 dc in each of the next 11 stitches. Join with a sl st. (24 dc)
Round 3: Ch 1, sc in the first stitch, *2 sc in the next stitch, 1 sc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st. (36 sc)
Finishing: Cut the yarn, leaving a 6-inch tail. Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle. You can block your coaster by lightly misting it with water and placing it flat to dry for a clean, finished look.
Optional Variations:
- You can change colors for each round for a fun striped look.
- Try using different yarn weights for larger or smaller coasters!
