Crochet Pattern: Cool Coasters 1
By Erin Burger – 28 CommentsThese adorable coasters are so easy to make up! The coasters featured in the photos are made of one solid color, but they would also look great in multiple colors, or with Round 4 done in an alternate complimentary color. These would also be a great Christmas gift (or kids Christmas project) in Red, Green and White!

Love them! They are so on my Christmas to do projects! Thanks!
Very pretty Rachel…I am gonna try and make these…Thanks for the pattern…
I like these, I just did one up quickly with some thick cotton and a 4mm hook. Didn’t take long, think I need to get some more colours from the shop!
Thank you for this pattern! <3 <3 <3
I’m not usually a fan of crocheted coasters, but these are great. Thanks, Erin!!
These are awesome! Just the thing I was looking for to fill up my Christmas “kitchen” gift baskets! Thank you!
Thanks Erin! These make nice little gifts and are good stash busters.
These look fantastic, Erin! They’ll make perfect gifts for my (very large) family! ^_^
[…] coasters look best in a solid color (in my opinion) and only take a very short time to make up. See Cool Coasters 1 and look out for a couple weeks more of free coaster patterns to […]
How do you start a circle? How do you count dc’s? How do you do Round 4? Thanks!
Thanks again for this pattern, I’ve just posted on my blog about the coaster I made, with a link back to this page. <3

Hi, In the cool coasters 1 pattern, in the first round when you reach ch-4: 12dc, are you supposed to double crochet 12 more after you reach the ch-4? I got a little confused there.
Thanks
Hi Karen, the numbers after the colon is the stitch count for the round. So when you’re done the round you will have 12 double crochets. You don’t have to make another 12 double crochet.

Hey Erin and Rachel
thanks so much for all your great patterns. i wasn’t very good at crochet but now i am doing well. these coasters came out great! i’m going to make a few in different sizes to make a set i can give for christmas!
I made this pattern in Sinfonia in about 20 minutes. I added glass beads at the outer edge of each shell. It came out great! Thanks for a simple, fun but elegant pattern.
Just made my 1st flower coaster. Thanks for the great pattern!
Thank you so much for sharing this pattern…very kind of you. 🙂 The coasters are adorable!
Hello,
Thank you so much for sharing the pattern. I am so in need of coasters when I get with my friends for crochet/knitting nights. I had such a hard time finding something I liked in the stores at a reasonable price. Now I can make them in the colors I want. Thanks again; will be adding these to my decorating blog with a link back here. : )
I use this pattern as my standard. They make great gifts, work up quickly and are very absorbant when you make them with 4 ply 100% cotton.
Mine seems to be curling up on the edges. Are they suppose to do that?
I have made close to 50+ coasters since you first posted the pattern. They make nice hostess gifts. I made a few in holiday colors for friends that like to decorate for the holidays or seasons. I like to use any of the kitchen cottons like Sugar ‘n Cream by Lily. Aunt Lydia also makes the same thing. Sometimes you can find red and green with silver or gold threads woven through the yarn. I have made Victorian candy cane covers with this yarn. I love this website!
These are amazing, easy and quick. Made them in craft cotton and are thick enough to absorb moisture and not leave marks on the furniture. Will make a few sets for gifts. Thanks for the pattern!
Is this the american lingo? As im from england i only know out way of crochet, so if i was to start this would it look ok?? i can read it fine, i just hope it turns out ok… Xx
Hi Becca, yes it is in american terms. There is a stitch conversion chart on this page if you need it: http://www.crochetspot.com/reading-vintage-and-uk-patterns/
Thanks – i just completed it using the english terms and it looks more of less the same! The detail within is slightly different however the overall shape is the same! Thanks! I must learn to crochet the american way really! Lol xx
I don’t know why they are different. Confusing.
Quick and easy project for a last minute gift(s). Love them.
