Crochet Round Coasters

These textured round crochet coasters are quick and fun to make! 🧶

They’re worked in the round using puff stitches, which gives them that extra cute, squishy look.

The free pattern walks you through crocheting in the round, changing colours if you want to mix it up, and increasing in each round to shape the coaster into a circle. Perfect for beginners learning new skills and a great little project for experienced crocheters, too!

These coasters make lovely little crochet gifts, and the best part, you can work one up in under an hour! They’re great for using up leftover yarn, and mixing different colours can give each one a unique look. Just make sure to use cotton yarn of the same weight for the best results.

If you’re changing colours, you’ll have a few more ends to weave in, but the good news is that the fluffy puff stitches make it super easy to hide them neatly. 😊

How to Crochet Round Coasters

To crochet simple circle coasters, you’ll start in the centre and work your way out in the round. Each round needs to grow slightly larger than the one before, so the coaster stays flat on the table. That’s why we add more stitches as we go. The good news is that these increases follow a simple, repeatable pattern. Once you get the hang of it, it’s easy to remember! 😊

In short, you’ll start with six stitches in the first round and then add six more stitches in each round after that. So, the second round will have 12 stitches, the third will have 18, and the fourth will have 24. See the pattern? Each round increases by six stitches. Easy and predictable. Once you know the rhythm, it’s easy! 😊

Now we just need to make sure those extra stitches are spread out evenly. If you add them all too close together, like in just one section of the round, you’ll end up with a wavy or uneven coaster. One side might ripple while the other starts to curl. The key is not just how many stitches you add, but where you add them. A nice, even distribution keeps your coaster flat and looking great! 😊

In the pattern below, you’ll see exactly where to place your stitches. I’ve stacked the increases on top of each other in each round, it’s not only easier to see where to increase, but I also like the way it looks. Since this pattern has just four rounds, stacking the increases still gives you a nice, smooth circle.

If you decide to make your coaster larger (or even turn it into a rug! 😊), you’ll want to start shifting the increases slightly in each round instead of stacking them directly on top of each other. You’ll still add the same number of increases, just space them out differently to help maintain that nice, round shape. But for this small coaster, stacking the increases works just fine.

Crochet Coasters Pattern Notes

• This crochet coaster measures 4 inches in diameter. The size can be easily adjusted by working more rounds.

Crochet Round Coasters Instructions

Start with a magic circle, Ch 1.

Round 1. Working puff stitches into the circle.

• Work 6 Pf Sts into the circle, join the round by slip stitching into the top of the first stitch in this round. Tighten the magic circle.

(Puff Stitch: YO, insert hook into specified stitch, YO and pull up a long loop to the height of a normal double crochet. YO, insert your hook into the same stitch and pull up a long loop. YO again, insert hook into the same stitch again and pull up a long loop again. You should have 7 loops on your hook. YO and pull through all loops on your hook. YO again and pull through the loop on your hook)

Round 2. In this round, you work 2 Pf Sts in each space. Pf Sts are worked into the gap between the stitches in the previous round.

• Sl St into the space between the stitches in the previous round, Ch 1. Work 2 Pf Sts in each space, join the round with a Sl St. (12 Puff stitches in total)

Round 3. You can continue with the same colour or switch to a different one, as you see in the first picture. To switch colour, simply fasten off and cut the yarn.

• Sl St to first space between the stitches (or join new colour here with a slip stitch). Ch 1, *2 Pf Sts in the same space, 1 Pf St in the next space. Repeat from *until the end of the round, join. (18)

Round 4. In this round, you work 2 Pf St in the first space, 1 in the next and 1 in the next.

• Sl St to next St. Ch 1, *2 Pf Sts in first, 1 Pf St in next, 1 Pf St in next. Repeat from * until the end of the round; join. (24)

Fasten off and weave in all ends. Block your coaster into a round shape by lightly spraying it with water and pinning it in place to dry.

To create a round shape for a larger project (such as adding more rounds to make a rug), you’ll need to adjust the increases (two puff stitches in one stitch) in each round so that they are not stacked on top of each other. The stacked increases create a bend because they occur in the same spot in each round, resulting in a hexagon shape as you add more rounds.

For example, starting from round 4, slip stitch to the next stitch. Chain 1, then *1 puff stitch in the first stitch, 2 puff stitches in the next, 1 puff stitch in the next. Repeat from * until the end of the round and join. (24 stitches).
