Looking for a quick and fun summer project? These easy hexagon crochet coasters are perfect for beginners and add a cute, cheerful touch to any table! Their simple yet pretty design makes them great for showing off your favourite summer colours.
Coasters aren’t just for hot drinks, they’re super handy in summer too! They help protect your tables from cold drink condensation and add a bit of handmade fun to your morning coffee or outdoor gatherings.
I was surprised how quickly these came together – just four rounds and I had a finished coaster in about 15 minutes! Of course, it might take a little more or less time depending on how long you’ve been crocheting. I’ve made a bunch already, some for myself and a few as gifts – they’re just so cute and practical. And honestly, they’re really fun to make too! 😉
This hexagon pattern uses simple double crochet stitches, making it a great way to learn the basics, especially how to create neat corners. It’s beginner-friendly, and once you get the hang of it, you can start playing around with other stitches and colours to make it your own.
For the border, I went with a contrasting colour to make it pop a bit more. I also shaped the corners slightly to make them more pointy, so the hexagon shape stands out nicely.

Crochet Hexagon Coaster Instructions
Round 1: Make a magic circle (or ch 4 and join with a sl st to form a circle). Ch 3 (counts as the first stitch here and throughout the pattern), then work 1 DC into the circle. *Ch 2, 2 DC into the circle; repeat from * 4 more times. You should have 6 sets of 2 DC separated by ch-2 spaces (12 DC total). Sl st to the top of the beginning Ch 3 to join the round.
Round 2: Ch 2, DC in the next stitch, then work (DC, ch 2, DC) into the corner space (ch-2 space). *DC in each of the next 2 stitches, (DC, ch 2, DC) into the next corner space; repeat from * around. Sl st to the top of the beginning Ch 2 to join the round. (24 DC)
Round 3: Ch 2, DC into the next 2 stitches, then work (DC, ch 2, DC) into the corner space. *DC into the next 4 stitches, (DC, ch 2, DC) into the next corner space; repeat from * around. DC into the last stitch. Sl st to the top of the beginning Ch 2 to join the round. (36 DC)
Rd 4: Ch 2 (counts as first DC), DC into the next 3 stitches, then work (DC, ch 2, DC) into the corner space. *DC into the next 6 stitches, (DC, ch 2, DC) into the next corner space; repeat from * around. DC into the last stitch. Sl st to the top of the beginning ch 2 to join the round. (48 DC)
Border: You can use the same yarn or switch to a contrasting color to make the border stand out. If you’re changing colors, fasten off the first yarn and join the new one before starting the border.
To make the border: Ch 1, insert your hook into the first back loop and make a slip stitch (the back loops are marked in red in the photo below). Continue working a slip stitch in the back loop only of each stitch around. At each corner, work (sl st, ch 1, sl st) into the middle chain stitch of the corner space.
Fasten off, weave in all ends.
Blocking
Blocking isn’t absolutely necessary, but if your coaster starts to curl, blocking can help improve its shape. Just give it a light spray with clean water and pin it down on a blocking board, or even directly on a flat surface like a table. Coasters will dry and hold the shape they’re in while damp, so take a moment to gently stretch the corners and sides into a shape you’re happy with before letting them dry.
