Switch Things Up

I love switching up colors when I make a set of coasters; try rainbow rings for a bright stack or match your kitchen with neutral tones.

I sometimes use two strands held together for a chunkier, more absorbent coaster—just make sure your hook matches the combined thickness.

I recommend experimenting with different yarn fibers: cotton is perfect for heat and moisture, while acrylic gives more texture and color variety.

I often add a round of contrasting slip stitch around the edge for a neat, finished look that also helps hide small imperfections.

I like to embroider simple initials on one coaster for a personalized gift; use a tapestry needle and a contrasting yarn color.

I sometimes make mini coaster keychains by reducing rounds and adding a keyring—these make fun small gifts or charms.

I enjoy making a set in seasonal colors for holidays; try autumn shades for fall or pastels for spring entertaining.

I occasionally line the holder interior with a thin felt circle to protect fragile surfaces and keep the stack from sliding.

I have made a waterproof version by using cotton-twine blends and then coating lightly with a fabric-safe sealant for outdoor use.

I encourage you to adjust the number of rounds to make larger or smaller coasters; a couple more increase rounds will give you a larger coaster for platters or pitchers.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the note that all chain stitches count as the first stitch can change your stitch counts; always count the chain as the first stitch when joining each round. ✗ Not joining rounds correctly with a slip stitch will create a visible step in the round; make sure to slip stitch to the top of the chain space to keep rounds even. ✗ Forgetting to leave the five stitches open on the holder will close the opening and prevent inserting coasters; stop scblo after 54 stitches as instructed to leave the opening. ✗ Not weaving in ends securely can let your coasters unravel after use; cut yarn and weave in ends carefully and securely on each piece.

Assembly Instructions

  • Cut yarn and weave in ends on each coaster and the holder to secure your stitches and finish the pieces.
  • Stack the finished coasters neatly and insert them into the holder opening, aligning them so they sit flat.
  • Ensure the holder opening is left where the 5 stitches were left open so coasters slide in easily without snagging.
  • Place the holder on a flat surface and arrange the coasters inside, then display on your table or gift as a set.

Important Notes

  • 💡All chain stitches count as the first stitch when joining rounds; include them in your stitch counts to avoid errors.
  • 💡Leave the 5 stitches open on the holder (after working 54 scblo) to create the opening for inserting coasters.
  • 💡The perimeter slip stitch round on the holder (row 14) adds sturdiness; omit if your holder is already stable after row 13.

This crochet coaster and coaster holder set brings handmade charm to your kitchen or makes a thoughtful gift. Create colorful stacks or a matching monochrome set—either way they are functional and delightful. Enjoy crafting a practical, pretty project that fits into a single afternoon. 🧶☕
