What Yarn should I use for Crochet Coasters?
I recommend Cotton Yarn for coasters. Cotton is durable and easy to wash and dry, and also holds its shape well. It also absorbs spills and any dampness and can manage high temperatures.
I used a dk weight cotton yarn and a 4mm crochet hook for my coasters. The tight textured stitch pattern creates a sturdy coaster. You could also use a cotton worsted weight yarn and a 5mm hook.
You will only need small amounts of scrap yarn! Acrylic yarn is not recommended for coasters.
What Size is Recommended for a Crochet Coaster Square Pattern?
About 5 inches is a perfect size for a square coaster, the right size to lay a cup or a glass on. You could also make the coaster bigger and crochet some placemats with the funky stripe pattern.
Just crochet a foundation chain the width you want your mat (using a multiple of 2 + 1) and crochet rows until you have a size that you are happy with.
How do you Crochet a Square Coaster?
You can make a square coaster by chaining a foundation chain the size you require and work in rows of single crochet or half double crochet until you have a square shape – all sides are equal.
You could also make a granny square for a coaster, or any crochet square pattern will work beautifully.
The stitch pattern I have used for my coasters is slightly textured but is very easy and quick to make for a beginner! You can make your coaster in a single colour like the blue sample pictured, or in stripes changing color every row.

Bonjour,
Merci beaucoup !
Hi. Nice pattern. Just an observation that the ‘fringe’ you state for each corner are know in UK as tassels. A fringe is a length of added pattern/edging design along the edge of an item for example on a lampshade/blanket.
I love those colors on the striped coaster; can you tell us exactly the name of the colors? Thank you
Hi! It is Hobbii Rainbow cotton and the colors are no’s 22, 34, 87, 91
