Vanilla Crochet Round Coaster Pattern
Don’t let crocheting in the round intimidate you! I did for so many years because I was so scared I’d get it wrong. But it’s okay if you do. Just pull out the stitches, pick up your top loop, confirm your stitch count, and try again.
Give it a try with this vanilla crochet round coaster. This pattern will teach you the basics of crocheting in the round, increasing in the round, and finishing a round.
These are simple round coasters. If you can join a ring, double crochet, chain, and slip stitch, you can make these coasters easily. I use Worsted Weight dishcloth cotton yarn for my projects along with an H-Hook (5.00 mm). I also tend to crochet tight with cotton, so you may need to adjust your hook size for your project to lay flat. With all of that being said, let’s get to the pattern.
Materials:
H — Hook (5.00 mm)
Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn (any worsted weight will work, but cotton will be the most absorbent when it comes to condensation.)
Project Notes:
- The (Chain 2) at the beginning of every round counts as the first stitch.
- The first crochet stitch of each round is always done in the same stitch as the turning chain.
- The last stitch(es) of every round are always done in the top of the last stitch of the previous row, the one hiding beneath the turning chain.
Pattern:
Tie a slip knot around your hook. Chain 4 and slip stitch into the first chain to make a circle. Chain 2.
Round 1: Remember that your (Chain 2) will always count as your first stitch. DC x 11 into the center of the ring. Slip Stitch in the top of the Chain 2 to close the round. (12 stitches)
Round 2: Chain 2. DC in the stitch at the base of the Chain 2. DC 2 times into the next stitch and in the remaining 10 stitches, including the very last stitch tucked under the Chain 2. Slip stitch in the top of the Chain 2 to close the round. (24 stitches)
Round 3: Chain 2. DC in base of Chain 2. DC in next stitch. (2 DC, 1 DC) around, ending with a 1 DC in the stitch tucked under the Chain 2. Slip Stitch in the top of the Chain 2 to close round. (36 stitches)
Round 4. Chain 2. DC in base of the Chain 2. DC in each of the next two stitches. (2 DC, 1 DC, 1 DC) around the circle, ending with a second 1 DC in the last stitch tucked under the Chain 2. Slip stitch to the top of the Chain 2 to close the round. (48 stitches)
Fasten off and weave in the ends.
I hope that you enjoyed crocheting this quick project with me today. Feel free to make and sell these if you want. Make as many as you want and share them with your friends. You can also use this simple pattern to practice color changes on the different rounds, and you can add more increased rounds to make it larger for hot pads, soup pads, plant pads, etc. The possibilities are endless.
Thank you for joining me today and come back again for more patterns, recipes, and homestead news.
