Round Crochet Coaster

To make these coasters I used a 50% cotton yarn in DK weight and a 4mm crochet hook.

Round 1

ch4, then slst into the first chain to make a loop

ch2 as the first dc, then dc x 11 into the central loop. slst into the top of the ch2

Round 2

ch3 (as the first dc and 1ch) then make 1dc and 1ch into each stitch of the circle. At the end, slst into the second chain of the starting chain.

Round 3

ch2, *make 2dc into the next chain gap, then 1dc into the top of the next stitch. Repeat from * until the end of the round, then slst to the top of the initial chain 2 to join

Round 4

ch2, 1dc x 2, ch1, *1dc x 3, ch1. Repeat from * until the end of the round, then slst into the top of the ch2 to join.

Round 5

ch2, 1dc x 2, 2dc into chain gap, then *1dc x 3, then 2dc into chain gap. Repeat from * until the end of the round, then slst to join into the top of the ch2.

Vintage Style Crochet Coasters

I recommend using a heavier yarn weight for this style. I used the high cotton Lily Sugar N Cream yarn, in a neutral shade, worked with a 5mm crochet hook.

Round 1

ch4, then slst into the first chain to make a loop

ch2 as the first dc, then dc x 11 into the central loop. slst into the top of the ch2

Round 2

ch2 (as the first dc), 2dc x 11, then 1dc into the base of the ch2 stitch. Close by slst to the top of the ch2

Round 3

ch2, *1dc x 2, ch2. *1dc x 3, ch2. Repeat from * until the end of the round, then slst into the top of the ch2.

Round 4

ch1, sc, sk, * make 7dc into the chain gap, sk, sc into center stitch of the cluster of three dc. Repeat until the end of the round, then slst into the initial sc to close.

Easy Crochet Coaster Pattern

This pattern is worked in a continuous spiral, using standard increases from a magic circle. If you’ve ever made amigurumi this is a style of crocheting that will be very familiar, and if you haven’t it’s actually a great, quick way to get a feel for whether you want to commit time to this manner of stitching. Personally, I love the repetition and pattern. Just remember, when working in a continuous spiral stitch markers are essential.

The example you see here was made in a cotton blend DK cream yarn using a 4mm crochet hook.

Round 1

Make a magic circle of eight stitches

Round 2

2sc x 8 (16)

Round 3

(1sc, 2sc) x 8 (24)

Round 4

(1sc x 2, 2sc) x 8 (32)

Round 5

(1sc x 3, 2sc) x 8 (40)

Round 6

(1sc x 4, 2sc) x 8 (48)

Round 7

(1sc x 5, 2sc) x 8 (56)

Round 8

(1sc x 6, 2sc) x 8 (64)

Round 9

(1sc x 7, 2sc) x 8 (72)

Round 10

1sc x 72

slst and tie off, then sew the loose ends into the coaster

Rustic Coaster

I used a fairly harsh textured blended fiber yarn for these crochet coasters. I love how the different colors of the yarn really add to the more rustic look. I worked this coaster in defined rounds, which means you won’t need to use a stitch marker and also gives it a more neat rounded finish.

Round 1

ch4, slst to join

Round 2

ch2, make 11dc into the chain circle. slst into the top of ch2 to join (12)

Round 3

ch2, make 1dc into the same stitch, then make 2dc x 11 (24)

Round 4

ch4 (as the first dc and ch2), *1dc, ch2, sk. Repeat from * until the end of the round. Then slst into the second starting chain.

Round 5

ch2, *3dc into the chain gap, 1dc into the next stitch. Repeat from * until the final chain gap, then make 3dc into that gap and slst into the top of the starting chain.

Round 6

ch2, *1sc x 12, 2sc. Repeat from * until the end of the round, the slst into the top of chain. Tie off, and hide the yarn tails within the coaster.

What You’ll Need

• Elastic hair tie (or a piece of elastic approximately 7 inches long)
• 25g aran weight yarn
• 4mm crochet hook
• scissors
• yarn needle

I find that scrunchies look best when crocheted in aran or chunky weight yarn. I’ve included a few different fiber examples in the photos you’ll find with this pattern, ranging from a wool blend to acrylic and cotton blend yarns. My absolute favorites for these crochet projects is the cotton blend. I think they have the nicest finish, and a slightly firmer texture which gives them a really nice shape when worn.

The other benefit of working with cotton is that your scrunchies will be more likely to cope with long term use and washing as well.

I’m not a big fan of working with plush yarn, so if you make up this pattern with it I’d love it if you could email me a picture of your finished scrunchie if you’re happy to share!

The Stitches

• slst – slip stitch
• sc – single crochet
• dc – double crochet

My Crochet Scrunchie Pattern

If you don’t have a spare hair tie, then a piece of elastic will work just as well. Cut the elastic to be approximately 7 inches long, then tie the two ends together securely. You don’t need to cut the ends of the elastic short, because you’ll be able to hide them inside your first round of stitches. Leaving these long tail ends will make the elastic less likely to come undone over time too.

Round 1

Take your hair tie, and the end of your yarn. Make a loop in the yarn, and put the hook through the center of the hair tie, pick up the yarn, and slip stitch the yarn to the hair tie.

Work around the hair tie, making single crochets. Every ten stitches, push the stitches together so that you cannot see the hair tie between them. I won’t give you an exact number as it will depend upon the size of your hair tie, hook size and yarn weight.

Once you get the start of your stitches, slst into the top of the first stitch to close.

Round 2

ch2, then make 1dc into the same stitch. 2dc into each stitch around the hair tie. At the end of the round, slst into the top of your chain to close.

Round 3

ch2, then make 1dc into each stitch of the round. slst to close, then using your yarn needle weave the tail of the yarn into the scrunchie to hide it.

Crochet Bracelet Pattern

I started by making up the flowers. I used five for my bracelet, but if your wrist is wider or more narrow you might need to make one more or less.

The Flowers

Begin working in your yellow yarn.

Row 1

Make a magic circle of five stitches

cc to white yarn

Row 2

ch2, then make 2dc and slst into the next stitch.

*(ch2, 2dc, slst) into each of the remaining four stitches of the magic circle.

Tie off, sew in the white and one of the yellow yarn ends, snipping them off close to the back of the flower. Leave one long strand of yellow yarn out of the back of each flower for sewing in later.

The Bracelet Band

Make a starting chain that is a multiple of five stitches. It should reach neatly around your wrist with a couple of finger space. I made a chain of 45 stitches.

Now chain five stitches, then slst back into the tenth chain from the hook. Working along the remainder of the chain, slip stitch every five stitches, with a five stitch space.
