CROCHET COASTER – Free Crochet Pattern

As you may have seen, I published a pattern for the Springridge Place Mat earlier this week and, due to popular demand, I am also publishing a matching crochet coaster to make it a set!

The inherent nature of a crochet coaster is that it’s small, easy and almost like a ‘swatch’ itself, so I can tell you that this cutie is 4″ x 4″ and features the Puff Stitch border down one side of the coaster to match the place mat.

If you would like to PURCHASE THE SET for a low price, they’re available in my Etsy Shop as a combo HERE.

Happy Crocheting and I hope you make these crochet coasters to go with the place mat!

Check out the matching crochet place mat to the Springridge Set, the Belle Bobble Basket or the Faith Crochet Throw for more home ideas!

PATTERN AND SIZING NOTES

– This crochet farmhouse crochet coaster is worked in one piece from side-to-side.
– The CH’s at the beginning of each round count as a stitch.
– You must know Moss Stitch (SC, SK ST, SC in the next space) and Puff Stitch to complete this project
– Moss Stitch = CH 2 at the beginning of the row, SC in to the 2^nd ST, CH 1 & SK ST, SC in to the 4^th ST, CH 1 & SK ST etc)
– Puff Stitch = YO, insert your hook into the MS space, pull through. Yarn over again and pull up a long loop and insert your hook into the same MS space and pull through again. Do this TWO more times so there are 9 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 9 loops on your hook. CH 1 to close the ST.
– Stitch count for each round will be indicated in parentheses ( ) at the end of the row
