Inside: Discover the artistry and functionality of handcrafted decor with our latest blog post on crochet coaster patterns. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, these unique designs promise to add a touch of charm to your home while ensuring your surfaces remain spotless.
Coasters are a lovely practical accessory that are in quite literally every home.
Sure, you can buy some at the store, but if you’re a crocheter, I have great news for you. Coasters are one of the quickest, most versatile projects you can make.
There are so many types, so many shapes, so many aesthetics, so many options. They make a great quick project, a great housewarming gift, or a great market craft because everyone uses them.
Today I’ve rounded up fifteen crochet coaster patterns for every aesthetic and the types of yarn to use when making coasters because, yes, it does matter!
Best Yarn to Use
- Cotton: Cotton is super absorbent, making it a great choice for coasters. This is also the option to go with if you’re planning on using a coaster for a hot beverage. Cotton will stay sturdy whether the beverage is hot or cold.
- Acrylic: Acrylic can also be used for coasters, but you’ll only want to use those coasters for cold beverages. Acrylic yarn can possibly melt if the coaster is used for a hot beverage.
