Crochet coaster // heart crochet coaster / how to make?
Creating a heart-shaped crochet coaster can be a delightful project. Here’s a simple pattern to get you started:
Materials needed:
- Worsted weight yarn in your desired color (such as cotton yarn for durability)
- Crochet hook appropriate for your yarn (typically around size H/5mm)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
Instructions:
- Start by making a slip knot and chaining 4.
- Slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring.
- Round 1: Chain 1 (this does not count as a stitch throughout), then work 3 single crochet into the ring. Then, chain 1, and work 3 more single crochet into the ring. This creates one side of the heart.
- Continue with the other side of the heart: Chain 1, slip stitch into the ring, chain 1, and work 3 more single crochet into the ring.
- Slip stitch into the first single crochet made in Round 1 to join the round.
- Round 2: Chain 1, then work 2 single crochet into each of the next 3 stitches. In the next stitch (the center chain stitch of the heart), work 1 single crochet, 1 half-double crochet, 3 double crochet, 1 half-double crochet, and 1 single crochet. This creates the dip at the bottom of the heart.
- Continue with 2 single crochet in each of the next 3 stitches. Slip stitch into the first single crochet made in Round 2 to join the round.
- Fasten off the yarn and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.
- Optionally, you can block your coaster by dampening it with water and shaping it to lay flat, then allowing it to dry.
- Repeat the process to make more coasters, and enjoy using them or gifting them to loved ones!
Feel free to customize your coaster by using different colors, adding embellishments, or adjusting the size to suit your preferences. Happy crocheting!
