Fall Harvest Crochet Coaster Pattern with Holder

Get your fall decor ready with this cute crochet coaster pattern!

With this simple crochet coaster pattern you’ll use only one square pattern to create either pumpkin coasters or apple coasters simply by changing the colors you use. Or, forgo the color changes and make a crochet coaster to match your home decor.

You’ll find the free crochet coaster pattern (with holder) below, or an ad-free print friendly PDF (including all photo tutorials) on Ravelry, or on Etsy (aff).

Crochet coasters are fun projects when you’re looking for something to quickly add to your home decor.

And what’s better than easy crochet coasters? A crochet coaster pattern free with holder!

How To Crochet Coasters

This crochet coasters pattern uses the classic granny crochet stitch worked in rows (also referred to as the granny stripe stitch) and double crochet stitches.

The fall coasters are made using one small granny stitch square. Simply change the colors you’re using to crochet a pumpkin coaster, or to crochet an apple coaster.

You’ll learn to work color changes using intarsia crochet. I have a photo tutorial with tips for working color changes with the granny stitch.

After crocheting the square crochet coasters, you’ll add a simple single crochet border. Using a contrasting color yarn adds a nice pop of color.

If you love like to have a little caddy to hold your coasters, I’ve included instructions to crochet a cute little textured coaster holder. This small crochet basket is worked in one piece from the bottom up.

YARN

Cotton is my go-to fiber for crochet dish cloths, dish towels, and hand towels as it’s the most absorbent. I also love to use it for crochet coasters because it will absorb the water from a sweaty glass.

There are several cotton yarns out there that would be perfect for this project, but I chose to use Lily Sugar n’ Cream 100% worsted weight cotton yarn.

Lily Sugar n’ Cream and Peaches & Creme are available in dozens of colors so I was able to find the perfect colors I needed for this project.

YARN SUBSTITUTION

100% cotton yarns make the best yarn to use for crochet coaster. If you want to substitute another yarn, I recommend using a cotton blend yarn that is at least 50% cotton. Anything less, and your coasters will not be as absorbent.

Pattern Notes

• I tend to crochet on the tighter side, if you crochet more loosely, you may need to go down a hook size or two to meet gauge. However, this is a pattern for a coaster set and not a fancy sweater so gauge isn’t too terribly important. But would you be upset if you ended up with a hot plate instead of a coaster? If so, better check that gauge. 😉

  • Sage Green (CB): 70 yards
  • Red (CC): 24 yards
• Color Changes: Work all color changes on the final pull thru of the last stitch you’re working before the new color. Example: If the last st you’re working before a color change is a double crochet, begin your double crochet by inserting your hook where indicated, yo, pull up a loop, yo, pull thru 2 loops, yo with the NEW color, pull thru remaining 2 loops to complete the stitch. Then continue on with your new color.
