Crochet Peppermint Coaster Pattern

Materials Needed:

5mm crochet hook
Yarn (suggested "Big Twist" yarn in deep red and white, but color is customizable)
Stitch marker (bobby pin can be used)
Yarn needle (for weaving in ends)

Coaster Pattern:

Base Circle:

Start with a Slip Knot:

Place a slip knot on your hook.

Chain 4:

Make 4 chains. This counts as your first stitch and chain space.

10 Double Crochets into the 4th Chain from the Hook:

Work 10 double crochets into the fourth chain from the hook (the first chain you made). This will form a circle.

Join with a Slip Stitch:

After completing the 10 double crochets, join to the top of the beginning chain-3 with a slip stitch to close the circle.

Increase Rounds:

Round 2 (Increase to 20 Stitches):

Chain 2 (does NOT count as a stitch), then make 2 double crochets in each stitch around. Slip stitch to the first double crochet (not the chain 2) to join. You should have 20 double crochets.

Round 3 (Increase to 30 Stitches):

Chain 2, in the base of the same stitch (first stitch of the previous round), make 2 double crochets. In the next stitch, make 1 double crochet. Repeat this pattern around ([2 dc in next stitch, 1 dc in next] around). Join with a slip stitch to the first double crochet. You should have 30 double crochets.

Creating the Edging:

Chain 5:

This begins your peppermint stripe edging. Ensure to pull up a loop and secure it so it does not unravel when changing colors.

Change Color & Peppermint Stripes:

Attach your second color with a slip stitch in the next stitch from where you left off. Chain 5 and continue this process, alternating colors each time to create the peppermint stripe effect. Ensure to work in a way that prevents the yarn from tangling by properly managing your yarn strands.

Finishing the Round:

Continue the pattern around. You will end up with 30 chain-5 loops that create the peppermint border.

Securing and Weaving Ends:

Once completing the final loop, cut the yarn leaving a tail. Pull this tail through the loop on your hook and fasten it off. Use a yarn needle to weave in all ends securely.
