Crochet Christmas Coasters
Materials:
- Sparkly white Red Heart Super Saver yarn
- Red and Green Red Heart Super Saver yarn
- 3.5 mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Darning needle
Pattern Steps:
Base Circle:
- Start with a magic ring.
- Chain 2 (counts as the first double crochet).
- Work 11 double crochets into the magic ring.
- After the 11 double crochets, tighten the magic ring and join to the top of the first double crochet (not the chain 2) with a slip stitch for a total of 12 double crochets (including the chain 2).
Increase Round 1:
- Chain 2, double crochet in the same space.
- Perform an increase by crocheting 2 double crochets in each stitch around the circle.
- Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first double crochet.
In Increase Round 2:
- Chain 2, double crochet in the same space.
- Double crochet in the next stitch, then 2 double crochets in the following stitch. Repeat - around the circle.
- Slip stitch to join.
Increase Round 3:
- Chain 2, double crochet in the same space.
- Double crochet in the next two stitches, then 2 double crochets in the following stitch. Repeat - around the circle.
- Join with a slip stitch and prepare to change yarn.
Color Change and Shell Round:
- Change to green yarn at the join.
- Chain 2, work 2 double crochets in the same space (considered as 2 double crochets in one space).
- Double crochet in the next three stitches, then work 2 double crochets in the following stitch. Repeat - around the circle.
- For the shell round, after changing color to green, you create shells around: Chain 1, skip a stitch, work 3 double crochets in the next stitch for a shell, chain 1, skip a stitch, slip stitch in the next stitch. Repeat this shell pattern around the circle.
Finishing Touches:
Weave:
- in all ends securely.
- To add the red ribbon, thread red yarn through a needle.
Weave:
- the yarn in and out around the coaster edge through the slip stitch spaces, creating a ribbon effect.
- Finish by tying the ends into a bow.
