Crochet Square Coaster Pattern

This crochet square coaster pattern is worked in rounds with increases made at the corners to make it square. It’s simple and quick to crochet, making it easy for a beginner as well.

Crochet square coasters shown in yellow and green.

The finished size measures 4″ across, making it the perfect size for my favorite tea and coffee cups. It features a couple open stitches, but it’s still solid enough to protect your kitchen table and computer desk.

Last, but not least, since this has such a pretty lace, you might even enjoy this in a cool afghan as well. Or crochet up a small treasure bag for your child by sewing two squares together along three edges and attaching a small handle.
