Step-by-Step Crochet Pattern

Phase 1 – Base Rounds

Magic Circle Start

Make a Magic Circle.
Chain 1 to secure the circle.
Work 1 single crochet (sc) and then chain 1 into the ring.
Note: This chain 1 counts as your first double crochet (dc).

Round 1

Work 11 more double crochet (dc) stitches into the magic circle.
Total stitches in round: 12 double crochets (counting the initial chain 1 as a dc).
Join with a slip stitch (sl st) into the second double crochet of the round to close.

Round 2

Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch here).
In the same stitch where you joined, work 2 double crochets (dc).
Then work 2 double crochets (dc) into every stitch around.
You will end with 24 double crochet stitches in total.
Join with a slip stitch (sl st) into the second double crochet.

Round 3

Chain 1 (does not count).
Start with 1 double crochet (dc) in the joining stitch.
Next stitch: work 2 double crochets (dc).
Repeat the pattern (1 dc, 2 dc) around the round.
Total of 36 double crochets.
Finish with a slip stitch (sl st) join.

Round 4

Chain 1 (does not count).
Repeat the following pattern around:
- 1 double crochet (dc) in first stitch,
- 2 double crochets (dc) in the next stitch,
- 1 double crochet (dc) in the next stitch.
This pattern (1 dc, 2 dc, 1 dc) increases stitches to a total of 48 double crochets.
Join using a slip stitch (sl st).
Use a needle join for a smooth and invisible finish at this point.

Phase 2 – Decorative Border

Attach Second Color

Join your second yarn color in any stitch on the coaster’s edge where you want to begin the border.

Border Setup

Work 3 single crochets (sc) in the first stitch after joining.
Work 1 single crochet (sc) in the next stitch.

Round 5 Pattern

Repeat the following pattern all the way around:
1. Chain 7.
2. Skip 2 stitches at the back side of the work.
3. In the third stitch, work 3 single crochets (sc).
4. In the next stitch, work 1 single crochet (sc).
This creates a lacy, decorative edge.

Finishing

Complete the final chain 7.
Join with a slip stitch (sl st) into the first single crochet (sc) of this border round.
Cut the yarn, leaving a tail.
Weave in all ends neatly with a yarn needle.

Assembly & Finished Size

No additional assembly needed as the coaster is worked seamlessly in rounds.
Finished diameter approximately 11.5 cm (4.5 inches).
Borders provide both style and subtle texture to hold cups securely.
