Crochet Orange Coaster Pattern For Beginners

The Crochet Orange Coaster Pattern is a fun and easy project to work on. It's all about making a small, round coaster that looks like a slice of orange.

Crochet Orange Coaster Pattern

You start with some white yarn to make the center, then switch to orange yarn to crochet the main part. As you crochet, you make the coaster bigger by adding more stitches in a circle. In the end, you switch back to white yarn to add a nice border. To make it look even more like an orange, you add some white lines from the center to the edge. This project is great because it doesn’t take much yarn or time, and you end up with a cute coaster to keep your drinks on.

Materials Needed:

• Crochet hook (size 4.5 mm)
• White cotton yarn
• Orange cotton yarn

Pattern Instructions:

Center Circle (White)

1. Start by making a magic ring with the white yarn.
2. Chain 1 to secure the magic ring.
3. Work 8 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring.
4. Pull the tail yarn to close the ring.
5. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc.
6. Chain 1 and then trim the yarn.

Increase Rounds (Orange)

1. Attach the orange yarn with a slip knot.
2. Chain 1.
3. Work 2 sc in each stitch around for a total of 16 sc.
4. Join with a sl st to the first sc, chain 1 for the next round.

Second Round of Increases

1. 1 sc in the first stitch, 2 sc (increase) in the next. Repeat - around.
2. You should have 24 stitches at the end of this round.
3. Join with a sl st to the first sc, chain 1 for the next round.

Third Round of Increases

1. 1 sc in each of the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the following stitch. Repeat - around.
2. You should have 32 stitches at the end of this round.
3. Join with a sl st to the first sc, chain 1 for the next round.

Fourth Round of Increases (Make only for larger coaster)

1. 1 sc in each of the next 3 stitches, 2 sc in the following stitch. Repeat - around.
2. You should have 40 stitches at the end of this round for the smaller coaster. For larger coaster, add another increase round to have 48 sc.
3. Join with a sl st to the first sc, then chain 1, and trim the yarn.

Border Round (White)

1. Connect white yarn with a slip knot.
2. Work 1 sc in each stitch around without increasing.
3. Keep stitches loose to prevent curling.
4. Join with a sl st to the first sc and trim the yarn.

Final Round (Orange)

1. Re-attach the orange yarn with a slip knot.
2. Work 1 sc in each stitch around as you did with the white yarn.
3. Join with a sl st to the first sc and trim the yarn.

Adding the Orange Sections:

1. Calculate 8 equal sections using the total number of stitches (for 40 stitches, every 5 stitches will be one section).
2. Use white yarn to create slip stitch segments from the center to the marker point for each section to give the look of an orange slice.

Finishing:

1. Weave in all loose ends.
2. Optionally, apply a stiffening spray to help the coasters maintain their shape.
