Sweet Crochet Heart Coasters to Convert Your Table Aesthetic
Keep the tension even throughout your work for a polished effect, and use lightweight yarn for soft, delicate stitches. This pattern is not only practical but also serves as a beautiful, handmade decoration that’s easy to personalize and use all year round.
Materials Needed
- Yarn: Pink yarn (any yarn weight of your choice).
- Crochet Hook: 5mm hook for an ideal balance between tension and stitch clarity.
- Scissors: To cut the yarn neatly.
- Tapestry Needle: To hide yarn tails and secure the loop.
Begin your project by making a slip knot and chaining 5 stitches, connecting them with a slip stitch to form a loop. Start the second row by chaining 3 and working 4 double crochets into the center of the loop to create the base.
Each row builds on the last, with increases in double crochet stitches—progressing from 4 in the second row to 11 in the fourth and 14 by the fifth—to develop the heart's full outline.
To shape the signature curves, skip certain stitches in rows 6 through 8, and use single crochets, half-double crochets, and double crochets where needed to define the edges.
At the tip of the heart, make 5 single crochets for a sharp, clean point. Finish by crocheting a neat border to make the edges look consistent and symmetrical. For added variety, leave extra yarn to create a loop, converting the coaster into a decorative wall piece.
