16 Free Crochet Coaster Patterns

Lately, I’ve seen so many cute patterns for crochet coasters and mug rugs. Many crocheters have been focusing on quick, stash-busting projects that don’t require trips to the yarn store, and bloggers have delivered with lots of fast home patterns like coasters!

Coasters and mug rugs are perfect for stash busting — you can make a matching set with one skein, use up the ends of several skeins for a colorful set, or go striped with a scrappy coaster.

I recently released a pair of Boho Bobble Coaster patterns, available in round and square. In honor of the release, I’ve rounded up 16 of my favorite coaster and mug rug patterns from around the interwebs. Whether you’re looking for fringed, colorful, fruity, or plain — read on! These coaster babies are all sorts of adorable. Best of all, the patterns are free!

Before you get started crocheting a new set of coasters, make sure to round up your supplies! I prefer cotton yarn for all my home projects (potholders, cozies, coasters, dishcloths, etc.) because it’s absorbent and easy to wash. Hopefully you have some cotton in your stash already, but if not, worsted weight cotton is readily available at both your local yarn or craft store.

Supplies / Materials:

• Worsted weight cotton yarn (I usually use Lily Sugar n Cream)
• 4.0 – 5.0 mm crochet hook (depends on the pattern)
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
• Scissors
