The FREE pattern for these Crochet Fringed Coasters is an incredibly easy, beginner friendly pattern and is available, complete with photos, below.    These coasters make up so quickly you can make a set for yourself and gift a set to friends, co-workers, neighbors and new homeowners.  For a great teacher gift find a cute mug, make a coaster to match and add a gift card.  They will love it!!

INSPIRATION

I was looking through a magazine and came across an ad for a craft site and the advertisement showed a set of fringed coasters. They were made of macrame and if I joined the sight I could get the pattern.  I chose not to join and even though I didn’t have a pattern, I knew right away I could create my own version of these coasters using chunky yarn instead of macrame rope. I decided to go with a two-toned look and I love how these Crochet Fringed Coasters turned out, I love how they give off a bit of a BOHO vibe, and I love how super simple they are to make!

CROCHET ABBREVIATIONS (US terms)

ch – chain
sc – single crochet
slp st – slip stitch
st/sts – stitch/stitches

Pattern - CROCHET FRINGED COASTERS

Beginning Round – make a magic ring, sc 6 into ring, slp st

Round 2 – ch 1, sc 2 in each st around, slp st  – (12)

Round 3 – ch 1, *sc 2 in the next st, sc 1 in the next*, repeat around, slp st  – (18)

Round 4 – ch 1, *sc 2 in the next st, sc 1 in the next 2 sts*, repeat around, slp st – (24)

If using Lion Brand Hometown Yarn, tie off and weave in tails at this point.

NOTE:

Some brands of super bulky 6 yarn are not as thick as Lion Brand Hometown Yarn, which is what I used.  If your coaster is smaller than 3″ wide after Round 4 you will want to add a 5th round.

**Round 5 – ch 1, *sc 2 in the next st, sc 1 in the next 3 sts*, repeat around, slp st – (30) 

 Tie off and weave in tails

ADDING FRINGE

Cut 12 – 8″ pieces of yarn for each color of yarn.

NOTE:  the 24 pieces will be cut down considerably once they are attached to the coaster, but I find it is much easier to thread through and tie longer pieces than shorter ones.  

Start with one color of yarn and separate out six pieces of that color.  

Thread your needle with the first piece of yarn then insert the needle through one of the stitches on the coaster (left photo).

Pull the yarn through about half way.

Turn the needle around and insert is back down through the same stitch.   You will want to form a loop as you are pulling the yarn back through by keeping your index finger in place as your pull the yarn down around it (middle & right photos).

Using your thumb and index finger, open up the loop (left photo).

With those same fingers in the loop, grab the ends of the piece of yarn (middle photo).

Pull the ends through the loop (right photo).

Tighten up the loop snug to the coaster (left photo).

Thread another piece of yarn and insert your needle in the very next stitch from the first attached yarn piece.

Snug that piece up to the coaster.

Repeat in the next four stitches until all 6 pieces of the same color of yarn have been attached in a row.

Separate out six pieces of the second yarn color and attach them to the coaster right next to the first set of six pieces (middle photo).

Repeat around until all 24 pieces have been attached to the coaster (right photo).

To fray the yarn pieces use your finger to separate the first piece into two separate sections (left and middle photo).

Now separate each of the two sections and you will have four individual strands per yarn piece (right photo).

Repeat with each yarn piece around until all pieces have been frayed.

TRIMMING FRINGE

The left photo shows a coaster with frayed fringe before trimming.

With a measuring tape start at the point where the yarn piece loops were pulled snug to the coaster.  From there measure out 1 1/4″ and make your first cut there (middle photo).

Cut all the frayed strands around at the 1 1/4″ mark (right photo).
