Pumpkin Crochet Coasters

A set you'll pull out every fall - these pumpkin crochet coasters are small, practical, and bring just enough seasonal detail to your table.

When the weather starts cooling down and you switch to warmer drinks, having a set of pumpkin crochet coasters just makes everything feel more like fall without needing a full décor reset.

They're one of those small details that quietly change the look of your space, simple to make, but noticeable every time you use them.

This crochet pumpkin coaster pattern is ideal if you want something themed but still functional. Instead of making purely decorative pieces, you end up with coasters you'll actually reach for - coffee in the morning, tea in the evening, or even when setting the table for Halloween or Thanksgiving.

Because they're small, these pumpkin shaped crochet coasters are perfect for quick makes.

You can finish one in a short sitting, which makes them easy to batch when you want a full set ready for guests, gifts, or seasonal use.

They also fit naturally into your small giftable crochet projects niche.

A set of coasters feels complete on its own, but can also be paired with mugs, candles, or other small items to create a simple, thoughtful gift.

Materials Needed

Yarn

#2 light (DK, light worsted, 8ply) 100% cotton or cotton blend yarn with about 15 wraps per inch (WPI)*

• You will be working with doubled stranded. You can pick 2 yarn colors that compliment each other or 2 balls of the same color.
• You will need about:
  • Col A, pumpkin color, e.g. orange, about 0.40 ounces, 27 yards (11 grams, 25 meters) of yarn
  • Col B, stem color, e.g. brown, about 0.04 ounces, 2.5 yards (1 gram, 2.3 meters) of yarn
  • Col C, leaf color, e.g. green, about 0.04 ounces, 2.5 yards (1 gram, 2.3 meters) of yarn

Hook

• 4.5 mm (7) hook
• 3.5 mm (E/4) hook

Other

• Yarn needle
• Scissors

*Wraps per inch (WPI) - this is a measure of yarn thickness. To measure WPI, count how many times the yarn wraps around a ruler in one inch. There are more wraps for thinner yarn and fewer wraps for thicker yarn.

Skill Level

★★☆☆☆ - Beginner

This crochet pumpkin coaster took me about 30 minutes to make.

Yarn and Hook Information

I recommend using cotton yarn for these coasters as it is more durable and can handle heat well.

You can also use thicker cotton yarn, such as #4 (worsted, 10 ply), just adjust the hook size accordingly.

If you do use #4 worsted weight yarn, you will not need to work double stranded.

The reason why I use 2 strands of #2 light cotton yarn is so that you can play with color variations by using complimenting strands of yarn. Or if worsted weight yarn is not available to you.
