PATTERN LEVEL: BEGINNER-INTERMEDIATE

Create your own Crochet Coaster with one of 5 different options of Animal Faces: cat, dog, bear, bunny or frog!

The PDF and printable versions are available in my PATTERN SHOP!

For this project you’ll need:

Suggested materials:

• 3.5 mm crochet hook with medium-weight yarn (4/Worsted) in the colours of your choice
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle

Yarn information:

For this project, I used mainly:

• Medium-weight yarn (4/Worsted) Bernat Handicrafter 100% cotton from Bernat
• Medium-weight yarn (4/Worsted) Lily Sugar’n Cream 100% cotton from Yarnspirations

Size:

My finished pieces measure approximately 9 to 10 cm (just the base of the coaster, not counting the animal ears and features). However, the size of your finished item may vary depending on your yarn tension and the materials used. If you’re using a different hook or yarn size, be sure to adjust the placement and size of the eyes accordingly.

My abbreviations (based on US terms):

• MR - magic ring
• ST - stitch
• CH - chain
• SL ST - slip stitch
• SC - single crochet
• HDC - half double crochet
• DC - double crochet
• TR - treble crochet
• ( )xNUMBER - number of times you have to repeat everything inside the brackets
• { } - number of stitches worked in the same stitch
• square brackets - total number of stitches on the row

Tips:

• If you’re unfamiliar with any crochet stitches used in this pattern, try searching YouTube for “stitch name + tutorial.” You’ll find plenty of beginner-friendly, detailed video guides.

• In crochet, yarn over (YO) and yarn under (YU) refer to how the yarn is wrapped around the hook when making stitches. Yarn over (bringing the yarn over the hook from back to front) is the standard technique and is used throughout all my patterns unless stated otherwise. Yarn under (bringing the yarn under the hook from front to back) creates tighter stitches and a firmer fabric. Using yarn under instead of yarn over may result in slight differences, such as a smaller final piece, more visible slip stitches, and a firmer, less soft texture.
