Lemon, lime, orange, and grapefruit slice coasters in a leafy bowl will be a great decorative and functional addition to your home. This coaster set can add fun to your summer cocktail party. When each coaster is folded in half and placed in the little container, the set looks like a bowl of citrus fruit segments.

Each fruit slice coaster is made with the same method but in different colors. This crochet pattern will be a quick project for intermediate-level crocheters. For adventurous beginners, this pattern can be good practice to get familiar with changing colors, working into back loops only, and altering different types of stitches in one round.

This crochet pattern includes the steps to create 4 coasters and 1 leafy bowl to store the citrus fruit slice coasters.

Difficulty Level: Beginner – Intermediate

The size depends on the yarn weight and the crochet hook size. Try to use a smaller size hook than recommended on the yarn label. As a reference, using the recommended materials and tools, the coaster is approximately 4.25’’ across. The leafy bowl is approximately 1” tall and 3.25’’ across on the bottom (not including the length of the two leaves).
