FAQ
When it comes to crocheting coasters, most patterns use basic crochet stitches, like:
Single Crochet (sc) - The single crochet stitch is a small stitch that creates a tight and sturdy fabric.
It is ideal for coasters because of its dense texture, which helps protect surfaces from moisture.
Half Double Crochet (hdc) - Half double crochet is a little taller than single crochet, which makes for a slightly looser fabric.
This creates a nice texture and is faster to work up than single crochet.
Double Crochet (dc) - The double crochet stitch is taller than half double crochet and makes a looser and more open fabric.
It is a great stitch to use if you want a slightly lacey or open-textured coaster.
Treble (or Triple) (tr) - The treble crochet stitch is even taller than the double crochet, creating a more open and airy fabric.
And some patterns will use stitch combinations like:
Moss Stitch - also known as linen stitch, is a lovely textured fabric that is dense and looks like it was woven or knitted. You can see an example of this stitch in this crochet dishcloth pattern.
Granny Stitch is usually used for making granny squares but can also be used to create coaster-sized shapes, like the crochet heart coaster.
This stitch is a cluster of double crochet stitches separated by chain spaces. Using this stitch will give a classic vintage look to your coasters.
