Crochet Stitches

For this crochet Christmas coaster pattern you will need to know how to make a magic ring, chain stitch, single crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, and slip stitch.

Crochet Picot Stitch

The easy crochet project uses a picot stitch as a decorative feature. If you do not know how to make this read our blog post on how to crochet picot stitch to learn more.

Yarn and Hook Information

We used a variegated #4 medium worsted weight yarn with approximately 11 wraps per inch (WPI).

Although a 5-5.5mm hook is typically recommended for this yarn weight, we found that using a 4mm hook provided a better-finished look for the Christmas tree coasters.

When choosing yarn for this project, aim for #4 medium worsted weight yarn, which generally falls between 9-12 WPI.

Due to the shape of these coasters, using lighter-weight yarn may result in smaller coasters that might be too small for some cups.
