Granny square coasters- free pattern

Granny square coasters are a lot of fun to crochet as they work up very quickly. It’s an easy-level crochet pattern witch uses basic stitches: chains and double crochet and that makes it a perfect project for a beginner.

We all have that end table or coffee table where we set our coffee and water and I can’t stand it when a glass sweats and makes a ring of moisture on the table. So when I started to crochet these granny squares using them like coasters felt just right!

Granny square coasters not only look fantastic on a table but also make a great gift for Christmas or a housewarming present. I’ll be giving sets of these granny squares coasters along with my favorite tea and coffee tied up with a turquoise bow.

Make lots of these in all different colors! They are a great stash-buster project and a relaxing one between those big crochet projects.

Skill level: Easy.

For the granny squares coasters you will need:

For my 3 set granny square coasters, I’ve used 30 g for one coaster of Giza cotton (50g= 125m/ 1.76oz= 136 yards) and a 3.5 mm hook. This is the yarn I’ve used:

This is a very high-quality cotton yarn. Mercerising makes cotton yarn glossy and shiny, it keeps its shape and doesn’t shrink in the wash. The yarn becomes extremely durable and more resistant to mold. The wonderful depth of color is also characteristic of mercerized cotton. Since the fibers can absorb more color, the result is a much more intense and lasting color.

The color chart includes plenty of gorgeous colors, you just have to decide what color you like and get started. Here you can buy this yarn: Pink and Turquoise.

 

 

 

I love this yarn, it holds up well to wear and comes in 48 of the most stunning colors! I’ve used it for lots of other projects like this crochet lace scrunchie.

You could make this pattern with acrylic yarn too, but the cotton yarn will be much more absorbent for drinks that sweat – so keep that in mind when you’re choosing yarns!
