It is November which, in my book, means that we can officially start talking Christmas crochet projects. Do you decorate for Christmas? We do some, but not over the top. According to some of my friends you can start decorating in September! However you decorate, and whenever, let’s spruce up the dining room table with these fast Christmas Ornament Coasters!
Christmas Ornament Coasters
These Christmas coasters are super fast and remarkably easy. If you are new to crochet, this is an excellent opportunity to learn a few different techniques that will really take you to a whole new level!
Materials:
Super Bulky/size 6 yarn (less than 9 yards (8.23 m) per coaster)
-Red, Green
Bulky/size 5 yarn – Gold for “topper”
(honestly, I just pulled scrap yarn from my Yarn Wall. You don’t need much!)
Crochet hook in size M/N – 9mm
Pattern Notes:
Use the Magic Circle to start. If you don’t know how, this is a great chance to learn! Here’s a Magic Circle tutorial.
We use the Crab Stitch in the last row. If you are just learning, here’s a great Crab Stitch tutorial.
Fasten off using the Invisible Join. This creates a seamless, knotless join that is beautiful to behold! 😉
Use the Standing Double Crochet to start ornament “topper”.

Pattern:
Round 1: Magic Circle. Ch-2, 10dc in circle. (10) Pull circle closed.
Wanna save this for later?
We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it when you're ready.
Round 2: Ch-2, 2dc in between each st from round 1. (20)
Round 3: Ch-1, crab stitch in 18 sts only, leaving two unworked as shown.
Fasten off using a version of the Invisible Join. Weave in ALL ends.
Adding ornament “topper”…
Using Standing Double Crochet (or attach with sl st, ch-2) dc in first open space. Dc again in same space. 2dc in next st, 2dc in next st. Fasten off and weave in ends.
That. Is. It!
Isn’t that the easiest, most fun little coaster pattern you ever did see? I hope you love this pattern, and you could even make them as regular coasters if you’re not big into holiday decorating. To do this, simply complete the crab stitch row all the way around and omit the ornament “topper”. Too easy!
I hope you love this pattern, and there are more where this came from!

When I complete my rounds, I am left with a very large gap. Is that supposed to be cinched closed while weaving in the ends? Or do I somehow make the topper in that space? A full video of start to finish would be helpful.
Great project idea for the holidays, and I love how your Christmas ornament coasters turned out! Today I’ve featured your pattern on Crafts on Display, hope you enjoy it! https://craftsondisplay.com/crochet/christmas-bauble-coasters-145061/
I’m new to crocheting so thanks for the new techniques. I found the videos helpful. Thanks.
Two great video tutorials!!! Thank you so much for sharing the “crab stitch” and the “invisible join”.
So easy, not sure how to join crab stitch of a round to first one, slip stitch? Thanks for sharing.
How do I down load the free pattern to print it out? I don’t see where that option is.
