Basic C2C Coasters – Free Crochet Pattern

This is a free crochet pattern for how-to make some basic coasters using the trendy corner to corner pattern. This pattern is super easy, and the coasters work up in no time!

Every month, a group of bloggers are challenged by C’mon Get Crafty to create a new craft or project from their own stash of goodies! Everyone is allowed a $10 allowance for necessities to complete their project (i.e. paint brushes, glue, etc), but the bulk of it must be created from their own stash of goodies.

This month, I am sharing a really simple crochet pattern for some corner to corner coasters. They work up really quickly, and would make a lovely addition to your table, as a gift, or for sale at a local craft fair.

I went digging through my stash for some summery colored cotton yarn, and found the Hot Green and Blueberry colorways. I have used a similar color combo in my Granny Square Soap Cozy (or Small Gift Bag!) Free Crochet Pattern, and I really love it for Summer.

Anywho, stash yarn + my own free crochet pattern = $0 investment

How about some matching Basic C2C Washcloths (Free Crochet Pattern)?

Materials:

• About 25 Yards of Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn (Per Coaster) – I used
  Lily Sugar n Cream in the Hot Green and Blueberry colorways
• H8/5mm Crochet Hook
• #18 Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends
• Optional, Jewelry Pliers

Material Notes:

Yarn Alternatives: Bernat Handicrafter, Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran, Rico Creative Cotton Aran, Crafter’s Secret Cotton Yarn (from Hobby Lobby)

Jewelry pliers are an excellent tool to use to help weave in ends, as cotton yarn can be quite tough on the fingers when weaving in with just fingers and a tapestry needle.

Time Spent:

13 Minutes Per Coaster

Measurements:

4.25″ Square

Gauge:

Not essential. 16 HDC by 10 Rows = 4″

Abbreviations:

• DC – Double Crochet
• SC – Single Crochet

Pattern Notes:

Beginning chain 2 counts as a double crochet.

A box is comprised of four double crochet’s.

The “space under the same chain joined to” is defined as the space between the last two double crochet’s of the previous rows box.

Working the final double crochet into the top of the chain from the previous row helps to keep the edge more even. After completing the first box, your edge may look a little wonky, but no need to stress or straighten as the border will cover this up.

Typically in corner to corner, when working a box that begins with a turn (versus a chain 6), there is not a beginning chain, but in these coasters I added one because there was no give with the cotton yarn. If using anything but cotton yarn, don’t chain here.

In the Border, the chain 1 does not count as a stitch, and join to the first stitch.

Pattern:

Chain 6. DC into the 4th chain, and into each of the next 2. (1 Box)

R2: Chain 6, and turn. DC into the 4th chain, and into each of the next 2, slip stitch into the top of the next chain 2. Chain 2, work 2 DC into the space under the same chain joined to, DC into the top of the last stitch. (2 Boxes)

(III) Chain 2, work 2 DC into the space under the same chain joined to, DC into the top of the last stitch. (3 Boxes)

Please feel free to make and sell your own Basic C2C Coasters using this pattern, but please DO NOT claim this pattern as your own nor should you sell my pattern, and DO NOT re-publish my photos as your own. DO NOT copy and paste my pattern anywhere, link to it instead.

I found this really cute flamingo dish and matching drink cup at my local Dollar Tree. I thought the bright green just fit perfectly with it, and would be great on the center of a plate in setting with a place card on top, or flamingo figurine, or just the matching cup.
