Shay Coasters – Easy Free Crochet Pattern | Easy Single Crochet Coaster Pattern

September 18, 2021

This is a free crochet pattern for how to crochet the Shay Coasters, which is an easy crochet project worked in simple single crochet stitches. You can also use this little square as a mini washcloth.

Find the free crochet pattern instructions below, or purchase a printer-friendly, ad-free PDF on Ravelry by clicking here.

This post contains affiliate links for WeCrochet. If you make a purchase by clicking on them, I make a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thanks for your support!

I will be teaching a crochet class at America’s Antique Mall in Melbourne, Florida next month, and I wanted to share a project that was easy enough for someone who had never crocheted before so I chose this Shay Coaster to go along with a similar dish scrubbie made from Scrub-ology Scrub It nylon yarn.

While this is a coaster, it can also be used as a mini washcloth so together they make a great set, and are beginner friendly projects.

AD-FREE, PRINTER FRIENDLY PDF:

If you would like a PDF version of this post, you may get one through either my EyeLoveKnots Etsy Shop, Ravelry or LoveCrafts Shop for a small fee. This fee is to compensate for the views lost when you no longer need to return to the blog to for the information, as you will have your own copy. Plus! It helps fund supplies for new projects to share with you!

Materials:

  • Small Amount of Worsted Weight Yarn – I used WeCrochet Dishie in Jalapeno
  • H8/5mm Crochet Hook
  • Tapestry Needle
  • Optional, Jewelry Pliers

Material Notes:

Yarn Alternatives: Lily Sugar n Cream, Red Heart’s Smoothie

If you are only making a coaster that will house a cold or hot beverage, you can use acrylic as an alternative with an I9/5.5mm hook – just do not put anything fresh from the oven on the acrylic coaster, or you will melt the fibers and risk burning yourself.

Other Recommended Yarns (with I9/5.5mm Hook): Red Heart’s Super Saver, Caron’s One Pound, Bernat’s Super Value

Weaving in ends of a tough yarn, like cotton yarn, can be hard on the fingers. Sore thumbs and frustration can be a thing of the past by simply using jewelry pliers to [carefully] help pull the tapestry needle through the work.

Time Spent:

I was able to work one coaster up in just under 20 minutes.

Measurements:

3.88″ (3 7/8″) Square

Gauge:

6 SC = 1.63″ (1 5/8″) OR In Pattern, 13 SC = 3.5″ Wide

Abbreviation (US Term):

  • SC – Single Crochet (Photo Tutorial)

Pattern Note:

Beginning chain 1 does not count as a stitch.

Shay Coaster Video Tutorial:

Shay Coaster Crochet Pattern:

Chain 14. SC into the 2nd chain from the hook, and each chain across. (13 SC)

R2 – 14: Chain 1, turn. SC into the 1st SC, and each SC across. (13 SC)

Border: Chain 1, turn. SC into the 1st 12 SC, (SC, chain 1, SC) into the next SC, SC 13 down the side of the coaster, (SC, chain 1, SC) into the next stitch, SC 11 across the opposite side of the foundation chain, (SC, chain 1, SC) into the next stitch, SC 13 up the side of the coaster, SC into the same stitch as the 1st, then join to the 1st SC.

Fasten Off, and Weave in Ends.

Please feel free to make and sell your own Shay 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 can do the single crochet stitch! I learned a tiny bit of crochet at the beginning of the pandemic last year. THANK YOU for the pattern–I want to try this!

    Thanks so much for joining the Grace at Home party at Imparting Grace. I’m featuring you this week!

Welcome!

Welcome!

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.
