Free Crochet Pattern – Fall Harvest Coaster Set

September 19, 2017 By Jennifer Pionk 4 Comments

Ever since the release of my Retro Christmas Tree Towel I’ve received several requests for seasonal items using the same techniques. This is why I designed this coaster set. I always have the best of intentions, such as “I’ll work on Christmas designs during the summer and Mother’s Day designs at Christmas.” And then before I know it, the next season/holiday is upon us and I haven’t completed a new project! Can you relate?

Although I love the decorative towels I designed for Christmas and Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d go a another route and design a different project for the home this time. The Fall Harvest Coaster Set uses only one pattern to create either pumpkin or apple coasters simply by changing the colors you use. Not a fan of coasters, but love the little basket? The basket itself is great for a variety of things such as a crochet hook holder for the table next to your favorite chair. I also think the coasters would make a great fall bunting you can hang in your home.

Many of these materials are available for purchase through our affiliates below: 

   

 

Stitch Abbreviations

  • ch: chain
  • sc: single crochet
  • dc: double crochet
  • sl st: slip stitch
  • sc2tog: single crochet decrease
  • Alt-ch3: alternate chain 3 click here for photo tutorial
  • st(s): stitch(es)

Gauge

  • In Granny Stitch pattern: 10 sts = 3-1/4″ +  4 rows = 2″

 

Finished Size

  • Coaster without Border: 3-1/2″ W x 3-5/8″ H
  • Coaster with Border: 4″ W x 4-1/2″ H
  • Basket: 2-1/4″ D x 5″ W x 2-1/2″ H

 

Notes

  • I tend to crochet on the tighter side, if you crochet more loosely, you may need to go down a hook size or two to meet gauge. However, this is a pattern for a coaster set and not a fancy sweater so gauge isn’t too terribly important. But would you be upset if you ended up with a hot plate instead of a coaster? If so, better check that gauge. 😉 
  • Beginning ch 3 are counted as a stitch and included in stitch count. Other beginning ch-1 are not included in stitch count, unless stated otherwise.
  • First stitch of each row is worked into the same stitch as turning chain, unless stated otherwise.
  • Color Changes: Work all color changes on the final pull thru of the last stitch you’re working before the new color. Example: If the last st you’re working before a color change is a double crochet, begin your double crochet by inserting your hook where indicated, yo, pull up a loop, yo, pull thru 2 loops, yo with the NEW color, pull thru remaining 2 loops to complete the stitch. Then continue on with your new color. *Click here for Color Change Photo Tutorial.

 

Special Stitch

  • Alternate Ch-3 (alt-ch3): Complete last st of previous row, take loop off hook, insert hook into the space between the last dc and last 3 dc of previous row, put loop back on hook and pull thru space, turn, ch 3. *Click here for photo tutorial.
