Looking for some cute yet simple crochet coasters for the Holiday season?  These candy cane border coasters are the perfect crochet Christmas coaster pattern for that!

If you are looking for a simple little project with fun Christmas colors for this Christmas season, then these cute candy cane border coasters are perfect! 

I love quick projects like coasters and cup cozies and they even make for great gifts especially around the Holidays.  Be sure to check out some of my other Patterns for more cute gift ideas!

I have included the pattern for both the round coasters and the square coasters!   Not only are they a relatively quick make, they are a really easy pattern as it only uses basic stitches like chain stitches, single crochet stitches and double crochet stitches.

I chose to use Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton yarn for these festive coasters!  This is a 100% cotton, worsted weight yarn.  Some other great cotton yarns that you could use would be 

• Dishie from We Crochet
• I Love This Cotton from Hobby Lobby
• Crafter’s Secret from Hobby Lobby
• Lily Sugar n Cream

These cute coasters will add the perfect splash of Holiday Colors to your home. They make for such cute decor for your coffee table or even on your end tables.

The best thing is that you can get a bunch of these coasters from just one skein of yarn.  This also makes them a great way to use up some of that scrap yarn that you have laying around.  

This easy crochet Christmas coaster pattern uses a fun border stitch called the candy cane border.  It may look like a difficult stitch to do, but once you understand how it works, it is actually a fairly easy stitch to do.  

I have the written instructions for this border below or you can watch the video tutorial for this candy cane border stitch.

Free Pattern 

Round Coasters

With white yarn

Round 1: 12 dc in mc, sl st into 1st st (12)

Round 2: ch 2, 2 dc in each st around, sl st into 1st st (24)

Round 3: ch 2, * 2 dc, dc * repeat * to * around, sl st into 1st st (36)

Cut yarn and weave in ends.  Move on to the border section of the pattern

Square Coasters

With white yarn

Row 1: ch 14, dc in 3rd ch st from hook and in each st across (12)

Row 2 – 6: ch 2, t, dc in each st across (12)

ch 1, evenly sc around the edges placing 2 sc in each corner st, sl st into 1st sc when you get back to the beginning.

Cut yarn and weave in ends.  Move on to the border section of the pattern

Border for both

Beginning anywhere around the edge of your coaster, attach your red yarn and chain 4, in the next st to the left of the red yarn, attach the green and chain 4

Insert your hook back into the red yarn and cross it over in front of the green and sc into the next st

ch 4

Remove hook from red and insert into green. Cross it over in front of the red and sc into the next st, ch 4

Keep continuing in like manner, alternating between the red and green yarn. When you reach the point where you started, depending on how many stitches you have around your border, you may have to skip a stitch in order to keep the color pattern even. You can see here that I have one stitch left, but I’m going to skip it because I don’t want 2 red strands next to each other.

Had green been the next color, I would have worked the stitch. Now we are going to sl st the red into the bottom beginning of the red and the green into the bottom beginning of the green

Cut yarn and weave in all yarn tails and loose ends.

Repeat and make as many coasters as you would like!
