Crochet Cat Coaster Pattern
Are you a cat lover and a crocheter? This crochet cat coaster is the purr-fect way to add some feline charm to your home.
This crochet cat coaster pattern is quick, easy and fun! Make them in any color to suit your style or to match your favorite feline friend.
My colour choices were inspired by Halloween as these cat coasters are a great way to add a subtle seasonal touch to your home.
I love the simplicity of these cat coasters, but feel free to embellish them by embroidering a face with whiskers or adding a little bow, get creative.
About the Pattern
This crochet cat coaster is worked in joined rounds. The ch 1 at the beginning of each round does not count as a stitch, place the first stitch of the round in the same stitch as joining.
We’ll begin by making 10 half double crochet in a magic ring and increasing over a number of rounds to create a flat circle.
The final round is when we’ll add a fun trim and the cute little ears.
Recommended Yarn
I always recommend cotton yarn for coasters as it’s durable, absorbent, holds up well to heat and is easy to wash – all the things that you want in a crochet coaster.
For this pattern, I’ve used worsted weight yarn with a 3.5mm hook.

Pattern Instructions
Cat Coaster
Make a magic ring.
R1: Ch 1, 10 hdc in magic ring, sl st to first hdc to join (10)
R2: Ch 1, [hdc-inc] x10, sl st to first hdc to join (20)
R3: Ch 1, [hdc, hdc-inc] x10, sl st to first hdc to join (30)
R4: Ch 1, hdc, hdc-inc, [2 hdc, hdc-inc] x9, hdc, sl st to first hdc to join (40)
R5: Ch 1, [3 hdc, hdc-inc] x10, sl st to first hdc to join (50)
R6: Ch 1, 2 hdc, hdc-inc, [4 hdc, hdc-inc] x9, 2 hdc, sl st to first hdc to join (60)
Tip: When working the ch 1, sl st combination in the next round, keep the chains loose between slip stitches.
R7: [Ch 1, sl st in next st] x19, ch 1, sc, hdc, dc, (2 tr, ch 1, 2 tr in next st), dc, hdc, sc, [sl st] x8, sc, hdc, dc (2 tr, ch 1, 2 tr in next st), dc, hdc, sc, [ch 1, sl st in next st] x19
Ch 1, do not tighten ch. Fasten off invisibly by inserting your needle through the front loop of the sl st join from R6 and the back loop of the first ch 1 from R7. Complete the invisible join as normal.
Weave in ends.
Gently stretch and manipulate the stitches so that the coaster lies flat and the ears looks even.
