Halloween Eyeball Crochet Coaster Pattern

Halloween is just around the corner and this Halloween Eyeball Coaster pattern is a great way to add some fun decor to your home.

They’re quick to make and only use a small amount of yarn so they’re great for craft fairs and last minute gifts. I made them double sided for added thickness and absorbency and so that the back of the coaster looks just as good as the front.

HOW TO CHANGE COLOURS IN HALF DOUBLE CROCHET

Yarn over and insert your hook into the last stitch. Yarn over and pull up a loop, 3 loops on hook. Drop your working yarn and pick up the new colour. Draw the new colour through all 3 loops on your hook to finish the stitch.
