Boho Shell Coasters
If you are a beginner crocheter and you have never learned how to crochet in the round, this free crochet coaster pattern is the perfect project to tackle! It is an easy, simple 5-round pattern. Of course, it’s also great for crocheters of all skill levels who are looking to add a little bohemian decor to their home.
This boho crochet pattern is awesome for so many reasons:
- Stash-Buster Project: It’s the perfect way to use up your leftover yarn scrap basket. Each coaster uses a very small amount of yarn!
- Easy Care & Durable: Because they are made with cotton, they are incredibly durable. You can use them, abuse them, and easily wash them—but they are also so fast to crochet that you can whip up a brand-new set in an afternoon if you want a color refresh!
- Beautiful Boho Decor: They are just so pretty and add a gorgeous, textured touch to any coffee table or nightstand.
Materials & Pattern Notes
Any medium-weight worsted yarn (Size 4) works for this pattern. To get the exact look in the picture, I used Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton.
- Crochet Hook: Size G/6 (4.00 mm)
- Crochet Gauge: 16 sc = 4 inches (Gauge is not strictly important for this project, but helpful if you want them a specific size!)
DIRECTIONS:
Ch 2
– Work 6 sc in the second ch from hook ending slip stitch in the first sc.
ROUNDS:
1: Ch 3 (counts as 1st dc throughout the pattern), dc in the same sc as the slip stitch, work 2 dc in each sc around ending slip stitch in the top ch of the beginning ch 3. (12 dc counting the beginning ch 3 as a dc throughout the pattern)
2: Ch 3, dc in the same ch as the slip stitch, work 2 dc in each dc around ending slip stitch in the top ch of the beginning ch 3. It may curl at the end of this round which is OK it will flatten out in the next round. (24 dc)
3: Ch 3, dc in the same ch as the slip stitch, work 2 dc in each dc around ending slip stitch in the top ch of the beginning ch 3. (48 dc)
4: Ch 3, dc in the next dc, *ch 4, skip 2 dc, dc in each of the next 2 dc; repeat from * around working the last repeat ch 4, skip the last 2 dc, slip stitch in the top ch of the beginning ch 3. (24 dc & 12 ch 4 spaces)
5: Slip stitch in the next dc, slip stitch in the first ch 4 space, ch 3, work (2 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) in the same first ch 4 space as the slip stitch, *skip the next 2 dc, work (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) in the next ch 4 space; repeat from * around ending slip stitch in the top ch of the beginning ch 3 & fasten off.
