\"\"The four corners crochet coaster pattern is very quick and easy to crochet. As a matter of fact, it’s so easy a new crochet beginner can master it. And you can use this free crochet pattern to make a coaster, a small bag or even a full-sized afghan.<\/p>\n

The finished size of this coaster measures 4 inches square. It has four open holes close to the corners, which kind of makes it look pretty.<\/p>\n

To get started, you will need to gather your materials. You only need a small amount of a worsted weight yarn. If making a coaster, I would recommend a cotton yarn. But if making an afghan square, you can use just about any worsted weight yarn that you have on hand.<\/p>\n

As for your hook size, you will need an H\/8-5.00mm.<\/p>\n

To begin crocheting, you will make a slip knot on your crochet hook and make 4 chains. Join the last chain to the first chain made to form a small circle.<\/p>\n

Round 1: Chain 1, work 2 single crochet into each chain. (You can also work 8 single crochet directly into the circle to make it easier.) Join with a slip stitch in first single crochet. (8 stitches made)<\/p>\n

Round 2: Chain 1, 2 half double crochet in same stitch as join and into each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch in first stitch. (16 stitches made)<\/p>\n

Round 3: Chain 1, 2 half double crochet in same stitch as join, 2 half double crochet in next 2 stitches, chain 2, *skip next stitch, 2 half double crochet in next 3 stitches, chain 2; repeat from * around to last stitch, skip last stitch. Join with a slip stitch in top of first stitch. (24 stitches and 4 chain-2 spaces made)<\/p>\n

Round 4: Chain 1, half double crochet in same stitch as join, half double crochet into next 5 stitches, *7 half double crochets in chain-2 space, half double crochet in next 6 stitches; repeat from * around to last chain-2 space; 7 half double crochet in last chain-2 space. Join with a slip stitch in first stitch. (52 stitches made)<\/p>\n

Round 5: Chain 1, single crochet in same stitch as join and into each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch in first single crochet. (52 stitches made) Fasten off and weave in your ends.<\/p>\n

The crochet coaster may look a bit ruffled, but once you flatten it down a bit with your hands it’ll stay that way. And it’s just big enough to hold a coffee mug.<\/p>\n

And if using this pattern to crochet an afghan, you can use up your scrap yarns. However, when you do your joins, I would pick a neutral color that works with all the colors that you used to make your squares. And there are many ways to join the squares. A simple single crochet always looks nice, but since these edges are a bit rounded, the flat-braid or any other similar and lacy technique will work.<\/p>\n
