I designed this free Mandala Coaster Crochet Pattern in August and released it in September on Instagram. It is an easy-to-crochet project that you can make and give as gifts.
This Mandala Coaster is crocheted using the left-over bits from my Stone Washed and River Washed Colour Pack, but you can make it with any Sport Weight / Baby Weight Yarn and a 4 mm (G) hook.
If you use a heavier yarn, I recommend you also use the hook specified on the yarn label. It will change the finished project’s size but this Mandala will make a lovely table doily too.
Yarn: Scheepjes Stone Washed and River Washed Yarn. 50 g (1.76 oz) and 142 yds (130 m). 78% Cotton and 22% Acrylic. Sport Weight Yarn [2]. Machine Wash Gentle, Dry Flat.
Colors: Miscellaneous stashed/left-over yarn colors from my Stone Washed / River Washed Colour Pack
Hook: 4 mm (G).
Finished Project Yardage: less than 10 g of each color (less than 29 yards)
Scissors, Yarn Needle, Stitch Marker
Difficulty Level
Easy-Intermediate
Finished Size
Mandala Coaster Diameter approximately 5.75 inches
Gauge
Approximately 2 rows of dc in 1 inch and 4 sts per inch
You can substitute any yarn and hook for this stitch pattern – just remember when you substitute if your gauge is different, the finished size, and amount of yarn used for your project will also be different.

Hi Isabel, There is a mistake in that round. Thank you for catching it! It should be: R3: Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), 1 more dc in the same st, 1 dc in the next st. *2 dc in the next st, 1 dc in the next st**. Rep from * to ** around. Finish off with an invisible join. [36 dc]
This will increase the round by 12 stitches for 36 stitches.
Thank you for catching this and letting me know so I could fix it! I appreciate it 🙂 Also thank you for liking the coaster ♥ Best, Rhondda
Thank you so much, this is the prettiest coaster crochet pattern ever. I have a question about round 3. (I’m a beginner, so sorry ahead of time). When I follow Round 3, I end up with 37 dc, not 36. Is it maybe missing “one dc in the next stitch” before the repeating part begins? Either way, this is the loveliest coaster pattern. Thank you. Love your site.
Yes of course 🙂 you can always sell what crochet from any of my patterns. I only ask that if someone asks for the pattern, that you refer them to my website to get it please. Thanks! Rhondda
Hi! I made this for one of my friends and she asked if I was selling it for the holidays so she can get her friends one, too. Would it be alright to sell the finished product we make with your free pattern? ❤️ thank you.
If I have to make a doily then how do I do theincrease in the rows
