Crochet Doughnut Coasters and Holder Set
Materials you’ll need:
– Worsted weight yarn in various colors (brown for the doughnut base, and different colors for the frosting)
– Crochet hook suitable for your yarn weight
– Yarn needle
– Scissors
Doughnut Coasters:
1. Begin with the doughnut base. Start with a magic ring and crochet 12 single crochet stitches (sc) into the ring. Pull the ring tightly to close.
2. Round 1: Work 2 sc into each stitch around (24 stitches).
3. Round 2: *1 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the following stitch* Repeat from * to * around (36 stitches).
4. Rounds 3-6: Work 1 sc in each stitch around (36 stitches). These rounds will form the sides of the coaster.
5. Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.
Frosting:
You can get creative with the frosting by choosing different colors and patterns for each coaster.
1. Start with a magic ring and crochet 6 sc into the ring. Pull the ring tightly to close.
2. Round 1: Work 2 sc into each stitch around (12 stitches).
3. Round 2: *1 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the following stitch* Repeat from * to * around (18 stitches).
4. Round 3: *1 sc in each of the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the following stitch* Repeat from * to * around (24 stitches).
5. Round 4: *1 sc in each of the next 3 stitches, 2 sc in the following stitch* Repeat from * to * around (30 stitches).
6. Round 5: *1 sc in each of the next 4 stitches, 2 sc in the following stitch* Repeat from * to * around (36 stitches).
7. Rounds 6-10: Work 1 sc in each stitch around (36 stitches). These rounds will form the sides of the frosting.
8. Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.
Assembly:
1. Place the frosting piece on top of the doughnut base.
2. Using a yarn needle and matching yarn, sew the frosting to the doughnut base. You can use a simple whipstitch or any other sewing method you prefer.
3. Repeat the process to create additional doughnut coasters in different colors and frosting patterns.
Holder:
To create a holder for your doughnut coasters, you can make a cylindrical shape using crochet stitches.
1. Start with a chain that is long enough to wrap around all the coasters you want to hold.
2. Join the ends of the chain to form a ring, being careful not to twist the chain.
3. Work in rounds, crochet single crochet stitches (sc) or any other stitch pattern of your choice until the piece is tall enough to hold the stacked doughnut coasters.
4. Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.
Once you have completed the coaster and holder set, you can stack the doughnut coasters inside the holder for storage or display. Enjoy your adorable crochet doughnut coasters and holder set!
