How to crochet the Delilah Coasters, which are easy floral coasters. At only 12 yards of yarn per coaster, these are great for scraps of yarn, and a variety of projects too if you want to use them as appliques or join them together.
These coasters are the perfect piece to add to your living room, kitchen or dining room to house a delicious cup of coffee.
This floral motif has been one of absolute favorite little things! I have used to create so many fun free crochet patterns (video tutorials in the works for them). You can see some of these projects in the Intro of the video:
- Triangle Shawl: tinyurl.com/vt5a3km7
- Hoop Earrings: tinyurl.com/4uf2d6t8
- Table Runner (Video Tutorial): youtu.be/5Ux4X0iACXs
- Wall Hanging: tinyurl.com/3wsz5z4t
- Mug Rug (Video Tutorial): youtu.be/PYrDwZPxbHw
- Gift Card Holder: tinyurl.com/mrxaeh6s
You'll need 12 Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn per Flower. In the video, I'm using WeCrochet Dishie, and in my original set of coasters, I've used Lily Sugar n Cream. You'll also need a H8/5mm Crochet Hook, and a Tapestry Needle to weave in ends.
Material Notes:
I did use Lily Sugar n Cream for these coasters, but I really like using WeCrochet Dishie because it’s colorfast, which means the colors are set, plus cotton is more durable and absorbent, but you can use any worsted weight yarn out of your stash! I have a few coasters I’ve made myself using Red Heart Super Saver Yarn, which is a 100% acrylic yarn. A hot cup of coffee is not hot enough to melt synthetic fibers, and while it doesn’t quite absorb the same way with cold beverages, it still holds the water and does not seep through to the surface. Lion Brand Wool Ease is another lovely yarn for coasters that I have used for some in my personal collection, and the wool adds to the durability and absorbency.

Gauge is not essential for this project so you can easily substitute another weight yarn that might be in your stash, such as a Lightweight #3 Yarn like Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton DK, or a Chunky Weight #5 Yarn like Lion Brand Hue and Me – you may need to test to make sure your mug or glass will sit well on the fabric if using a Chunky Weight Yarn.
If you want to treat yourself to an ergonomic crochet hook, I highly recommend SiennasBowtique on Etsy. Here is the Koi Fish one I'm using in the video (affiliate link): tidd.ly/3AKVOMr
