Ribbit! Ribbit! This Crochet Frog Coaster Pattern is sure to bring a smile to your face! Quick and easy to make, you can complete a coaster in less than 20 minutes for that sweet instant gratification.
This frog crochet pattern is perfect for those that are new to crochet and are familiar with the foundational stitches. The frog crochet coaster is also perfect for last minute gifts for Christmas, housewarming gifts, baby showers etc. Or for just having breakfast with friends, you'll have them wondering where you bought such cute coasters - and nothing feels better than telling them you made them.
The crochet frog coaster pattern is also perfect for selling at markets or online if you wanted to sell the finished product (not the pattern of course).
The frog crochet coaster pattern uses cotton yarn. It is very important that you use cotton yarn for coasters. Cotton yarn is a great fiber of choice because of how breathable it is, and absorbent. I love working with cotton yarn and even have a few crochet patterns that use it like my Croc
het Duck Hat Pattern, Crochet Strawberry Coaster Pattern, Crochet Spa Set, Sunflower Coaster Crochet Pattern, and Crochet Pumpkin Pie Potholder Pattern. Cotton yarn is great for summer hats, wash rags, and coasters because of the aforementioned qualities in its fiber. Acrylic isn’t absorbent and would be a poor yarn choice for this product.
If you are looking for other crochet frog patterns regardless of yarn type, I suggest my Frog Crochet Bag Pattern and Crochet Frog Hat Pattern.

🍵Instructions for Crochet Frog Coaster Pattern
This pattern is made in rounds. Here is how to crochet a frog for beginners:
Round 1: Using the green yarn, make a magic ring and immediately chain 2. Then dc x12 into the magic ring. To secure the round, sl st to the 1st dc in the round (12).
Round 2: Ch x2, then dc inc in every stitch from the previous round. Then sl st to the first dc in the round (24).
Round 3: Ch x2, then dc inc, dc and repeat for the rest of the round. Then sl st to the first dc in the round (36).
Round 4: This is the last round for the crochet frog coaster and will help create its overall shape.
Sc, then we are making the first eye socket. Skip a stitch and then in 1 stitch: dc, tr x4, and dc. Then skip the next stitch and immediately make a sl st in the following stitch. Sl st along the next 6 stitches.
Then we are going to make another eye socket. Skip a stitch and then in 1 stitch: dc, tr x4, and dc. Then skip the next stitch and immediately make a sc in the following stitch. After anchoring the eye socket follow the rest of the round:
Sc inc, hdc, dc, dc inc, dc, hdc, hdc inc, sc x7, hdc inc, hdc, dc, dc inc, dc, hdc, sc inc, sl st to 1st sc in the round and fasten off. Then weave in any loose ends.
Embroidery:
Using the black yarn and tapestry needle, make little eyes in the eye sockets. I made sideways V’s but you can do any eye shape. Make a small line for the mouth at the top of the frog in between the eye sockets.
And now you have a finished crochet frog coaster pattern. Perfect for any occasion.
🐌Expert Tips
If you want the back of the coaster to be less messy from the embroidery, slide the yarn underneath the stitches on the back of the coaster until you get to the next embroidery spot so it is less noticeable on the back. Just make sure the yarn doesn't show on the front.
🧵Pattern FAQs
The best yarn for crocheting coasters is generally cotton because it is durable, absorbent, holds up well to heat, and is easy to wash.
Crochet coasters tend to curl if there is a variation in tension. Aim to maintain uniform stitch sizes for the best results.
Crochet coasters are equally effective as those made from cork, felt, stone, or other materials found in stores. The distinct advantage of crochet coasters is that they are handmade, offering a wider variety in design.
