🍵Instructions for Crochet Santa Coaster Pattern
The pattern for the crochet Santa coaster pattern will be in rows.
Row 1: Ch x15 with either the red or green.
Row 2: In the second ch from the hook, make a sc. Continue making sc for the rest of the row (14). Then ch x1 and turn.
Row 3-7: Sc in every stitch (14). At the end of the last row, switch the color to black then ch x1.
Row 8-10: Sc in every stitch (14). At the end of the last row, switch the color to green or red then ch x1.
Row 11-16: Sc in every stitch (14).
At the end of the last row, make another sc in the last stitch and then sc around the outside of the square for a neater edge. The rule of thumb is 1 sc per row you made as well as 1 sc per stitch on the top and bottom of the square.
Fasten off the yarn and weave in the ends when you are done.
Embroidery:
With the yellow yarn and tapestry needle, embroider a belt buckle on the black strip. I made my belt buckle thicker by passing through each section twice.
I hope this crochet Santa coaster pattern brings some extra holiday cheer to your home! Whether you're making Santa or switching it up with an elf, these crochet Xmas coasters will add a touch of handmade magic to your table.

🐌Expert Tips
- Use Different Yarn Textures for Extra Festivity: If you want your crochet Xmas coasters to really pop, try experimenting with different yarn textures! You could use a soft velvet or chenille yarn for a cozy, luxurious feel or a sparkly metallic yarn to make the buckle or belt stand out. It adds a fun, personalized touch
- Block Your Coasters for a Neat Finish: For that perfect, crisp look, don’t forget to block your coasters after you’ve finished crocheting. Blocking will help your crochet square coaster pattern lay flat and look even more polished, especially when you’re working with stiff stitches like single crochet.
- Take Your Time and Have Fun: The holidays are all about fun, relaxation, and creativity, so don’t rush through your crochet projects! Enjoy the process of creating something special for the season. Whether you're making just one or crafting a whole bunch, remember that it’s all about spreading that holiday joy!
🧵Pattern FAQs
The time it takes to crochet a Santa coaster will depend on your experience level, but for most crocheters, each coaster should take around 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete. If you're making a set, you might want to allocate a couple of hours to complete several coasters. Don't forget, you can also crochet while watching your favorite holiday movie!
For this pattern, I recommend using a medium-weight yarn like worsted weight (size 4), which is perfect for coasters and works up quickly. Cotton yarn is especially great if you plan to use these coasters as functional items for drinks
Yes! If you want a larger crochet square coaster pattern, you can easily adjust the size by adding more rounds. Just be sure to increase the number of stitches evenly as you work to maintain a nice square shape. This pattern would make adorable placemats or even a full holiday-themed table set!
