One of the best gifts you can crochet quickly for someone is a small coaster set. So why not make them super duper cute! Best part is that a strawberry crochet coaster only takes 20 minutes to make, if that!
Strawberries are currently trending and are a part of a lot of aesthetic vibes - cottagecore, kawaii, etc. I personally love strawberries because they are one of my favorite fruits to eat in summer. So delicious and cute!
Crochet strawberries are actually easy to make, as long as you have a pointy end and a rounded top you're basically good to go, just add leaves and white lines!
If you are looking for crochet strawberry patterns I highly suggest taking a gander at my crochet strawberry pillow pattern, crochet strawberry keychain, and crochet strawberry bag.

✏️ Things To Note:
- The crochet strawberry coasters use cotton yarn since it is great at absorbing moisture and heat resistant. Do not use acrylic when making coasters, it is plastic and can melt under high heats. It is also not great at absorbing liquids.
- Stick to a size 4 worsted weight yarn or thinner. Chunkier yarns create more texture and are super puffy, which unfortunately can make cups unstable and tip more easily.
- The strawberry crochet coaster pattern makes the crochet strawberries end size be roughly 4.5inches tall and about 4 inches wide, perfect for most cup sizes, but if you need to make them bigger and another row of increases before doing the rows of the same stitch count.

🐌Expert Tips
Sew on the stem and leaves before adding the embroidery so you don’t cover up any of your embroidery work.
🧵FAQs
Wool is a good alternative since it is heat resistant, water absorbent and antimicrobial.
It isn’t necessary to do so, but if you feel like it would help your crochet strawberry coasters from slipping around on your desk give it a shot!
You can use them as appliques for totes, cardigans, blankets, pillows etc!
