Notes
- Use cotton yarn for the crochet watermelon coaster pattern; acrylic can be used for a cute watermelon applique for non-absorbent items.
- This pattern is ideal for beginners, as it’s worked in the round and consists of only 5 rounds.
- The finished crochet watermelon coaster is about 4.5 inches wide; adjust the hook size for different dimensions.
Instructions
- The watermelon crochet coaster pattern is made in rounds.
- Round 1: Using pink, 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 NOT THE CHAINS (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 (36). Then sl st to the first dc in the round and fasten off the pink yarn and switch it to white.
- Round 4: After joining the white, sc inc, sc x2 and repeat for the rest of the round (48). Sl st to the beginning sc. Then fasten off the white yarn and switch it to the green.
- Round 5: After joining the green yarn, sc in every stitch from the last round (48). Then fasten off the green yarn and weave in any ends.
Embroidery:
- Using the black yarn and tapestry needle, create little watermelon seeds in the pink part of the watermelon. I made 8 seeds around round 2 but you can do it anyway you want.
- And now you have your very own crochet watermelon coaster! Perfect to use for those nice cold summer drinks like tea and lemonade.
