Crochet coasters

A bare table doesn't need much to look finished. These coasters and mug rugs are crocheted by hand in flower, mandala and animal designs, and most come as a ready-to-gift set.

How to choose crochet coasters

Coasters and mug rugs come as singles and sets, so check each product page for its exact pack sizes, from a single design up to a set of eight. The cat, pig and bear set comes as one design or as a trio, each piece about 15 cm across and 3.5 cm tall. Flower designs like the sunflower coasters and the mandala coaster set run 14 to 19 cm across, wide enough for a mug or a small plant pot.

For gifting, a set does more work than a single coaster: four or five pieces cover a small table setting, and the set unpacks as a ready-made housewarming or birthday gift. If you want something that looks less like tableware in the wrapping, the carnation mug rug folds into a bouquet shape for gifting, then unfolds flat under a mug once it's opened.

Every coaster is crocheted stitch by stitch, so expect a centimetre of size variation between pieces, even within the same set. Hand wash and reshape damp, the same care as the shop's bags, and keep them out of direct sun so the colours hold.
