Circular boho coasters

Circular Boho Coasters by Biosha Thompson

What You Will Make

These circular boho coasters are a beginner-friendly crochet project designed by Biosha Thompson. The coasters combine classic crochet techniques with boho chic aesthetics, creating functional table accessories that blend style with practicality. Each coaster is crafted entirely from 100% cotton yarn, making them durable, absorbent, and perfect for protecting surfaces while adding a handmade, artisanal touch to any table setting.

Crochet Techniques Used

This project employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for beginners, making it an ideal introduction to circular crochet construction. The design uses the classic method of creating a magic ring or chain ring as the foundation, then building outward in rounds to achieve the circular shape. The straightforward construction approach ensures that crafters of all skill levels can complete these coasters successfully.

Stitches and Construction Methods

• Single Crochet (sc): The primary stitch used throughout the coaster, worked into the center of the initial ring to establish the base
• Slip Stitch (sl st): Used to join rounds and create seamless transitions between rows, connecting the last stitch to the first stitch of each round
• Half Double Crochet (hdc): Incorporated into the stitch pattern for texture and structure
• Double Crochet (dc): Used to add height and variation to the design
• Chain Stitch: Creates the initial foundation ring (chain 4) from which the entire coaster develops

Materials Required

Yarn: This project uses 100% cotton yarn in three coordinating colors for a cohesive boho aesthetic. The main color (MC) is Blue Label Yarns and Crafts Raw Cotton DK, requiring 1 ball in Color 152. Two accent colors (AC1 and AC2) use Vinnis Colours Nikkim 100% Cotton yarn: 1 ball each of Color 810 Silver (AC1) and Color 830 Sage (AC2). The DK weight yarn provides excellent stitch definition and drape.

Tools: A 4.5 mm crochet hook (US size 7) is used throughout the project. A yarn needle is essential for weaving in ends and finishing the coasters neatly.

Gauge and Sizing

The recommended gauge is 13 stitches and 15 rows measured over a 10 cm x 10 cm swatch using single crochet. Maintaining this gauge ensures your finished coasters are the intended size and will function properly as table accessories. The final coaster reaches 58 stitches in circumference, creating a substantial, practical size suitable for standard drinking glasses and mugs.

Difficulty Level

Rated as a beginner project, these circular boho coasters require only basic crochet knowledge. The simple stitch combination and straightforward circular construction make this an excellent choice for those new to crochet or looking for a quick, satisfying project. The pattern's accessibility does not compromise on the finished aesthetic—the result is a stylish, professional-looking coaster that combines classic crochet with contemporary boho design.
