X-mas Doily and Coasters in Hoooked Zpagetti – Crochet Pattern Summary

This downloadable PDF pattern from Hoooked guides you through crocheting a festive Christmas doily and matching coasters using Baby Zpagetti, the brand's signature super chunky recycled textile yarn. The set makes a beautiful handmade addition to any holiday table, combining bold texture with classic circular crochet construction. The pattern is rated intermediate in difficulty, making it an ideal project for crocheters who are comfortable with basic stitches and ready to explore more structured, multi-round circular designs.

Materials and Tools

The kit is designed to be used with the following materials:

• Yarn: 2 balls of Baby Zpagetti by Hoooked – a super chunky, ribbon-style recycled textile yarn known for its soft drape and substantial weight
• Hook: 1 crochet hook (as specified in the kit, suitable for super chunky weight yarn)

Because Baby Zpagetti is a super chunky yarn, projects work up quickly and the resulting fabric has a thick, cushioned feel that is well-suited to placemats and coasters designed to protect surfaces. The textile ribbon construction of Zpagetti yarn gives finished pieces a smooth, slightly structured appearance distinct from traditional spun wool or cotton yarns.

Design 1: The Christmas Doily (Placemat)

The X-mas Doily is worked in the round from the centre outward across seven rounds, building up from a simple foundation ring into a decorative, pointed-edge circular placemat. The construction follows classic doily principles adapted for super chunky yarn, resulting in a bold, graphic piece with a lacy, star-like silhouette.

Techniques and Construction

• The piece begins with a slip knot and a chain of 5, closed into a foundation ring with a slip stitch
• Each round is built outward using turning chains that count as the first stitch of each round
• Chain spaces are used in the middle rounds to create an open, lace-like mesh structure
• The final rounds introduce chain loops of 5 anchored at regular intervals, then finished with decorative pointed picots formed by crocheting into each loop

Stitches Used

• Slip stitch (ss) – used to close rounds and join sections
• Chain stitch – used for foundation ring, turning chains, and decorative chain spaces throughout
• Treble crochet (tr) – the primary stitch used to build the body of the doily across rounds 1 through 5
• Half treble crochet (htr) – used in the final decorative round to shape the pointed edging
• Double crochet (dc) – referenced in the edging construction for shaping the pointed tips

Round-by-Round Overview

• Foundation: Chain 5, close into a ring with a slip stitch
• Round 1: Chain 3 (counts as first treble), work 10 trebles into the ring, close with slip stitch – 11 stitches total
• Round 2: Chain 3, then repeat chain 2, 1 treble, chain 2 around, closing with a slip stitch – creates an open, spoked structure
• Round 3: Chain 3, then repeat chain 3, 1 treble, chain 3, 1 treble around – widens the lace mesh further
• Round 4: Groups of 3 trebles separated by chain-2 spaces, worked around the chain loops of the previous round – begins to fill in the structure
• Round 5: Trebles worked into every stitch of the previous round without increasing – consolidates the fabric
• Round 6: Chain loops of 5 anchored into every
