Crochet Cactus Coasters

September 4, 2018 by Ashleigh

Crochet Cactus Coasters with the cutest little clay pot holder you ever did see!

I loved making this little set of crochet cacti coasters for drippy drinks in the summer – they’re so stylish and trendy right now! The crochet pattern is easy to follow and they’re even cuter stored in the little pot holder.

SWEATER PATTERNS I LOVE (& you should too)

1. Crochet Twist Swancho / 2. Crochet Everyday Cardigan / 3. Simple Knit Sweater

The Yarn

I used my favorite cotton yarn for this pattern, Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton for the coaster base and some mini skeins of yarn from their DIYarn collection for the accents. You could make this pattern with acrylic yarn too (like Vanna’s Choice) but the cotton yarn will be much more absorbent for drinks that sweat – so keep that in mind when you’re choosing yarns!

If you haven’t tried the 24/7 Cotton yarn before, this is a great place to start! It’s a mercerized cotton so it’s got great shine and a really smooth feel when working with it. It holds up really well to wear and comes in 24 of the most stunning colors! I’ve used it for lots of other projects like my Parisian Tunisian Top and my entire collection of 25 Christmas Ornaments!

Pattern Notes

-Cactus coasters are worked in the round in one piece. Spikes are embroidered and pink flower is made separately & sewn on.

-Embroidery will show on the back of your coaster but you can hide it by crocheting another coaster piece and sewing together for a double-thick coaster or just storing them in your pot with wrong sides together so that your good side is showing from all angles.

-Ch 2 does not count as a stitch.
