The complete set of 4 Chunky Christmas Ornament Coasters can be made in a few hours or less. They work up very quickly and look so cute. If you need to crochet a last minute gift, this pattern would be a good one to choose.

The air is filled with the delightful scent of pine, twinkling lights adorn the streets, and the warmth of holiday cheer is spreading its magic. Christmas is just around the corner. As we gear up for the most wonderful time of the year, what better way to usher in the festive spirit than by infusing a touch of creativity into our homes?

Great Handmade Gift Idea

Handmade Holidays are a crafter’s dream. These Christmas coasters are so cute to use during the Holiday season.

They are a joy to crochet too. Simple, beginner crochet patterns like this make it possible for someone new to crocheting to make beautiful DIY gifts.

The possibilities of crochet gifts for the whole family are just endless. Personally, I would prefer something handmade just for me. I hope you enjoy making and giving this Chunky Christmas Ornament Coaster set.

Chunky Crochet Placemat as a Set

This Chunky Christmas Ornament Coaster was made with left over yarn from another fun and easy crochet project. Check out these easy chunky crochet placemats. Each skein if chunky yarn made one placemat and 2 coasters.

Use These Holiday Coasters Over and Over

Crochet home décor can be so beautiful. Once you have made these coasters, if you kept a set for yourself, you can use them year after year. This is a gift that lasts for many years to come.

The best part is you can make these with just about any scrap yarn. While I chose a red and white yarn, you can create different looks just by changing up the yarn color. Use pastels or bright colors to match your Christmas decor.

Yarn for This Quick Crochet Project

I used a bulky yarn for this free pattern. However, if you prefer, you can certainly make this out of a medium-weight yarn. You will just need to add a few more rows to get the same size. When adding rows you will need to make sure to only increase by six each round. We have a nice tutorial on how to crochet flat circles that will help with that.

Another option, you can crochet with two strands of yarn for a chunky look.

Pattern Notes

Written in US Crochet Terms.

Both the coaster is worked in the round.

The sizes can be easily adjusted by working more rounds.

Crochet Stitches

Chain Stitch (CH)

Begin the chain stitch by making a slip knot on the crochet hook. Leave about a 5-inch tail on the yarn. This will be weaved in later.

Next snug up the yarn loop that is on the crochet hook; while it should be firm, it should also be loose enough to slide on the hook with ease.

Keeping the loop on the hook, wrap the yarn over the crochet hook from back to front. Draw the yarn through the loop. You’ve just made a chain stitch. Continue yarning over and drawing the yarn through the loop on the hook to make more chain stitches.
