Chic Pom-Pom Coaster - Free Coaster Crochet Pattern

Hello my crafty friends, I hope you are having a wonderful day and are excited for today's free crochet pattern! As some of you may know, I recently created a Fairly Country Table Runner pattern that has super cute pom-poms hanging at the edge of the table runner. I honestly had such an amazing time creating those pom-poms that I wanted to incorporate them into my next pattern. 

 

So, I ran to my yarn closet, looked to see what caught my attention, and a vibrantly blue cotton yarn was calling my name. As I sat down in my office chair, I realized that the cup I was drinking from was leaving a water mark on my desk, that is when the idea of a coaster came to mind.

 

The Chic Pom-Pom coaster starts off as a continuous circle, then the edge is created with a blend of slip stitches and the pom-pom to give it a beautiful detailed look. This coaster is perfect for both cold and piping hot beverages. I love these coasters so much that I will be creating them in groups of four for my upcoming crafts fairs. 

 

Now lets get into this fun pattern and cannot wait to see how yours turn out too!

Notes:

1. For this pattern, make sure to work in continuous rounds which will result in no visible seams. Do not slip stitch after each round. 
2. The specific yarn used for this Chic Pom-Pom Coaster was the Premier Just Cotton Yarn
3. The tags are from IdahoTaylorMade Chestnut Faux Leather Tag .85" x 2.75"
4. This pattern is for personal use only. Please do not sell this pattern as your own. Please feel free to sell the finished item and do give credit to Fresh Cut Yarn.

Chic Pompom Coaster

Here we are beginning from the center of the coaster

R1) Work 6sc into a magic circle [6]

 

In R2-R8 you will be working on increases

R2) 2sc in each st, *6 [12]

R3) 1sc then 2sc in next st, *6 [18]

R4) 1sc in next 2st then 2sc in next st, *6 [24]

R5) 1sc in next 3st then 2sc in next st, *6 [30]

R6) 1sc in next 4st then 2sc in next st, *6 [36]

R7) 1sc in next 5st then 2sc in next st, *6 [42]

R8) 1sc in next 6st then 2sc in next st, *6 [48] 

 

Next you will be working on the pom-pom row, which will involve using a sl st into each st except where there was an increase in the prior row. When you reach the increase, in between that increase is where you will insert the pom-pom.

R9) You are going to sl st into each st until you reach an increase. In between the increase you will * sl st, ch4, dc5tog in the 3rd chain from the hook, ch3, dc5tog in the 3rd chain from the hook, then you are going to fold it in half which will create the pom pom, slip stitch the togs together. Next you are going to sl in the same st where you began the pom-pom which will close your pom-pom*, then you are going to continue your sl st along the row until you reach the next increase and you will create another pom-pom in that space. You will be doing this along the entire row. Once you are done, you should have a total of 6 pompoms

Now you are going to f/o, leaving an approximate 2 inch tail which you will knot off and hide the tail inside the coaster.
