Here is a free pattern for an easy crochet coaster Lisa. It is very easy to make, so even if you are a beginner, you could definitely give it a try. It is also a great way to practice the block stitch if you haven’t tried it before. The coaster is reversible and looks great on both sides.

Notes
The size of my coaster is 8.5 x 8.5 cm. This pattern uses the block stitch. Photo instructions below show the main steps how to make this stitch. It is a repeat of two rows. The size of the coaster can be easily adjusted by chaining more or less in the beginning (keep in mind that it should be multiples of three plus one chain) and repeating rows 2 and 3 until you will form a nice rectangle (finish with a row of double crochets).
Pattern
Start by chaining 28 with the linen yarn (you can adjust the size by chaining more or less, but it should be multiples of three plus one chain).
Row 1: In the fourth chain from your hook make a dc (in the back of the chain). Then make dcs in every st until the end of the row.
Change color to white (see photo instructions below). You can cut the linen yarn.
Row 2: ch 1, sc in between the last two double crochets of the prev row. *ch 2, skip 3 dcs of the prev row, sc in between two dcs of the prev row*, rep * * until the end of the row (the last sc should be made between the dc of the prev row and the turning chain).
Change color to linen. You can cut the white yarn.
Row 3: ch 3; make 3 dcs in every chain two space of the prev row. In the end of the row make one dc in the last st.
Row 4-17: repeat row 2 and row 3. Remember to change yarn color when you finish each row.
Fasten off.
