Here is a free crochet pattern for a simple crochet coaster Suzette. It is a great project for beginners because you only need to know some basic crochet: how to make a chain, a single crochet and a double crochet. I think that the texture of this coaster is really nice. I made it using only one color, but you could experiment and make it in stripes, for example. This coaster is reversible and looks the same on both sides.
I hope that you will like this simple coaster. 🙂
The pattern includes a list of materials, abbreviations, notes, written pattern, and detailed step-by-step photo instructions.

Simple crochet coaster Suzette
Materials
- Yarn: I use Hjertegarn DIAMOND mercerized cotton 100% 8/4 50g, color: 603 (light blue). However, any thin cotton yarn will work.
- Hook: I use a 2.0 mm hook. If you are using a different yarn, choose the hook size that is recommended on your yarn label.
Abbreviations (US terms)
- ch: chain
- sl st: slip stitch
- sc: single crochet
- dc: double crochet
- prev: previous
- rep * *: repeat from * to *
- st: stitch
Notes
The size of my coaster is 8.5 x 8.0 cm. You will be working in rows. This pattern uses the Suzette stitch. The photo instructions below show how to make this stitch. It consists of single and double crochets. This stitch is reversible, so the coaster looks great from both sides.
Pattern
Start by chaining 24 (you can adjust the size by chaining more or less, just make sure that you have an even number of chains).
Row 1: in the 2nd ch from your hook make: (sc, dc), *skip 1 st, in the next st make: (sc, dc)*, rep ** until the end of the row. At the end of the row skip 1 st, sc in the last st.
Row 2-21: ch 1 (does not count as a st), in the 1st st make: (sc, dc), *skip 1 st, in the next st make: (sc, dc)*, rep ** until the end of the row. At the end of the row skip 1 st, sc in the last st.
Fasten off.

Thank you for this wonderfully simple yet attractive stitch. I’m going to make some table mats to go with the coasters.
This is a great idea! Table mats should look really nice using this stitch.
