Spider coasters - Nordic Hook - Free crochet pattern

Here are two free crochet patterns for spider coasters. These two coasters were inspired by autumn colors and spider nets. I made two versions that, in a way, are similar, but the middle of each coaster differs slightly. Choose the one you like more, or just make both! I named them small and large coasters, but they are not much different in size; both fit a standard cup perfectly. This is also a great Halloween crochet project. 🙂

The pattern includes a list of materials, abbreviations, notes, a written pattern, and two charts. You can find my other free crochet patterns for Halloween here and more free crochet projects here.
