Succulent Coaster Set

In this video tutorial, Alisa from Northwoods Knots walks viewers through the process of crocheting a charming succulent-themed coaster set, complete with four coasters and a basket for storage. This detailed and beginner-friendly guide shares the pattern, materials, and step-by-step instructions for creating a functional and decorative handmade piece.

Materials Needed

To create the succulent coaster set, you will need:

• Yarn: Two colors for the coasters (one for the center and another for the leaves) and another color for the basket.
  • Coaster colors: DK weight yarn.
  • Basket color: Light worsted-weight yarn.
• Hooks: 3.5 mm hook for the coasters and 4.5 mm hook for the basket.
• Additional tools: A darning needle and scissors.

Making the Coasters

Starting the Coaster

1. Begin with a magic ring using your coaster’s center color.
2. Work double crochets into the magic ring to create a circular base.
3. Close the round with a slip stitch and begin increasing in double crochet for subsequent rounds.

Adding the Leaf Color

1. Switch to the second yarn color (for the leaves) after completing the center.
2. Continue increasing as per the pattern, expanding the round with double crochet stitches.
3. Cut the tail of the center-color yarn and tie a secure knot for durability.

Final Round – Leaf Design

1. For the last round, create a textured, floral-like edge using a stitch repeat.
   • This involves single, half-double, double, and treble crochets to form a sculpted, leaf-like pattern around the edge.

1. Finish the coaster by securing the ends, weaving in the tails, and blocking or steaming it to shape.

Creating the Basket

Basket Base

1. Start with another magic ring in your basket color and create a circular base using double crochets.
2. Increase the rounds as instructed to complete the base.

Building the Basket Walls

1. Use single crochets in the back loops only to create height for the basket walls.
2. Alternate with rounds of double crochets to build structure.
3. Finish the basket with a final round of single crochet increases worked in the front loops only for a decorative edge.

Assembling and Styling

1. Once the coasters and basket are complete, fold the coasters one at a time and stack them into the basket.
   • The first coaster is rolled tightly for vertical height, and subsequent coasters are wrapped around it like petals.
2. Adjust the arrangement until the coasters resemble a succulent plant growing out of the basket.
