The Changing Seasons Coaster is a quick, beginner-friendly project that’s as fun to make as it is to use. Designed with simplicity in mind, it works up fast—perfect for a last-minute gift, a relaxing evening project, or a satisfying stash-buster. What makes this coaster special is its decorative flair: a playful design at the center finished with an extravagant, eye-catching border that instantly elevates the look. Cute, practical, and endlessly customizable with color choices, this little piece is the perfect way to add handmade charm to your table through every season.

This pattern is worked with DK/Worsted weight yarn and a 4.5 mm hook. For coasters, I recommend using a synthetic or plant-based fiber—these tend to be more durable and easier to wash, making them perfect for everyday use. The design is worked in the round with simple double crochet and chain stitches, creating an easy, enjoyable rhythm as you go. It’s finished with a decorative lace border that combines shell and picot variations for an extra touch of charm.

The pattern is written in one standard size, which fits most mugs comfortably. If you’d like a larger or smaller coaster, you can easily adjust by changing your hook size, experimenting with different yarn weights, or adding a round or two.

This is a beginner-friendly project that relies on simple stitches and approachable techniques. To support you along the way, you’ll also find a step-by-step photo tutorial at the end of the pattern, plus links to video demonstrations for all special stitches.
