With Valentine’s Day around the corner, these crochet coasters make the perfect handmade gift! They’re not just practical but also a lovely table decoration. Imagine your loved ones sipping their favorite drink while admiring the coaster you made for them. Even when they are not in use, they add a cute touch to any coffee table or desk. Simple, thoughtful, and oh-so-pretty!

Crochet Supplies

Here are the crochet supplies I used to make this heart coaster:

1. Jute Twine in khaki and red colors, 2-ply (about 1.6 to 2 mm thick)
2. 2.5 mm crochet hook
3. Tapestry needle for weaving in loose yarn ends.

If you want to use yarn you already have on hand, here’s a guide to picking the right alternative!

• Cotton, bamboo, linen, or other natural fibers are great choices because they’re absorbent and heat-resistant.
• Sport-weight yarn is ideal for keeping the correct size.

If you decide to use a different yarn, simply match the yarn weight and hook size to achieve the specified crochet gauge. This way, your coaster will end up just the right size!

Crochet Gauge

The gauge of this heart coaster crochet pattern (after blocking) is about 20 sts x 20 rows, and a single crochet stitch is used to obtain a 4″ x 4″ size.

To produce a coaster of similar size, following the correct crochet gauge is essential. Read the details on how to make a gauge swatch and how to measure it.

Finished Size

3¾” x 3¾” after the coaster is blocked and shaped.

Skill Needed

Crochet Stitches

This coaster pattern is great for avid beginners and beyond! If you’re comfortable with chain (ch) and single crochet (sc) stitches, you’re ready to go!

Colorwork

Colorwork involves changing colors in crochet to create image designs with different yarn colors. You can use either the Tapestry or Intarsia crochet method for this two-color heart coaster.

In this tutorial, I used Intarsia Crochet to create reversible heart coasters that look identical on both sides. This technique does not carry any yarn behind the piece; instead, it employs individual yarn balls for each color area. This results in a clean, professional finish, making the design equally beautiful on both sides. I applied this method to a larger project as well, a crochet Monstera Wall Hanging.

If you prefer the Tapestry method, feel free to adopt this pattern. However, your coaster will be larger than the previously mentioned size due to the carrying yarn in the stitches.

How To Crochet A Coaster With Heart Design

Instructions

Here is the tutorial on how to crochet the heart coaster using the intarsia method.

1. Start with the base. With your khaki yarn, chain 20. This creates the foundation chain to build the rows of single crochets for your heart coaster.
2. Work 4 rows of single crochet.

3. Add the heart! This is where the magic happens.
   In row 5, you’ll start incorporating the red yarn to form a cute heart shape. Follow the pattern chart or the written instructions below to guide your color changes.

4. Keep those colorworks going.
   When switching the color back to khaki again, use a new khaki yarn from the end of the ball. Now, you have 3 working yarns in a row – 2 khaki and 1 red.

5. Finish.
   Once your heart is fully formed, continue with 4 more rows of solid khaki.
   Use a tapestry needle to hide all loose yarn ends.

6. Block it.
   Shape your coaster using a bit of blocking magic to help it lay flat, square, and look extra polished. There are three ways to block your crochet pieces; I used the wet blocking method and patiently waited for it to dry.

Swap the two colors to create a matching pair of Valentine Heart Coasters in reverse colors—because opposites truly attract! Double the charm, double the fun!
