This pattern is beginner-friendly and works up quickly—you'll want to make a whole set!

Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in two colors:
  • Main Color (MC): Warm brown (e.g., Lion Brand Wool-Ease in "Taupe")
  • Contrast Color (CC): Cream or white (e.g., "Cream")
• Hook: H/8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook
• Other: Stitch marker, yarn needle for weaving in ends

Gauge: Rounds 1–3 of pattern measure 2 inches in diameter; exact gauge is not critical for this project. Finished coaster measures approximately 4.25 inches in diameter.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Notes: Worked in continuous spiral rounds; do not join unless specified. Use a stitch marker to keep track of rounds.

Round 1

With MC, make a magic ring. Ch 1, work 6 single crochet (sc) into the ring. Pull the ring tight to close. (6 stitches)

Round 2

Work 2 sc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)

Round 3

*Sc in next stitch, 2 sc in next stitch* — repeat from * to * around. (18 stitches)

Round 4

*Sc in next 2 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch* — repeat around. (24 stitches)

Round 5

*Sc in next 3 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch* — repeat around. (30 stitches)

Round 6

*Sc in next 4 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch* — repeat around. (36 stitches)

Round 7

*Sc in next 5 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch* — repeat around. (42 stitches)

Round 8

*Sc in next 6 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch* — repeat around. (48 stitches)

Round 9

Working in back loops only (the loop farthest from you), sc in each stitch around. (48 stitches) This creates the textured, bumpy surface that mimics pinecone scales.

Round 10 (Frosted Edge)

Switch to CC. Working in the front loops only (the unworked loops from Round 9), *ch 3, skip 1 stitch, slip stitch (sl st) in next stitch* — repeat from * to * around. This creates the delicate, scalloped "frosted" trim. Fasten off and weave in all ends securely.

Finishing

Block lightly if desired to flatten the coaster. Repeat the entire pattern for each coaster you wish to make. A set of four makes a lovely gift or seasonal table accent.

Pro Tip: To keep your coasters perfectly flat, avoid pulling the magic ring too tightly and maintain consistent tension throughout. The dense fabric created by the single crochet stitches makes these coasters sturdy and absorbent—perfect for protecting your table from condensation.

Enjoy your handmade Frosted Pinecone Coasters! They're a wonderful way to add a cozy, natural touch to your home during the winter months.
