Hand-Stitched Crochet Pie Coasters: Perfect for a Comforting DIY Project
Bring a touch of homestyle charm to your coffee table with these adorable and functional pie-shaped crochet coasters! These soft, adorable "pies" not only serve as home decor but also protect against stained rings on your coffee table.
Following a step-by-step tutorial like the "Cream Pie Crochet Tutorial," you can create these pie slices that can be used as coasters or potholders. The tutorial guides you through the process of creating individual pie slices.
To start, you'll need a magic ring or chain foundation. Then, you'll crochet in rounds, gradually increasing to create the base circle of the pie slice. Shaping the slice involves working decreases along certain rows to create the wedge/pie slice form. Adding details such as crust edges or decorative toppings can be achieved using different stitches or colours. Finally, finish off and weave in ends.
For detailed, specific instructions, a full step-by-step video is available on YouTube, and a PDF pattern is also available for exact stitch counts and colour changes.
To make these coasters, you'll need a 4.0 mm crochet hook, a tapestry needle, scissors, and worsted weight acrylic or cotton yarn in red, blue, and beige. The pattern is beginner-friendly and offers an opportunity to use up leftover scrap yarn.
The completed pie coasters can top hot mugs, adding a cozy fall vibe to your home. Each coaster features a lattice effect, created by connecting yarn to one edge and making chains that reach across to the opposite edge of the round coaster.
Other crochet projects suitable for the cozy crafting enthusiast include square coasters made with leftover yarn, a DIY pillow made with granny squares, and a pompom place mat.
Here's a quick rundown of the stitch counts for each row:
- Row 1: 5 single crochet stitches inside the magic circle
- Row 2: 10 single crochet stitches
- Row 3: 15 single crochet stitches
- Rows 4-7: 20 stitches each, all single crocheted all the way around
- Row 8: Changes colours and single crochets around to create the pie crust
- Row 9: Includes chain 1, single crochet, double crochet, single crochet all in the next stitch, followed by slip stitching into the next stitch
These pie-shaped crochet coasters make versatile gifts for housewarming parties, homemade Christmas presents, or just because. Give them a try and add a touch of charm to your coffee table!
