Our easy crochet coaster pattern uses basic stitches, is completely beginner-friendly (though experienced crocheters will still have a blast following along) and provides a perfect opportunity to use up leftover scrap yarn from previous crochet projects.

Chain 1, single crochet, double crochet, single crochet all in next stitch. Then, slip stitch into next stitch.

This is the pattern you will follow to make edges of pie crust all the way around. Cut a tail to weave in.

Next, you'll add a lattice effect to each crochet pie.

Connect yarn to one edge and make chains that will reach across to opposite edge of round coaster. Slip stitch to connect chain string to other side. Repeat chain stitches across in one direction.

9. Attach chains
