Special Stitches

Spike stitch (Sp St): Insert hook into the stitch two rows below the current row and work a single crochet (refer to photos for row 3).

Single crochet two together (in this pattern): Insert hook behind one strand of yarn of the Sp St and around the other strand of the next Sp St, work a single crochet (refer to photos for row 4).

Honeycomb Coasters Pattern Notes

This crochet coaster measures 4 inches wide and 4 inches long. The size can be easily adjusted by chaining more or less for your foundation chain (any even number of chains) and working more or fewer rows.

Ch 1 at the beginning of a row is a turning chain and does not count as a stitch. Count after each row to ensure you haven’t skipped any stitches! You should have the same number of stitches in each row.

Ch 18 or any even number of chains until you reach four inches.

Row 1: SC in second Ch and across the row (17 in every row).

Row 2: Ch 1, turn. SC in first St and across. Ch 1, turn.

Row 3: SC in first St, Sp St in next (two rows below). Alternate SC and Sp St across the row. Sc in last stitch, Ch 1 and turn.

Row 4: SC in first St, SC in next, SC2tog (see photo below), SC in next St, repeat [SC2tog in next, SC in next] across the row, SC in last St. Ch1 and turn.

Note: When you look at the spike stitches, they resemble the letter V. You need to connect one leg of one V with another leg of the next V.

Row 5: Sp St in first, SC in next, repeat [Sp St in next, SC in next] across the row. Sp St in last St. Ch 1 and turn.

Row 6: SC in first, repeat [SC2tog in next, SC in next] across the row. SC in last St. Ch 1, turn.

Row 7-26 (or until you have a square coaster): repeat rows 3-6.

The Honeycomb stitch texture isn’t reversible, but the other side is just as pretty. It doesn’t have a raised texture, but it features Spike stitches and is a lovely pattern. Depending on your mood, you can use either side for different textures!
