Materials and Preparation

To create these spooky spiral coasters, you will need the following:

Yarn: Two contrasting colors (e.g., black and white), plus a bold accent color (green for scalloped edging)

Yarn Weight: Medium-weight yarn (4) recommended

Hook Size: 4 mm crochet hook

Additional Tools:

Stitch markers

Yarn needle

Scissors

Before starting, decide which yarn color you’d like to begin with. The coasters are worked in continuous rounds, so you won’t need to turn or join at the end of each round.

Abbreviations and Notes

Here are the key crochet abbreviations you’ll need for this pattern:

SC: Single Crochet

HDC: Half Double Crochet

DC: Double Crochet

Sl St: Slip Stitch

Ch: Chain

Important Notes:

Practice working in continuous rounds as this method is essential for ensuring the spiral pattern stays seamless.

Be mindful when switching colors; you’ll alternate loops between the two yarn colors without joining each round.

Gauge, Approximate Size, and Pattern Notes

Gauge: Not critical for this project but ensure consistent tension.

Finished Dimensions: Approximately 5-6 inches in diameter (depending on yarn and hook size).

Special Techniques:

Magic Ring: Used to begin the spiral.

Double Crochet Increases: Crucial for ensuring proper spiral shape.

Gauge swatch is not required since coasters don’t need precise sizing.

Step-by-Step Pattern

Round 1:

Begin with Color A (e.g., white) and create a magic ring.

Inside the magic ring:

Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch).

SC, HDC, and 4 DC.

Pull the working loop up and remove the hook.

Join Color B (e.g., black). Repeat the same in the magic ring:

Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch).

SC, HDC, and 4 DC.

Tighten the magic ring slightly, keeping the stitches visible. Tug carefully on both yarn tails to close the ring evenly.

You should now have 6 stitches in each color (total: 12 stitches).

You’ll complete 12 white stitches. Place a stitch marker at the last worked stitch.

Switch to the working loop of Color B. Similarly, work DC increases into the corresponding stitches of the previous round.

You’ll complete 12 black stitches.

At the end of Round 2, you’ll have 24 total stitches.
