Basic Pattern Structure for the Crochet Overlay Coaster

The overlay crochet coaster starts with a basic round pattern, then adds layers in contrasting colors to achieve a raised, dimensional look. You can create this coaster in rounds, each adding a new layer and color.

Abbreviations

• ch – Chain
• sc – Single Crochet
• dc – Double Crochet
• tr – Treble Crochet
• sl st – Slip Stitch
• st(s) – Stitch(es)
• bpdc – Back Post Double Crochet

Step 1: Start with a Foundation Round

The foundation round creates the base for your coaster. For a standard coaster, aim for a diameter of 4-5 inches.

1. Magic Ring: Start with a magic ring and work 12 dc into the ring. Join with a sl st to the first dc to complete the round.
2. Round 2: Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in the same st, 2 dc in each st around. Join with a sl st to the first dc. (24 sts)
3. Round 3: Ch 3, dc in the next st, 2 dc in the next st; repeat around. Join with a sl st. (36 sts)
4. Round 4 (Add Color): Switch to a contrasting color. Work bpdc in each st around to create a raised effect. Join with a sl st.

Step 2: Begin Overlay Rounds

Overlay rounds are worked into stitches from previous rounds to add dimension and color.

1. Round 5 (Overlay Layer): Attach a new color. Ch 3, skip 1 st, dc into the stitch below the current round. Continue working dc into the stitches below to form a starburst effect.
2. Round 6: With a contrasting color, work sc in each st around. This will highlight the overlay stitches from the previous round.
3. Round 7 (Overlay Effect): Switch colors and tr into the back post of every second dc from two rounds below. This creates a raised design overlaying the background color.

Step 3: Add a Finishing Edge

A finishing edge gives the coaster a clean, polished look. Try a scalloped or picot edge for a decorative touch.

1. Scalloped Edge: Work 5 dc in the same st, skip 1 st, sl st in the next st around the edge for a scalloped effect.
2. Picot Edge: Work sc around, with ch 3, sl st into the first ch at every fourth stitch to form a small picot.
3. Finish: Fasten off and weave in all ends neatly on the back side.
