The Succulent Coaster Set by SweaterBabe is a charming crochet pattern that combines functionality with whimsical design, perfect for adding a touch of greenery to your home without the maintenance of real plants.

Pattern Name: Succulent Coaster Set
Designer: SweaterBabe
Craft: Crochet
Project Type: Home – Coaster
Yarn Weight: DK
Suggested Yarn: GGH Goa, Debbie Bliss Cotton DK, Lily (Spinrite) Sugar’n Cream Solids, Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece, Tahki Yarns Cotton Classic, Valley Yarns Southwick, Knit Picks Comfy Bulky, Cascade Yarns ® Ultra Pima, Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK, K+C | Knit and Crochet Essential (Cotton)

Design and Construction

This set features coasters with delicate, leafy edges, crocheted in the round using double crochet cluster stitches and chain spaces to create a lacy, floral-inspired design. The coasters can be folded and placed into accompanying crocheted pots, mimicking the appearance of a succulent plant. The pattern includes instructions for both mini and larger pots, accommodating two to five coasters respectively. The pots are worked from the bottom up in a slightly thicker yarn to provide structure, with optional embellishments like safety eyes and embroidery to add personality.

Sizing

Each coaster measures approximately 5 inches (12.5 cm) in diameter. The mini pot stands about 1¾ inches (4.5 cm) high with a 2-inch (5 cm) opening, suitable for holding two to three coasters. The larger pot has a 3¾-inch (9.5 cm) opening, fitting up to five coasters.

Materials and Yarn

Coasters: Require less than 20 yards of DK or light worsted-weight yarn per coaster. The pattern suggests using 100% cotton yarn, such as Knit and Crochet (K+C) Essential, to provide durability and absorbency.

Pots: Use approximately 21 yards for the mini pot and 34 yards for the larger pot of bulky-weight cotton yarn to ensure sturdiness. While the original sample used GGH Goa, which is discontinued, suitable substitutes include Jo Sharp Desert Garden Aran Cotton or Knit Picks Comfy Bulky.

Hooks: A 4.0 mm (G) hook for the coasters and a 5.0 mm (H) hook for the pots are recommended to achieve the correct gauge.

Skill Level and Techniques

This pattern is suitable for intermediate crocheters, involving techniques such as:

  • Crocheting in the round
  • Double crochet cluster stitches
  • Chain spaces
  • Basic increasing
  • Optional embroidery for facial features

The pattern provides both written instructions and a video tutorial, offering clear guidance throughout the project.
