Things To Note:
- To make the base of crochet pumpkin coasters we used double strands of #2 fine cotton yarn (with about 18 wraps per inch) for the pumpkin coaster base. You could also use #4 worsted weight yarn with about 11 wraps per inch, something like red heart super saver yarn.
- We used #3 light (12 wraps per inch) yarn to make the mini pumpkin coasters.
- In this pattern, we used two different-sized hooks. The sizes are as follows:
- We used a 3.75mm hook to make the large pumpkin coaster base and its stem, We also used the 4mm hook to wrap the yarn around the hook to form the mini pumpkins.
- A 3mm hook was used to create a tighter stitch for the stems and tendrils and to draw the tops of the mini pumpkin together.
- When making the mini pumpkins, try to draw all the loops up to an even height, and avoid having the stitches too tight on the hook because it will make it difficult to draw the hook through all the loops to finish the stitch.

Tips
Use Sturdy Yarn: A durable cotton or cotton blend yarn works best for coasters to keep them from stretching out.
Block Your Coaster: Lightly blocking your finished piece will help it lay flat and hold its shape.
Secure the 3D Pumpkins Well: Make sure to firmly attach the mini pumpkins so they stay in place with repeated use.
Variations/Color Schemes/Ideas
Classic Pumpkin Tones: Use traditional orange for the coaster, with green stems and brown accents for a realistic look.
Christmas Version: Make a wintery take with white or deep red pumpkins for a festive holiday table setting.
Rustic Vibes: Try using earthy tones like mustard yellow, deep brown, or burnt orange for a farmhouse-inspired coaster.
Pastel Pumpkins: Create a softer look with light pink, baby blue, or lavender for a modern fall aesthetic.
Make a Set: Crochet a matching set in different colors to use throughout the season or gift as a bundle.
