Things To Note:
- We used #3 light worsted acrylic yarn for these coasters, which has about 12 wraps per inch. You can also use other yarn types, like cotton or cotton blends, with a similar weight.
- The recommended hook size for the yarn we used is 4mm, but we opted for a 3mm hook instead. We chose the smaller hook because it created a tighter stitch, which improved the overall look of the coaster.
- You can use different yarn weights and matching hook sizes to create these eyeball coasters but keep in mind that the sizes might differ from ours. If you want the coasters to be the same size as in the pattern, use the recommended yarn weight and hook size.

Tips
- Use a slightly smaller hook than recommended for your yarn. This will create a tighter, neater finish.
- Make sure your stitches are consistent to ensure that all your coasters are the same size and shape.
- Pay attention to color changes and where you place your stitches to get the eyeball design just right.
- Weave in all the loose ends to prevent them from unraveling and keep your coasters looking neat.
- Try different color combinations to make your coasters unique, and consider adding a border for extra flair.
FAQ
For crocheting coasters, cotton yarn is ideal because it's durable, absorbent, and easy to clean. Cotton blends and acrylic yarns are also good options, offering a range of colors and ease of care.
Yes, you can use different yarn weights, but be aware that the size of your coasters may change. For the best results, stick to the recommended yarn weight.
To change colors, finish the last stitch of the old color by joining the round with a slip stitch, cut the yarn, fasten off, and weave in the end. Then join the new color with a slip stitch to the last round worked and continue crocheting with the new color.
Block your coasters after finishing to help them lay flat. Simply wet the coasters, shape them, and let them dry completely.
