This Peppermint Swirl Crochet Coasters Pattern follows the same basic design as my Summer Spiral Coaster Pattern but this time I used a slightly heavier yarn weight and of course different colors.

Peppermint Swirl Crochet Coasters Pattern

Here’s what you will need:

• red and white cotton worsted weight yarn
• G / 4.0mm crochet hook or H / 5.0mm crochet hook
• stitch marker
• yarn needle and scissors

Add this pattern to your Ravelry library.

Finished coaster measures approximately 4¼ in. in diameter.

Coasters are worked in a spiral; do not join at the end of each round. Use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of each round, and move it up as you work.

With white, make a magic ring (as an alternative to the magic ring, you can ch 4 and join with a slip stitch in the furthest chain from hook to form a ring).

Round 1: Ch 1 (does not count as st here and throughout), work 6 sc in ring, — 6 sts.

Round 2: Work 2 sc in each st around — 12 sts.

Round 3: *2 sc in next, 1 sc in next, rep from * around — 18 sts.

Round 4: *2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of the next 2 sts, rep from * around — 24 sts.

Round 5: *2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of the next 3 sts, rep from * around — 30 sts.

Round 6: *2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of the next 4 sts, rep from * around — 36 sts.

Round 7: *2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of the next 5 sts, rep from * around — 42 sts.

Slip st in next 2 sts and fasten off.

Now we will add our spiral design by working surface stitches with red yarn. To work a surface stitch, keep your working yarn at the back of your work, insert your hook from front to back through the top of the first stitch from Round 1, and pick up a loop of yarn, *insert your hook from front to back through the next st, pick up yarn and pull through the loop on your hook (1 surface stitch made). Continue from * around until all stitches are worked. For step-by-step photos, see my Summer Spiral Coaster Pattern.

Fasten off, weave in ends.
