Looking for a fun way to use up old T-shirts or fabric scraps? This free fabric crochet coaster pattern is a quick and easy project that turns leftover fabric into something useful for your home!
These chunky little coasters are made with fabric yarn (also called T-shirt yarn) and work up in just four rounds of single crochet. They’re a great way to give old T-shirts, sheets, or other fabric a new purpose.
If you’ve never crocheted with fabric before, don’t worry! You can follow my How to Make Fabric Yarn tutorial to prepare your own yarn before getting started.

Pattern Notes
- Coasters are worked in continuous, unjoined rounds. Do not join rounds with a slip stitch; continue working directly into the next round until the coaster is complete.
- Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round.
- The beginning ch-1 does not count as a stitch.
- Fabric yarn can vary in thickness, so your finished coaster size may vary.
- Stitch counts are provided at the end of each round.
Fabric Crochet Coaster Pattern Instructions
Make a magic ring. Alternatively, ch 4 and join with a sl st in the farthest chain from the hook to form a ring.
Round 1: Ch 1 (does not count as st), work 6 sc in ring — 6 sts.
Round 2: Work 2 sc in each st around — 12 sts.
Round 3: *Work 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next st; rep from * around — 18 sts.
Round 4: *Work 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of the next 2 sts; rep from * around — 24 sts.
Sl st in next st and fasten off. Weave in ends.
That’s it! Your fabric crochet coaster is ready to use.

Love this round-up! So great to use materials we have on hand.
Really cute, Kara! I can’t decide if I want to make them with fabric yarn or t-shirt yarn as both would be awesome!
I think either one will work out great!
