You’re looking for a “coaster supla”! This usually refers to a smaller version of a crochet placemat (often called a “sousplat” or “supla” in some regions), designed with more decorative edging or texture, but sized for a coaster. It’s a wonderful way to combine functionality with intricate beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This pattern will create a beautiful, sturdy, and visually appealing coaster with a more elaborate border than a simple circle, giving it that “supla” feel. As always, cotton yarn is crucial for functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pattern: Beautiful Crochet Coaster Supla Tutorial<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This tutorial will guide you through crocheting a decorative coaster that evokes the intricate look of a larger placemat or “supla.” It features a solid base and a lovely, detailed border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goal:<\/strong> To create a flat, dense, and decorative coaster (approx. 4.5 – 5.5 inches in diameter) with an eye-catching, “supla-style” border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Materials You’ll Need:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Yarn:<\/strong>\n
      \n
    • 100% Cotton Worsted Weight (Medium #4) Yarn:<\/strong> Absolutely essential<\/strong> for coasters due to its absorbency and heat resistance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Choose your desired main color (e.g., natural, white, yellow, or a bright pop of color).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Optional:<\/strong> A small amount of a contrasting color for the final border round if you want a layered look.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Crochet Hook:<\/strong>\n
        \n
      • Size H\/5.0mm<\/strong> (or a size that yields a dense, flat fabric with your chosen cotton yarn. Adjust as needed to prevent curling or rippling).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n

          Understanding the Coaster Supla Structure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          This coaster is built in distinct stages to achieve its decorative look:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Solid Base:<\/strong> A sturdy, flat circle using half double crochet (hdc) for density.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Transition Round:<\/strong> A round of single crochet to create a solid edge for the decorative border.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Decorative Border – Round 1:<\/strong> Creating the first layer of the “supla” pattern using groups of stitches and chain spaces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Decorative Border – Round 2:<\/strong> Building on the previous border round with taller stitches and more chain spaces to create the intricate edge.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Let’s Start Crocheting!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            Part 1: The Solid Coaster Base<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            We’ll use hdc stitches for the main body to ensure a dense and flat coaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Option A: Chain Ring (Beginner-Friendly Start)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Ch 3.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Sl st<\/strong> into the first chain<\/strong> you made to form a ring.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Option B: Magic Ring (MR \/ Magic Circle – Recommended for a no-hole center)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Create a Magic Ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Ch 1<\/strong> (does NOT count as a stitch; it just secures the ring).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                Round 1 (Center Base):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Into the center ring (from Option A or B), ch 1<\/strong> (does not count as a stitch).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Work 8 hdc<\/strong> into the center ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. Sl st<\/strong> into the first hdc to join the round. (8 hdc).\n
                    \n
                  • If using Magic Ring, gently pull the starting yarn tail to close the center hole tightly.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                      \n
                    1. Ch 1<\/strong> (does not count as a stitch).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    2. Work 2 hdc in each hdc<\/strong> around (hdc increase in every stitch). (16 hdc).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    3. Sl st<\/strong> into the first hdc to join the round.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                      Round 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \n

                              \n
                            • At this point, your coaster should be approximately 3.5 – 4 inches in diameter and laying perfectly flat.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                              Part 2: The Transition Round (Solid Edge for Border)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                              This round helps to define the edge before the more decorative border starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                \n
                              1. Ch 1<\/strong> (does not count as a stitch).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                              2. Work 1 sc<\/strong> into each hdc<\/strong> around. (40 sc).<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                                • If you want to change colors for your border, FO<\/strong> here, weave in the end, and join your new color in any sc stitch.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                  Part 3: The Decorative “Supla” Border – Round 1<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                                  This round starts to create the openwork and clusters characteristic of many supla designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    \n
                                  1. Ch 3<\/strong> (counts as first dc).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                  2. Work 2 dc<\/strong> into the same stitch<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                                      This is the final, most decorative round, building on the previous clusters and spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        \n
                                      1. Sl st<\/strong> into the next dc, then sl st<\/strong> into the next dc. Now sl st<\/strong> into the first ch-3 space<\/strong> to position your hook. (This helps center you in the space).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      2. Ch 1<\/strong> (does not count as a stitch).<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                                            \n
                                          1. Weave in All Ends:<\/strong> This is essential for a clean, durable coaster.\n
                                              \n
                                            • Thread each yarn tail onto your yarn needle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                            • Carefully weave the tail through several stitches on the back<\/strong> of your coaster, going in different directions to secure it firmly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                            • Trim any excess yarn close to the fabric.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                            • Blocking (Highly Recommended):<\/strong>\n
                                                \n
                                              • Gently wet your coaster (or spray it with water until damp).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                              • Pin the coaster flat onto a foam blocking mat or a towel-covered surface, gently stretching the points and shaping it into a perfect circle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                              • Let it air dry completely. Blocking makes a huge difference in making your coaster lay flat, defines the stitches, and gives it a professional, finished look.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                                Tips for Beginners:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                                                  \n
                                                • Cotton Yarn is Non-Negotiable:<\/strong> For functionality, always use 100% cotton for coasters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                                • Consistent Tension:<\/strong> This is key to a flat coaster and a neat-looking border.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                                • Counting Stitches and Spaces:<\/strong> Especially in the border rounds, ensure you’re skipping the correct number of stitches and working into the correct spaces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                                • Visualizing Spaces:<\/strong> If you’re new to working into chain spaces, practice identifying them. They are the “holes” created by the chains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                                • Use a Stitch Marker:<\/strong> Mark the first stitch of each round if you find yourself losing your place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                                • Video Tutorials:<\/strong> If you’re unsure about specific stitches (like dc or tr) or how to join rounds seamlessly, quick YouTube tutorials can be very helpful.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                                • Experiment with Colors:<\/strong> Try a solid color for a minimalist look, or use a contrasting color for the last border round to make the pattern pop!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Enjoy your beautiful, functional, and decorative “coaster supla”!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
