With the nice weather we are having, I was suddenly inspired to make fruit coasters. I love the way they turned out and I think they would be a fabulous hostess gift and a lot of fun to have out for your spring or summer get togethers!
Materials:
– Worsted weight yarn. I used Vanna’s Choice in Scarlet (red), Mustard (yellow), Fern (green), Terracotta (orange), White, and Chocolate (brown). You can find and purchase these at www.lionbrand.com. The pink in the watermelon is Red Heart with Love Bubble Gum.
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle

These are all super cute! LOVE them all!
I've made the apple, strawberry and watermelon so far (college kid with too much time…) An there is a little mistake in the strawberry pattern. When it says, "SC in each stitch until you get to the last 5 stitches", it should say 6 stitches because there are 12 stitches to do after, 2 in each (2 HDC, 2 HDC, 2 DC, 2 HDC, 2 HDC, 2 SC)
Thanks for the great patterns 🙂
Oh no! Thanks for catching that. This is what happens when I write down the pattern after I have finished instead of writing it as I go 🙂 So I counted my stitches again and it looks like I actually added in and extra "2 HDC". I updated the pattern but I am sure it will work if you leave 6 stitches and do it the way I originally had it written 🙂
I did it the way you wrote it and it turned out fine.
gorgeous! I like it so much! thanks for sharing 🙂
Creame y mas
How cute! 🙂
Oh my gosh Sarah!! This is too adorably cute! I'm not a crotcheter or a blogger, just a regular kid. So I don't really know how to do this. Do you sell these cuties on your Etsy shop? If so, please let me know. Thank you! 🙂
Sarah these are fabulous! You could use them as applique too! For summertime 🙂 Thanks for sharing. Rhondda
Awesome Sarah! Thank you!
These are just adorable! Thank you so much for sharing. I could use any hint of spring/summer I can get! It is still cold in MN! Love all of your patterns and I use them frequently! Thanks again!
You are not kidding about all ends to weave in on the lemon and orange. Whew! Oh well, I am becoming a pro at it. 😛
Cute pattern!

I've posted a link to your coasters. Hope you don't mind! http://wannabecrunchy.com/free-pear-scrubbie-crochet-pattern/
Hy Sarah, thank a lot for your patterns.. I really enjoy watching that. really nice.. I wanna make it ^^
I had a blast making these! When I figure out how to post a picture to your blog I would love to share. On the citrus fruit for the surface slip at the end of each section I pulled a single strand of yarn all the way through (left it about 1.5 ft long, weaves over on the backside to where the next one should be and continued. That way I only have two ends to weave in. Lived these patterns! Thank you so much!!!
hermoso blog muchas gracias por compartir los patrones besos desde argentina =) las peras me quedaron divinas!!!!!
Do you know that these arr the easiest instructions to follow, thank you so much, in the process of making them all!!

Simple and adorable.
Thank you for posting the free coaster pattern! It is fabulous:) I have included it on my blog Karla's Making It (linking to your pattern, of course)! You can view it here http://www.karlasmakingit.com/free-crochet-patterns/free-crochet-coaster-patterns/
I'm going to start making these tomorrow. I want to do the Strawberry one for for a birthday card.
Dear Sarah, thank you so much for these patterns, i have been searching for a crochet apple coaster pattern and haven’t been able to find the right one. I just finished making one and it looks great (not as perfect as yours of course) but it still looked good. Thanks again. Miriam.
Hi Sarah, Love these so much!! Really want to make them, but before I start, was wondering what the finished size is across?
I have to tell you I come to your site all the time! I signed up All Free Crochet and they direct me here a lot. I really enjoy coming by and thanks for having me! You are a great host! I keep wanting to call you Diedra??? lol I bet you are a lot of fun! Thanks for the crochet tips!!
Thank you for the pattern.
I just have one question – is the pattern written in UK or US crochet terms?
US terms
I love these! Is it ok for anyone to make these and sell the finished coasters?
I love these fruit patterns but can anyone out there help me to attach the leaves and stems so they look like the pictures. I end up with a lot of threads in knots on the back.
OMG THANKS SO MCUH!!!!!! QUEEN FOREVER!
Hi! These are very adorable, I’m wondering how you keep the “seed” black yarn from poking through. For example in the watermelon do you sew the black tailings into the red part? Does it look odd on the back? Thanks!
