About This Automation Test Citrus Slice Coaster Pattern

This small coaster uses joined rounds of double crochet and single crochet. A cream border separates the fruit center from its colorful rind. Simple sewn spokes add the citrus-slice detail without changing the stitch counts.

Switch Things Up

I would start with orange yarn and a cream ring for a classic citrus slice.

I would choose pale yellow when I want a softer lemon-inspired version.

I would use green yarn for a fresh lime coaster on a summer table.

I would keep the same yarn weight throughout so the rounds sit evenly.

I would test a small color swatch before making a complete gift set.

I would leave the segment spokes slightly relaxed to keep the circle flat.

I would make several matching coasters rather than add extra rounds immediately.

I would check the size against my own glass before making the next one.

I would wash a spare swatch first if I planned to use a strong contrasting yarn.

I would tie the finished set with a ribbon for a simple handmade present.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Adding the turning chain as an extra stitch changes the count; follow the stated chain rules carefully.✗ Pulling the sewn segment lines too tightly can cup the coaster; loosen the spokes until it lies flat.✗ Missing an increase can make the circle curl; recount each completed round before starting the next one.✗ Leaving short yarn tails makes finishing insecure; keep enough length to weave through several stitches on the back.

Important Notes

  • 💡All stitch names use US crochet terminology.
  • 💡The beginning ch 3 counts as one dc in rounds 1 through 3; ch 1 never counts as a stitch.
  • 💡Finished size depends on your yarn, hook, and tension; make one coaster before planning a full set.
  • 💡This original sample article is a publishing test, not a transcription of a supplied PDF.
  • 💡The example image is illustrative and reused from an existing Hook Vibes citrus article.

A few bright colors and a small circle can make an everyday table feel more personal. Take your time with the joins, count the stitches, and enjoy the simple finishing details. This test pattern is a small project to try before planning a full matching set.

FAQs

Do I need to make separate pieces?

No. The coaster is one flat circle, with simple segment lines sewn on afterward.

Why is my coaster curling?

Check the stitch counts and make sure the sewn spokes are not too tight. If your counts are correct, try a slightly larger hook or gentler tension.

Can I choose a different citrus color?

Yes. Change the fruit and rind colors while keeping the yarn weight and stitch instructions the same.
