Crochet Web Spiders Coasters Step-By-Step Process
This Crochet Web Spiders Coaster is worked in six rounds, starting from a central magic ring and gradually increasing the chain spaces in each round. The combination of double crochet stitches and expanding chain spaces creates the open, circular structure of a spider web.
Follow each round carefully and keep your tension even. The chain spaces become larger with every round, which gives the finished coaster its distinctive web-like appearance.
Round 1: Create the Center
Start by making a magic ring. To create the center, chain 4 and form the ring.
Next, chain 3. This chain counts as the first double crochet of the round.
Work 17 double crochets into the magic ring, working all the stitches around the center.
When you finish the round, you should have 18 double crochets in total, including the beginning chain 3.
Join the round as shown in the pattern and prepare to begin Round 2.
Round 2: Add the First Chain Spaces
Begin Round 2 with chain 3. This counts as the first double crochet.
Next, chain 1.
Work 1 double crochet into the first double crochet stitch from the previous round.
Chain 1 again, then work 1 double crochet into the next stitch.
Continue working this pattern around the entire round: 1 double crochet in each double crochet stitch from the previous round, with 1 chain between every double crochet.
The repeated pattern for this round is: dc, ch 1, dc, ch 1.
Make sure every double crochet from the previous round receives one double crochet, and keep one chain space between each stitch.
At the end of the round, join as directed to close the round.
Round 3: Increase the Web Spaces
Start Round 3 with chain 3, which counts as the first double crochet.
In this round, the chain spaces become larger. Work 1 double crochet into each double crochet stitch from the previous round.
After every double crochet, chain 2 before working the next double crochet.
Continue this pattern all the way around the coaster: dc, ch 2, dc, ch 2.
Work the double crochet stitches directly into the double crochet stitches from the previous round. The chain-2 spaces will create the next open section of the spider web.
Join the round at the end.
Round 4: Continue the Spider Web Pattern
Begin Round 4 with chain 3. This counts as the first double crochet.
Work 1 double crochet into each double crochet stitch from the previous round.
After every double crochet, chain 3.
Continue around the entire round using the pattern: dc, ch 3, dc, ch 3.
Keep the double crochet stitches aligned with the double crochet stitches from the previous round. The larger chain-3 spaces will make the web more open as the coaster grows.
Join the round when you reach the beginning.
Round 5: Expand the Web Further
Start Round 5 with chain 3, which counts as the first double crochet.
Work 1 double crochet into each double crochet stitch from the previous round.
After each double crochet, chain 4.
Continue the same pattern around the entire coaster: dc, ch 4, dc, ch 4.
Make sure you do not skip the double crochet stitches from the previous round. Each double crochet is separated from the next one by a chain-4 space.
Join the round at the end.
Round 6: Complete the Spider Web Coaster
Begin the final round with chain 3. This counts as the first double crochet.
Work 1 double crochet into each double crochet stitch from the previous round.
After every double crochet, chain 5.
Continue around the entire round using the pattern: dc, ch 5, dc, ch 5.
The chain-5 spaces create the largest and most open sections of the spider web, giving the coaster its finished web-like appearance.
Once you have worked around the entire coaster, join the round to complete the pattern.
Finishing the Crochet Web Spiders Coaster
Fasten off the yarn after completing Round 6.
Use a yarn needle to weave in the loose ends securely on the back of the coaster. Trim any excess yarn.
Lay the coaster flat and gently shape it with your hands. If necessary, lightly block the coaster to help the web pattern open up and give the edges a neat, round shape.
Your Crochet Web Spiders Coaster is now complete and ready for your Halloween table decor. Make several in different Halloween colors to create a matching set of spooky spider web coasters.
Customization Ideas
Classic Black Spider Web
