Add a cozy handmade touch to your fall décor with these easy crochet pumpkin granny coasters!
Made with simple rounds and textured puff stitches, these little pumpkins are quick to work up and are a fun way to use a few coordinating yarn colors.
Each coaster measures approximately 4″ x 4″, making them the perfect size for coffee mugs, cider, or fall drinks.
You can make them in classic orange shades or mix in cream, rust, mustard, or other autumn colors for a more modern look.
This free crochet pumpkin coaster pattern uses medium weight yarn and a size I crochet hook, and you can use either acrylic or cotton yarn depending on what you have on hand.
Make a set for your own home, tuck a few into a fall gift basket, or work up several for a quick handmade hostess gift.
Happy crocheting!
