Easy Crochet Christmas Wreath Coaster | Holiday Gift
A Christmas wreath doesn’t have to hang on a door—this little one can sit under your favorite holiday mug. 🎄 With a round coaster base, a wreath-like outer edge, a bow, and small pom-pom decorations, it brings a festive detail to a coffee table without taking up much space.
Make one for yourself or pair a few with a mug for a handmade gift. This guide explains how the coaster comes together; you can follow every stitch in my free Christmas wreath coaster video tutorial.
What you’ll need
- Yarn for the coaster base and wreath
- Small amounts of yarn for the bow and pom-poms
- A crochet hook suited to your yarn
- Yarn needle and scissors
Choosing yarn: Cotton is a practical option for a coaster you’ll use regularly. For a traditional wreath, try green with a red bow. Cream, sage, and dusty pink would give the same project a softer holiday look.
The video uses basic US crochet terms: ch (chain), sc (single crochet), dc (double crochet), and sl st (slip stitch).
How the wreath coaster comes together
- Make the round coaster base
Begin with the circular base. Check that it lies flat as it grows: if the edges start to curl upward or ripple, pause and compare your stitch placement with the video before continuing. An even base gives your mug a steadier place to sit.
- Crochet the wreath round
Work the decorative wreath section around the circle. This outer round gives the coaster its Christmas wreath look. Keep your tension comfortable so the finished edge can lie flat on the table.
- Add the bow and pom-poms
Make the bow and position it on the wreath before sewing it down. Then add the pom-pom details. Try placing the decorations toward the outer edge, leaving the center clear for your mug. ✨
A small gift idea
Make a matching pair in someone’s favorite holiday colors and tie them together with ribbon. You could also make each coaster slightly different while keeping the same wreath design—a simple way to turn leftover yarn into a personal gift.
