What You’ll Make

• A cute cat-shaped crochet coaster
• A practical mug rug for everyday use
• A quick project that is easy to personalize
• A handmade gift for cat lovers

Materials

• Yarn colors: black, white ,red, pink, sage
• Yarn weight and amount: worsted yarn
• Crochet hook: [Add exact hook size]
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle

For a coaster that is practical and easy to care for, cotton or cotton-blend yarn is a good choice. Use the same yarn and hook shown in the video if you want a similar finished size.

Before You Begin

• Use US crochet terminology.
• Keep your tension even so the coaster stays flat.
• Watch the first part of the video carefully because the starting shape controls the final cat silhouette.
• If you change yarn or hook size, the finished coaster may become larger or smaller.

1. Create the Main Shape

Start with the foundation shown in the video and work through the first section carefully.

Try to keep your stitches even and check that the edges remain flat. This will make the cat shape look cleaner as you continue.

2. Shape the Cat Silhouette

Follow the video to form the ears and the outer shape of the coaster. Pay attention to where each increase, decrease, or turning point is placed.

If a section looks uneven, pause the video and compare your work with the close-up demonstration before continuing.

3. Complete the Details

Continue with the final details shown in the tutorial. Work slowly around the edges so the coaster keeps its shape and lies flat under a mug.

You can make several coasters in different colors for a matching set or use one color for a simple minimalist look.

4. Finish Your Coaster

Fasten off, weave in the ends, and gently shape the coaster with your fingers.

Before using it, place it on a flat surface for a moment. If the edges curl slightly, adjust your tension or gently block the piece according to the yarn label.

Color Ideas

Try one of these combinations:

• Black + cream for a classic cat look
• Gray + pink for a soft and playful style
• Orange + cream for a warm autumn palette
• Brown + beige for a natural handmade feel
• Several different colors for a fun mismatched coaster set

You can also use scrap yarn for the details, making this a useful little stash-busting project.

Make It Your Own

This coaster can be customized in many simple ways. Try changing the cat color, adding a contrasting edge, or making a set with several different shades.

It would also make a lovely small gift when paired with a mug, tea bags, or a handmade kitchen item. ☕
