About This Vinyl Record Coasters Pattern

This pattern creates a crochet vinyl record coaster comprised of a small contrast centre insert and a larger black vinyl body. Youll use basic rounds, increases and front post stitches to build the shape. Both UK and US stitch term versions are included so you can follow the terminology you prefer.

Why You'll Love This Vinyl Record Coasters Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns a simple circle into something nostalgic and fun with only a few rounds. I enjoy that it is quick to make and gives a big visual impact for very little time. The use of front-post stitches to create the vinyl effect is satisfying and gives a nice texture. I also appreciate that I can easily customise the centre contrast colour for a personalised gift or themed set.

Switch Things Up

I love changing the centre contrast colour to make themed sets; try pastels, neons, or metallic yarn for fun variations.

I often make mini sets as gifts by using the same centre colour but alternating the vinyl body colour for seasonal looks.

I sometimes swap the yarn weight and hook to make larger or smaller coasters; using a thicker yarn will create a chunkier coaster.

I recommend trying a variegated yarn for the centre insert to create a unique marbled record label effect.

I occasionally embroider a small label or initials onto the contrast insert for personalised gifts.

I like to block the coaster lightly to help it sit flat if your tension makes it slightly wavy after row 6.

I sometimes add a thin non-slip backing if the coaster will be used on a smooth surface and needs extra grip.

I enjoy making matching placemats or pot holders by expanding the same increasing sequence to larger rounds.

I sometimes pair the coasters with a small crocheted record sleeve as a charming gift set.

I encourage you to experiment with placement of the contrast insert and the final FP rows to vary the texture and look of your finished coaster.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not leaving a long tail at the start or end; always leave a 10cm end as instructed for weaving and finishing. ✗ Failing to mark the last stitch of each round; place a stitch marker to keep your continuous rounds aligned correctly. ✗ Skipping the front-post stitches or working them incorrectly; insert your hook from in front of the post and work FP(htr) or FP(hdc) exactly as written. ✗ Cutting ends too short before securing; secure with a couple of small stitches then weave through the back of nearest stitches before trimming.

Assembly Instructions

  • Secure the starting and ending tails: leave a 10cm end at the start and finish of each insert and vinyl round, then fasten off as instructed.
  • Weave tails through the back of the nearest stitches: use a wool needle to weave the tail through the back of the nearest tr/dc/htr/hdc stitches before trimming flush for a neat finish.
  • Use a couple of small securing stitches before weaving ends: add a couple of small securing stitches to anchor the tail before weaving to prevent slippage.
  • Join contrast insert and vinyl visually by centering the insert: when placing the contrast centre onto the black vinyl, centre it in the middle and ensure its secure before weaving any remaining ends beneath the insert.

Important Notes

  • 💡Unless stated work in continuous rounds marking last stitch of each row with a stitch marker before proceeding with the next.
  • 💡Leave a 10cm end at the start and finish of each component for secure finishing and weaving.
  • 💡Secure ends with a couple of small stitches before weaving through the back of the nearest stitches and cutting flush to finish.
