How to Crochet an Adorable Yoda Coaster

Introduction Crocheting is a fun and creative hobby that allows you to make various items, including adorable Yoda coasters. In this tutorial, I will guide you through the step-by-step process of crocheting your own Yoda coaster. These coasters make excellent gifts for Star Wars fans or even a cute addition to your own home decor. So, let's grab our crochet hooks and get started!

Materials Needed Before we dive into the crochet pattern, let's gather all the materials we will need for this project. Here's what you'll need:

• Crochet hook (size may vary depending on your yarn choice)
• Worsted weight yarn in green and any other desired colors
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Stitch markers

Yoda Coaster Base The first step in making your Yoda coaster is creating the base. The base will serve as the foundation for the coaster and give it its shape. Let's start with the base rounds.

Round 1 To begin, create a magic circle and chain one. Single crochet six stitches into the magic circle. Pull the magic circle tight to secure the stitches. You should now have six stitches.

Round 2 In this round, we will increase the number of stitches. Place two single crochet stitches in each stitch around, for a total of 12 stitches. Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch in this round.

Round 3 In this round, we will continue increasing the stitches. Place two single crochet stitches in the first stitch, then one single crochet in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern all the way around, resulting in a total of 18 stitches.

Round 4 Similar to the previous rounds, we will place two single crochet stitches in the first stitch and one single crochet in each of the next two stitches. Repeat this pattern around to end up with 24 stitches for round four.

Round 5 For round five, place two single crochet stitches in the first stitch, then one single crochet in each of the next three stitches. Repeat this pattern around, resulting in a total of 30 stitches.

Round 6 In round six, place two single crochet stitches in the first stitch, then one single crochet in each of the next four stitches. Repeat this pattern around to end up with 36 stitches.

Round 7 This is the final round of the coaster base. Place two single crochet stitches in the first stitch, then one single crochet in each of the next five stitches. Repeat this pattern around, resulting in a total of 42 stitches. Slip stitch into the next stitch and chain one to finish off the base.

Creating Yoda's Ears Yoda's ears are a distinct feature that makes our Yoda coaster adorable. Let's learn how to crochet the ears.

Row 1 Create a slip knot on your crochet hook, leaving a long tail for attaching the ear to the coaster. Chain 11 stitches.

Row 2 In this row, we will start decreasing the number of stitches. Single crochet decrease (pull up a loop through the first stitch, then pull up a loop through the second stitch, and pull through all three loops) to decrease the stitches. After the decrease, single crochet in each of the next eight stitches. This row will have a total of nine stitches.

Row 3 Similar to the previous row, single crochet decrease in the first stitch and single crochet in each of the next seven stitches. This row will have a total of eight stitches.

Row 4 Single crochet decrease in the first stitch, then single crochet in each of the next six stitches. This row will have a total of seven stitches.

Row 5 Single crochet decrease in the first stitch, then single crochet in each of the next five stitches. This row will have a total of six stitches.

Row 6 Single crochet decrease in the first stitch, then single crochet in each of the next four stitches. This row will have a total of five stitches.

Row 7 Single crochet decrease in the first stitch, then single crochet in each of the next three stitches. This row will have a total of four stitches.

Row 8 Single crochet decrease in the first stitch, then single crochet in each of the next two stitches. This row will have a total of three stitches.

Row 9 Single crochet decrease in the first stitch, then single crochet in the next stitch. This row will have a total of two stitches.

Row 10 To complete the ear, single crochet decrease in the last two stitches. Chain one and tie off, leaving a long tail for attaching the ear to the coaster.

Attaching Yoda's Ears to the Coaster Now that we have two ears ready, it's time to attach them to our coaster.
