Product Description
9 Minute Coaster
This easy coaster can be made in 9 minutes or less (yes, I timed it!), thanks to the super bulky T-Shirt yarn.
T-Shirt yarn is not a necessity for the project though - you can use any bulky or super bulky yarn and the pattern includes instructions on adding extra rounds.
This pattern uses the waistcoat or knit stitch and a ‘seamless join’ technique to avoid that ‘slip stitch seam’ that you get when you work in the round.
It includes a full photo and video tutorial, which is especially useful for getting the hang of the seamless join.

What is Being Made
The 9 Minute Coaster is a beginner-friendly crochet project designed to create small circular table accessories. Each finished coaster measures 4 inches (10 centimeters) in diameter, making them practical for protecting surfaces from beverages and hot dishes. This quick project is ideal for crafters new to crochet who want to complete a functional item in minimal time.
Craft and Techniques
This pattern uses crochet as the primary construction method. The coaster is worked in the round, a fundamental crochet technique where stitches spiral outward from a central point to create circular shapes. Working in the round allows for even, symmetrical construction without visible seams, making it an excellent technique for beginners to practice.
Stitches Used
The pattern features the waistcoat stitch, a textured crochet stitch that creates a distinctive, dense fabric. This stitch is worked throughout the coaster to build both structure and visual interest. The waistcoat stitch is measured at a gauge of 4 stitches by 3 rows per 2 inches (5 centimeters), providing a reference point for achieving proper sizing and fabric density.
Materials and Tools
This project calls for #6 / Super Bulky yarn, specifically Hoooked Zpagetti T-Shirt Yarn, which comes in skeins of 120 meters (131 yards) per 850-gram unit. The super chunky weight yarn is what enables the rapid completion time, as fewer stitches and rows are needed to reach finished dimensions.
A crochet hook sized 7mm/K-10.5 to 9mm/M-13 is recommended, though the pattern notes that you should select a hook size that allows you to work comfortably with your chosen yarn. Hook selection is important for achieving proper gauge and fabric texture.
Yarn Substitution Options
The pattern provides flexibility for yarn choices. If Hoooked Zpagetti T-Shirt Yarn is unavailable, the designer suggests these alternatives:
- Any #6 / Super Bulky yarn
- Any #5 / Bulky yarn, such as Bernat Maker Home Décor
- Two strands of any #4 / Medium / Worsted weight yarn held together
The pattern notes that depending on your yarn choice, you may need to crochet an extra round or two to achieve the target 4-inch diameter, allowing for customization based on yarn characteristics and personal gauge.
Skill Level and Pattern Support
Designed as a beginner difficulty project, the 9 Minute Coaster is accessible to those new to crochet. The pattern includes a recommendation to read through the entire instructions before beginning.
