10 in 1 Christmas Pop-Up Coaster Crochet Pattern

Set your mug down and watch Santa sit up.

The worsted size fits a standard mug with a base inside the 8.4 cm clear centre; the DK size fits a small cup or glass with a base inside the 6.5 cm clear centre.

Written step by step for beginners, with each design's level marked.

Meet the ten friends

• Santa: A white-edged red coaster with a bearded Santa, a floppy hat, mittens and boots.

• Reindeer: A red-nosed reindeer with branched antlers, pointed ears, four hooves and a white stub tail.

• Snowman: A carrot-nosed snowman with coal eyes, a blue beanie, a hanging red scarf and twig arms.

• Gingerbread: A white icing edge, a red bow and pink cheeks give this gingerbread friend its shape.

• Penguin: A white face patch, orange beak, red beanie, black flippers and orange feet.

• Elf: A green pointed hat with a gold bell, long side ears, peach hands and pointed red shoes.

• Polar Bear: Round pink-lined ears, an ivory muzzle and paw pads, and a blue scarf with a hanging end.

• Gnome: A tall red hat hides the eyes above a peach nose and a long white beard, with grey arms and brown boots.

• Puppy: Long brown floppy ears frame an ivory muzzle below a little Santa hat, with four paws and a brown tail.

• Christmas Tree: A triangular green pillow with a gold star, pink cheeks and three off-centre ornaments, plus branched green arms.

What is included

One 109-page English PDF with linked contents, US terms with UK conversion, ten self-contained designs, both yarn sizes, counted pieces, stitch-school drawings and drawn sewing steps.

What you need

Worsted / aran cotton with a 4.0 mm hook, or DK cotton with a 3.0 mm hook; a little fiberfill, a yarn needle, stitch markers and pins. Choose 10-12 mm googly eyes or embroidered eyes; the gnome stays faceless.

Flattened discs measure about 11.2 cm in worsted or 8.7 cm in DK. Pick a mug whose bottom fits inside the clear centre.

Make a hot cocoa gift with a mug, a teacher or neighbour gift, a family set, or a friend for Santa's cookie plate.

Digital crochet pattern only; no finished coaster or mug is supplied. Hand wash, reshape the dome while damp and dry flat, dome side up. For mugs and glasses, not hot pans.
