I have 4 cats, and I have to sneak in my crochet sessions during their naps. These are wonderful coasters, and I use cotton yarn leftovers to make these. I have binocular vision disfunction, so it's hard to read patterns without eye fatigue. I'm so grateful for your tutorial and the chance to make nice gifts for people.
Thank you so much for your tutorial. I have made several of these and they are beautiful. I just finished a set of four to give as a gift. I cannot thank you enough for sharing this beautiful coaster with all of us. So far this is my favorite pattern for a coaster. 🥰
Thanks! You are suck a good teacher! I would have thrown my project away had it not been for this tutorial. Explaining that the first DC, after DC/CH/DC, can sometimes be hidden was a godsend. Thank you, again !
This is exactly the pattern that I was looking for. I am a newer crocheter and this is a beautiful project that I can do just in time for Christmas. Thank you so much for the pattern!
I am not a good crocheter, but I was able to follow along, with some pauses along the way. I really like your closure, too! Enmxcellent directions on the details! Thank you so much!
i love this tutorial and i’m glad i stayed to the end: i love the way you fasten off and weave in the ends. the visible knot i’ve been doing was quite ugly. thank you!
Well done... Thank you so much... I saved it, as I am a visual learner..and I love hexies... They are really big in the quilting world.. That truck of going into the back loop, with your slip stitch is nice.. it looks so neat.
Thank you for your easy-to-follow tutorial!! I especially liked your caveat about inadvertently covering up the 1st stitch and being careful at the corners! (10:23) I learned that the hard way 😂 I also liked your tip on hiding the very last end stitch by weaving/over lapping! Bravo! ❤🇨🇦
I love this pattern! Your instructions were very easy to follow along with too! Im going to try to make a blanket out of this and just keep increasing the size until im happy. It builds so easily and is one of the easiest patterns ive ever used.
I did it. Thank you. Easy project. I agree would make a nice gift. I used smaller weight yarn so I did one additional row. Great tip on finishing the last slip stitch. Going to have to remember it for future projects.
Well, I accidentally created a pentagon coaster. I believe when you said make sure you have 6 chunks in the beginning, I ended up with 5. I didn't realize until the 3rd or 4th round but I still love the way it came out! :) I will follow this video again to make the proper hexagon lol.
Thank you! 😍 At first I thought I was doing it wrong. But as I was on the 3rd round it was alright 😅 Thanks for the pattern, I'm a beginner in crocheting 😊
Thank you! I made this for table coasters but didn’t do last roll for size to fit under a glass, bottle, and can.. Worked out so nice. I also made a small crochet basket to fit 12 in to hold them in one place before use. Thank you again for such good directions!!L
Your written pattern has an error from Round 1. If you follow "CH 3 and 1 DC into the ring, CH 2, * 2 DC, CH 2, 2 DC ** into centre ring, repeat from * to ** 4 more times" you will end up with 22DC(including 1 x CH3 in the beginning) and 12 CH. I'm glad I stopped at attempt #2 and followed the instructions in the video instead. Thank you for the video.
I'd love you see photos of them, are you on Instagram? You can find me @crochetandtea please do tag me in them as I love to share creations with our followers :-)
That’s so wonderful to hear. I’m so loving hexagons at the moment. Thinking of making a larger one for the centre of my kitchen table with place mats to match ☺️
@@CrochetandTea me too! I made this last year from a YT video and the user's account have been terminated and I now need to make another pair for my partner and been looking for this simple hexagon with no fuss or designs so I can make another set imgur.com/a/FOYaLmQ
I’m using Hobby Lobby I Love This Cotton super saver yarn. Mine has come out, with just one strand of yarn, as a bit flimsy. I’m going to frog it and double up the strands. I think that will make it sturdier. 🤗
@@CrochetandTea .A lot off fancy colors, .And gifted in set of 6 colors to my sister and my sisters in law. They all were very happy TOS we them One was interested in making it too hence shared your link How I wish I could show u.
Thank you for your video I love to make theses there easy fast and nice looking .I have 2cats to there my baby's and don't bother my yarn touch anymore but yes they still sneek over and get in a chew or two on my yarn .god bless stay safe
I love this! It is really easy and I’m doing it as a gift! I made one and it was amazing! I am making more and was wondering if I’m doing my stitches to tight. The others Aren’t necessarily flat like the first one, when I’m done with them. They kinda curl up to the sky, am I doing something wrong?
It’s possible your stitches are getting tighter as you go which is natural until you get to grips with your tension, a light spray of water a cloth and a couple of heavy books overnight always sorts it out for me :)
Hi, pretty! I just finished crocheting this hexagon coaster. Really plenty of thnx for this video with clear explanation, you deserve a thumbs up 👍. Btw, do you mind me to sell this final product? I would mention you as well😊. Anways, where do you think is the best place to sell online?
This pattern is awesome! I’m using it to make a granny square style blanket. Any advice on how to make half a hexagon? I want the edges of my blanket to be square. Thanks!
Love this design. I’ve been on the lookout for coaster/placemat designs for my kitchen table for a good while now and this looks like a potential winner :D Is there a particular yarn or cord you would recommend that’s relatively resilient to food wear and tear? I know they’d be washable but I’m still after a certain degree of hardiness if they’re going to stand the test of time. Love your instruction style by the way, it’s nice to go along with you through the entire project from start to finish in real time. Relaxing too :)
If you’re looking for something resilient o would recommend looking into woven cords are t-shirt yarn. I have some Bernard home maker I believe it’s called which is really good for hardiness.
Do you think using a medium yarn for coasters instead of a bulky one will make a big difference?? I love your videos and want to try all the coaster tutorials, but would like to use the yarn I already have!!
I am trying to teach my friend Karina how to make this and its not going well. She’s very talented, dont get me wrong, I barely know how to crochet. This should be intermediate. Love, Ashton and Karina
This is a wonderfully approachable tutorial, very enjoyable :) How much wool would you say a placemat would take? I’m planing to make them around 30 centimetres across.
Hi, I've made my first hexagon coaster from your video now I'm making my 2nd, just asking is there a way to make the corners of the hexagon more pointy? 😅
Thanks for sharing this pattern! In my opinion though, you can crochet more efficiently if you learn how to properly hold the yarn with your left hand. The way you hold it looks so tiring. 😅
That’s an interesting pov. What’s sort of efficiencies do you refer to? I’ve seen many ways to hold yarn. I like to think my channel is about throwing out a ‘rule book’ and encouraging people to do whatever helps them to create something beautiful. After all that is the only goal I want x
@@CrochetandTea I hold my yarn exactly the way you do. I'm left handed but crochet right handed and that is the most comfortable way for me. Finding a video of someone doing it the same way as me has made me very happy!!
Love your videos thank you! I’ve made so many coasters I don’t know what to do with them! If I was to sell some (because I can’t stop crocheting but have too much to use) do you have any copyright rules, would I just credit your name as the pattern designer? Thank you
Definitely going to buy some cotton yarn, I use cheap acrylic and I find that it’s very fuzzy(?) and not as clean looking. Has anyone else noticed this with acrylic yarn?
Great vid! Just started crocheting and this is my first thing I'm crocheting, so I'm extremely beginner. Around 4:05, after you chain 3 and say we're gonna place a double crochet into the next double crochet, I'm confused which stitch you're poking the needle through. I wanna say you're putting it in that little hole that gets made in between each set of two double crochets, but it looks like you're poking it through a tighter stitch?
Hi thanks for your comment, that is the correct the place, the top of the stitch is always a little over to the right of the post of the stitch. The one you will see just to the left of where I place my hook is actually the first of the two chain stitches. Hope that helps x
I have 4 cats, and I have to sneak in my crochet sessions during their naps. These are wonderful coasters, and I use cotton yarn leftovers to make these. I have binocular vision disfunction, so it's hard to read patterns without eye fatigue. I'm so grateful for your tutorial and the chance to make nice gifts for people.
Oh bless, that's so sweet. Crocheting whilst my cats sleep, now that's a great name for a blog haha!

Love theses coasters! I’ve made so many and in different colours! Love giving them away as gifts!
Thanks, that's so great to hear :-0
Nice pacing. Easy to follow. I’m a beginner and had no problems except I stink at counting my stitches!
I think we all stink at counting stitches sometimes hehe x.
Thnk you so much for the tutorial. I took thick tshirt yarn and a 12 mm hook and made a nice rug with this pattern
What a great idea and the perfect fibre for a hardwearing item like a rug :-)

Love this design. I’ve been on the lookout for coaster/placemat designs for my kitchen table for a good while now and this looks like a potential winner :D
Is there a particular yarn or cord you would recommend that’s relatively resilient to food wear and tear? I know they’d be washable but I’m still after a certain degree of hardiness if they’re going to stand the test of time.
Love your instruction style by the way, it’s nice to go along with you through the entire project from start to finish in real time. Relaxing too :)
If you’re looking for something resilient o would recommend looking into woven cords are t-shirt yarn. I have some Bernard home maker I believe it’s called which is really good for hardiness.
I just made one. Thank you.
Thanks 🙏
Love how it’s going but am wondering what yarn you used?!
I use one called Sirdar No. 1 chunky
She gives full details during the video 🙂
Do you think using a medium yarn for coasters instead of a bulky one will make a big difference?? I love your videos and want to try all the coaster tutorials, but would like to use the yarn I already have!!
Absolutely if you just make sure you pair it with a hook that matches. You might need to add an extra round to get the size you’re looking for :)
This turned out so pretty . Also Can you please tell me how much yarn will be needed for this specific coaster ?
I would approximate you would use anywhere from 10-12 metres of yarn depending on your hook size and yarn
Tanushree, I used 6 ply cotton yarn, with 3.5 mm hook, and it took about 30 gms. Fir 1 coaster size @7 inches diameter
Gracias excelentemente buen explicado !
Thank you :-)
Love the coaster. What yarn is used.?
I used Sirdar No. 1 chunky :-)
I am trying to teach my friend Karina how to make this and its not going well. She’s very talented, dont get me wrong, I barely know how to crochet. This should be intermediate. Love, Ashton and Karina

That would amazing! I hope you get lots of lovely sales xoxo
@@CrochetandTea wonderful, thank you so much!!
This is a wonderfully approachable tutorial, very enjoyable :) How much wool would you say a placemat would take? I’m planing to make them around 30 centimetres across.
I would say with a standard size ball of DK yarn you should get at least 2 placemats. Hope that helps ☺️
@@CrochetandTea thank you :) while I’m here, do you know any good places to find bamboo yarn?
Hi, I've made my first hexagon coaster from your video now I'm making my 2nd, just asking is there a way to make the corners of the hexagon more pointy? 😅
If you add in an extra chain on the corners that should do it :-)
@@CrochetandTea oh ok thank u so much ☺:) 💖
I find it very rough ton fit in 6 blocks of 2 crochet in a small magic ring as I am using macrame cord. So I did 6 chains instead of 5 chains.
I love it
Thank you :-)
Hello, if we want we can just continue the rows to make it bigger?
Yes you can keep going, just remember the method of adding one increase on every section of ‘pie’ for each new row and it should remain nice and flat.
@@CrochetandTea thanks 😊
what size hook are you using and what type of yarn are you using?
Hi, all the details are in the description :-)
Oh my goodness where did you get your cat tape measurer? So adorable 😻
Great pattern! Working these up to gift to my mother in law ☺️

@@CrochetandTea thank you so much 😊 I can’t wait to learn more from your videos xx
with these double crochets into the double crochets on the third row, are we meant to go through both loops or just the front loop?
All stitches are worked through both loops x
Could you use cotton yarn to make these coasters
Absolutely :-)
Can you make this as a placemats?
You could keep making it larger yes.
Definitely going to buy some cotton yarn, I use cheap acrylic and I find that it’s very fuzzy(?) and not as clean looking. Has anyone else noticed this with acrylic yarn?
I think some variants of acrylic can look nice, sometimes a blend is good too x
Beautiful! Do you have a link to the yarn used?
I’m based in the Uk so I buy mine from a site called Wool Warehouse. I think the colour is called mustard x
