Easy Project for Beginners
The Hexi Puff Coasters are a wonderful project for beginners to try. The pattern uses some basic stitches but helps beginners stretch their skills by adding the fun puff stitch, working the magic ring, and adding a border.
To make the Hexi Puff Coasters, you’ll start with a magic ring, which is a great technique to prevent holes in the center of your work when working in flat rounds. It can be a bit tricky to make at first, but it’s a must-have technique once you really get into crochet.
From there, puff stitches are strategically placed to make your coaster grow evenly. A single crochet border is worked around the entire piece, and you’ll finish with a handy hang tag so you can display these in your kitchen or dining room.
What’s the Perfect Yarn for Hexi Puff Coasters?
For such a simple, project, nearly any yarn goes. Since it’s springtime, I like to lighten things up, and CotLin from WeCrochet is the perfect lightweight yarn for the Hexi Puff Coasters.
CotLin is a DK weight blend of cotton and linen. Durable but soft, CotLin is a great choice for any home decor or summer garment projects. I don’t often reach for plant-based fibers in my crochet but CotLin is amazing to crochet with and comeS in a gorgeous range of colors.

WeCrochet offers a Modern Desert color pack that I fell in love with and added the Mustard Seed for some depth. Check out the full range of CotLin colors here.
If you happen to be stash busting (which I *highly* recommend), the Hexi Puff Coaster patterns lends itself to just about any yarn. For DK weight yarn, a 5mm hook is best. If you want to size up to worsted weight, try a 5.5mm or 6mm hook to keep the open-air feel of the original pattern.

These are beautiful, and your colors are gorgeous. I think the hanging loop is genius—why has no one thought to put it on a coaster before? It gives me so many options for storage and display I’d never considered. I also like the idea of making these without the loop as motifs and assembling them into an afghan.
Thanks so much for checking out the pattern. I knew I had to add the hang tag, and it makes these so pretty to display. And the afghan idea sounds like a lot of fun 🙂
This is an adorable pattern. I’m just getting back into crochet but I like the challenge of this pattern. Thank You !
I am looking forward to work this Puff st pattern to add it to my projects . I have been crocheting all day long since we got put on locked down LOL.
These are amazing! Thank you for sharing!
you did it again!! Thank you for this amazing pattern so beautiful and introducing mt to this new yarn… cannot wait to purchase, create and enjoy… You are so talented!!! Thanks again…Great health and hugs!!!
You’re too kind, Gina! Thanks so much for checking out the post. I hope you’ll make some coasters and share some photos with me 🙂
These are gorgeous and work up so fast! I already made a few sets! Would I be able to use this pattern on Etsy?
Hi! I’m really glad you like the pattern 🙂 You’re welcome to see anything you make from my patterns, just not the patterns themselves.
These are so pretty! I just made some for my mom for her birthday and she loved them! Such a quick and lovely pattern. Thank you!!
That’s so awesome to hear! I’m glad you enjoyed the pattern and I love that your mom enjoyed her gift 🙂
I really like the pattern! It’s so cute and it’s a fun way to play around with puff stitches, which I’m still not used to. Thank you for this ^_^
Thanks for sharing this pattern!!! So cute! What’s the finished size on this supposed to be? I made one today, and it turned out bigger than I expected. I was wondering if I wasn’t making the stitches tight enough or something.
Hi! I’m so glad you checked out the pattern. My finished coasters were 6″ when measured from one flat edge to the other across the middle.
Hi Ms. Toni,
I am so glad I found this pattern!! I have been making dishcloths and potholders for my Hope Chest; I wanted something a little different to make, then came across this pattern and absolutely love it!
This pattern is really neat and quick to make. This was my first time doing the Puff stitch. I made two and put 8 rounds on each of them then crocheted them together for a hot pad/potholder.
I love the pattern, but I don’t find it “beginner friendly”. I’ve done several face scrubbies in a similar pattern, but no matter how hard I tried, I just could not follow this pattern. I tried 4 times, and each time ripped it out on the second round. Maybe it’s the way it’s explained or maybe a video tutorial would be helpful. It’s a shame, because I’d really like to make these.
Hi! Sorry this pattern is a little tricky for you. There is a video tutorial linked in the pattern. Might be worth taking a look at that to help 🙂
As soon as I saw the coaster pattern I immediately got out my red, green and white yarn and started making Christmas coasters. Thank you for sharing this pattern. I really liked how easy it was. You are one of my favorite designers. Jackie Campbell
I am having trouble figuring out what I’m doing wrong. The pattern looks great, but it keeps coming out as a circle not a hexagon 🙁 Any ideas?
Hi! Are you increasing in the increases? If so, it should turn out to be a hexagon. It might help to follow the video 🙂
