This post includes affiliate links.
This collection of 10 crochet pop-up coaster patterns and tutorials is full of fun animal designs and playful characters.
Crochet pop up coasters are such a fun twist on a useful little project. Place a mug on top and watch an animal or character pop up and move, turning an ordinary coaster into something that makes everyone smile.
In this collection, you will find chicken, frog, cat, dog, spider, turtle, lizard, and Halloween designs. Some patterns have a video tutorial, while others have written instructions.
How do pop-up crochet coasters work?
A pop-up crochet coaster sits flat on the table until you place a mug on it. The mug activates the popping effect, so the animal or character rises up and gives the coaster its playful look.
Each crochet pattern creates the effect a little differently, which is why it is worth following the linked instructions for the design you choose. Some are animal coasters, while others, like the Halloween hand, are simply made for a bit of fun.
How to crochet a pop-up coaster
Choose the pop-up coaster pattern you would most like to make, then follow the written pattern or video tutorial linked below. Some designs have free video instructions on YouTube, while others are available as written patterns inside Nicki’s Crochet Club.
Check each pattern before you start for its yarn, hook, and any extra materials. Once you have made one, you may find yourself wanting to make a whole set of popping coasters for your table.
