Happy February and almost Valentine’s Day friends! I know I say it a lot but, yeah this isn’t my holiday either. I didn’t even have much of a plan for Valentine’s Day this year other than a vague “maybe a love potion?” thought at one point. I wasn’t sure if it was too late for a Valentine’s Day love potion design but you know what, there are no rules! And that’s why I’m releasing the Cute Potions Coasters crochet pattern now. 🙂

I’m such a broken record but I love making designs like this. They’re quick and a fun opportunity to make something fast and satisfying. Not to mention they’re useful for everyday life and they make great components of larger projects. You can make them into bags (like the Field of Flowers Bag or Cat Lady Bag) or a wall hanging (like I did with my Galactic Glow Trio, that’s a post on Instagram), or a scarf (like my Wake the Dead Scarf), or a blanket (like the 2020 C2C Coffee Blanket). Basically, I’m saying if you’re a creative person (and you are if you’re checking out crochet patterns 😀 ) then your options for what to do with coasters like this are endless!

As always, I used Stitch Fiddle to design this coaster and they’re worked from the bottom up in rows. And below you’re going to find some photos of the coaster as I was working up the design. I included them so you can get a bit more insight into how I like to work designs like this. I primarily used intarsia for this design, meaning I used separate ends of yarn for the color sections and didn’t crochet over/ carry the yarn much. There are more than a few ends to work with but, for me at least, it wasn’t a lot of work to weave them all in.

Personally, I don’t know what I’m going to do with these coasters, probably just use them around the house. One can never have too many, ya know? But I also have an idea for a witchy themed bag for later in the year that I need to work on (potion, cat, cauldron, ya know the deal). So this is just the start. And one person’s love potion can be another person’s turn someone into a frog potion. 😀

So… I hope you like this week’s design and enjoy a bit of unconventional holiday fun. I know it’s late and I’m sorry for that but it can still be useful (I hope). And thanks, as always, for visiting my blog. I appreciate all your support. And if you’d like to pick them up, the instructions for this pattern are available in my Ravelry shop.

Please note: I was provided the yarn for this pattern by We Crochet and Lion Brand Yarn for other personal projects, just to make something fun and without compensation. I wasn’t provided the yarn with the expectations of positive or negative reviews but I’ve used both yarns many times over the years and they’re fantastic. A great worsted weight yarns, I’ll probably keep using them for years to come. This post contains affiliate links. If you purchase yarn through any of the links in this post, I may be compensated.

Notes on carrying yarn on the Cute Potions Coasters crochet patterns

For yarn conservation and clarity purposes, the colors are not carried throughout the coasters. Instead I used “bobbins” or individual stands of color all the sections of color through the design..

Below are 2 close up photos of the coaster, showing all the colors being used separately with separate strands of yarn. If you’d like to carry the yarn (tbh I don’t suggest it for the best results), I do highly suggest while carrying the inactive yarn with the RS facing, make sure it’s behind the previous row’s stitches. And when carrying the inactive yarn with the WS facing, make sure it’s in front of the previous row’s stitches. Don’t pull the carried yarn too tight or let it hang loose (try to keep it even with the stitches), as it can distort your square’s final look. Blocking may help even out some distortion or bulkiness of the center that may occur.

For this technique, I prefer to use individual strands for all the colors, even the main color. I change colors on the final pull through of the sc and drop the inactive yarn down the WS and pick it back up as I work the rows back and forth. It can be a bit challenging to do this with so many colors but this is a nice small project and a good opportunity to practice 😀 It was a lot when I worked on the first coaster but by the 5th it wasn’t so bad.

Remember: Your coasters may not be perfectly even when you’re done, but the border and blocking (which is highly suggested) can help this.

Potion 1 Graph

Graph Key: Color A is gray, color B is black, color C is pink, color D is white, and color E is brown. Looking for written instructions, buy them on Ravelry here.

For the squares: begin with a ch 20 in color A, turn, and start in the 2nd ch from the hook. Each row begins with a “ch 1, turn” and all st counts are 19 sc.

Border
With the RS facing you, join color B in the first st on the other side of Row 1 of the coaster. 
Row 1: B: Ch 1, sc into the next 19 sts, ch 1 at the corner and rotate a quarter turn, sc into the next 20 row ends, ch 1 at the corner and rotate a quarter turn, sc into the next 19 sts of Row 20, ch 1 at the corner and rotate a quarter turn, sc down the next 20 row ends, ch 1 at the corner, join with a slip st – 78 sc, 4 ch-1 spaces
Fasten off, weave in your ends. Block the coaster so it measures 4.1” x 4.6”.
