Crochet Pattern:

Note: This pattern uses US crochet terminology.

Step 1: Making the Foundation Chain

  • Start with a slipknot and chain 12.

Step 2: Creating the Leaf Shape

  • Row 1: In the 2nd chain from the hook, make a single crochet (sc). In the next chain, make a half double crochet (hdc). In the next 2 chains, make a double crochet (dc) in each. In the next 2 chains, make a triple crochet (tr) in each. In the next chain, make 2 tr. In the next chain, make 2 dc. In the next chain, make 1 hdc. In the last chain, make 1 sc. Now, work on the other side of the chain.
  • In the next chain, make 1 sc. In the next chain, make 1 hdc. In the next 2 chains, make 2 dc in each. In the next 2 chains, make 2 tr in each. In the next chain, make 1 tr. In the next chain, make 1 dc. In the last chain, make 1 hdc.
  • Slip stitch into the first sc to close the round.

Step 3: Shaping the Leaf

  • Row 2: Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch), make 1 sc in the same stitch as the chain. Continue making 1 sc in each stitch around. Slip stitch into the first sc to close the round.

Step 4: Finishing

  • Fasten off, leaving a tail for weaving in the ends. Weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.

Your Monstera leaf coaster is now complete! You can make several of these in different shades of green to create a stunning set for your table.
