Crochet Fried Egg Coaster Pattern
Round 1 – Make the Egg Yolk
Using yellow yarn:
Start with a magic ring.
Chain 2, then crochet 12 double crochet stitches into the ring. Pull the ring closed tightly and join with a slip stitch into the first double crochet.
You should now have 12 stitches forming the center yolk.
Round 2 – Grow the Yolk Circle
Chain 2.
Work 2 double crochet stitches into every stitch around the circle to create a smooth round shape.
Join with a slip stitch and fasten off the yellow yarn.
Your yolk section should now contain 24 stitches.
Round 3 – Start the Egg White
Attach the white yarn anywhere around the yellow circle.
This round creates the soft uneven edges that make the coaster look like a real fried egg.
Work the following stitch pattern around:
- single crochet increase
- single crochet
- half double crochet increase
- half double crochet
- repeat combinations of double crochet and triple crochet stitches to build the curved organic shape
The mix of taller and shorter stitches helps create that natural fried egg appearance.
Join the round with a slip stitch.
Round 4 – Shape the Wavy Edges
Continue working with white yarn.
In this round you’ll combine:
- single crochet stitches
- half double crochet stitches
- double crochet increases
- triple crochet increases
The changing stitch heights create soft ripples around the outer edge so the coaster looks more realistic and playful.
Once the round is complete, join with a slip stitch and fasten off the yarn.
Your finished coaster should have a softly ruffled egg white border surrounding the bright yellow center.
Finishing the Coaster
Use a tapestry needle to weave in all loose yarn ends neatly.
If your coaster curls slightly, lightly block it by shaping it flat with a little moisture and letting it dry completely.
Helpful Tips
- Cotton yarn works best because it absorbs heat and helps the coaster keep its shape.
- Keep your stitches relaxed during the white section so the coaster lays flat naturally.
- Make several coasters in matching sets for a fun brunch-inspired collection.
- Add slightly uneven edges for a more realistic fried egg look.
Finished Look
Your completed crochet egg coaster will feature:
- A bold sunny yolk center
- Soft textured egg white edges
- A fun realistic breakfast-inspired design
- Durable cotton texture perfect for mugs and cups
This quick crochet project is adorable for kitchens, cafes, gifts, or farmhouse-style home decor.
Happy Crocheting!
