Free Dog/Cat Butt Coaster Pattern

Hello again! I am here once more to bring you a pattern I just created for a Dog (or Cat) Butt Coaster pattern! I won't lie here. I saw one of these on Instagram and loved it, it's so funny. (Credit to Leslie here. You can buy her version on her site!) There are a few patterns on ravelry for cat butt coasters (I prefer cats, but why no Dog love on this one?), one of which is free. Honestly, I thought they could all use some improvement. I checked out the free one to see how it was done (wasn't impressed [hey, I'm picky]) and then tried my own method. I am very pleased with the results. Behold! (Favorite this pattern on Ravelry!) This is a link to a pdf file that is printer friendly - no pictures. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9BLUR8FAe8BbVJzRm5aUzVTVjA/view?usp=drivesdk&resourcekey=0-REQuy-uIXc3YaThVkoMNSg With no further ado, here is how I did it. The following pattern is in US terms. Everyone loves a pattern with plenty of pictures, right? I hope so, cause I took plenty. Materials: G/6 - 4.25mm Hook (Size/gauge is not extremely important) 100% Cotton Yarn (Colors: Pink, and your choice for fur) Needle to sew in ends, and scissors to cut of course. Finished size: About 3.5 inches from side to side (a little less depending where you measure) 6" from top of tail to bottom of feet Stitches/Skills used: Magic Ring (Optional) Invisible Join (Explained + pictures) Chain Slip Stitch Single Crochet (SC) Half Double Crochet (HDC) Double Crochet (DC) Note for clarity: SC 4 = SC into each of the next 4 sts. 2SC = Do 2 SC into same stitch.

Round 1: Using Pink. Magic Ring (or Ch2 and work into first Ch stitch) 6 SC. Invisible Join: Cut yarn leaving tail and pull the yarn through. Using a needle, pass yarn from the front toward back of the first SC of the round. Pass yarn into top of the last SC you made. Pull only tight enough to blend and create your 7th SC. You should have 7 SC. (See next 5 pictures!) Alternately, you can just do 7SC and slip to join, then finish off.

This is a view of the back of the work. Needle enters top of stitch.

The needle is inserted simply to show the 7th stitch we created.

Completed, 7 SC.

I apologize now for pictures that are sideways. Forgot to fix that before I uploaded all of them! Round 2! Create a slip stitch with your second color. I do not have a tutorial for this, but they are easy to find. Join anywhere to your work with a slip stitch.

insert hook

After slip stitch. Pull your slip knot tight for the best look.

Pull that slip knot tight so it looks good. (Still Round 2) Ch 1. Do not turn your work throughout the pattern! Working into the same stitch you joined to, 2SC into each stitch. Slip sts to join. (14sts total) I split the first 2SC between the start and end of round, but you don't have to do that!!!

I did one SC in the beginning and my second SC into the same stitch was at end of round!!!

End Round 2.

Round 5 complete.

Round 3. (Work into sts you joined to) Ch 1. *SC, 2SC* repeat around to end. Slip Sts to join. (21 sts total) Round 4. Ch 1. *SC 2, 2SC* repeat around to end. Slip Sts to join. (28 sts total) Round 5. Ch 1. *SC 3, 2SC* repeat around to end. Slip Sts to join. (35 sts total)

Round 6. Ch 8. In second ch from hook, SC. HDC, DC 5.

Work into the bump on the back of the CH for best look.

Tail completed. Hook shows where to work next SC.

Round 6 continued: Skip 2 stitches, which includes the stitch you joined to, and SC into the 3rd stitch. (Picture shows slip stitch - I have changed the pattern and no new picture) SC 1. (see picture) 2SC, SC 4, 2SC, SC 4, 2SC, SC 1.

Round 6 continued: Ch 4. In 3rd ch from hook, DC. DC in next ch. DC in side of your last SC. (See next 3 pictures!)

My fingers showing the side of the SC stitch.

Hook inserted into side of SC stitch.

Third DC completed!

Round 6 continued: Skip 2 stitches. SC into the third stitch. 2SC, SC 1. Ch 4. DC into 3rd ch, as before. DC into next ch. DC into side of your last SC. Skip 2 stitches. SC into the third stitch. 2SC.

Two legs complete.

Slip into the slip stitch, right where my fingernail is.

Round 6 continued: *SC 4, 2SC* twice. Slip stitch into the slip stitch that started the round! See picture.

Just showing where I wove my end in behind the tail.

Weave in your ends and you are finished! This picture shows where I weaved in. It hides well there. Of course, don't cut it here, keep weaving some more. With the pink tails, honestly, I did a square knot. I figured a knot was not a big deal on the bottom of a coaster. (Square knot: cross tails, right over left and knot. Then cross tails, left over right and knot tight. Or vice versa. I'm sure you can find it on youtube!)

There you have it. A dog, or cat, butt coaster. I would maybe chain a couple more and do just DC down the tail for a cat coaster, so it's more round like the feet instead of almost pointy. If you find any mistakes or need me to be less confusing (sorry if I'm confusing) do not hesitate to contact me! Enjoy! Posted by Sally at 3:13 PM

How do you do the multi-colored one? I also saw one that's calico and one that's a black/brown. Do you buy special yarn? Or do you just intermingle colors?

  The yarn I used came with the multiple colors. Variegated is the term for it. Or Ombre. I think mine was Peaches and Cream "Natural Ombre". It's 100% cotton.

  You could use two strands of yarn but it wouldn't look exactly the same as mine. Two strands of sport weight is like a strand of worsted weight. Using two strands of worsted would probably be difficult unless you use a bigger hook, but then the size of your coaster would be much much bigger.

I have some old sandstone coasters that look nasty. I wonder if I could make a set of these, slip in the sandstone coasters then sew up the sides. Having tail and feet only on one side. (The bottom)

Hello!! I'll admit this is my first foray into crocheting in the round and I'm having a problem. My round keeps curling up as though I'm making a hat and not a coaster. I have unraveled several time and diligently counted the stitches and I cannot find the problem....any suggestions? I love the pattern and would love to be able to complete one of them!

1. SallyJanuary 6, 2016 at 1:02 PM
  All I can wondernis that maybe your stitches are too tight? It might even just be the first two or three rounds. Try loosening up or even using a larger hook if you need to. After a few rounds switch to the smaller one. It took me a while to loosen up so it sits flat when I learned to work in the round!

I used worsted weight, yes. Cotton is recommended for its absorbancy. And if you alter it for a hot pad, cotton is again best as acrylic can melt under heat.

  You could certainly try a larger hook. It would be a bit think and 'holey'... Maybe double strand the yarn? But that might be too big.I should revisit this as There has been more than one looking to make a hot pad.My apologies to everyone for basically abandoning this short lived blog! Lol

1. SallyJanuary 23, 2018 at 12:19 PM
  There is a small gap there. I can't think of a better method. The looser the stitching, the bigger it may seem. You could do a slip stitch instead of sc when attaching, but that has pros and cons. It is a personal choice!

Hi! Thanks so much for making and sharing this pattern!If I can give you a little tip: if you increase in different stitches instead of the same stitch across the rows, you will get more of a circle than a hexagon. :)(I don't know if someone else already told you this or if you learned it already since posting this pattern, but there ya go.)

Cat wallpapers offer a deeply personal form of expression. People choose cat images that match their energy—serene, playful, curious, or mysterious. Some even create wallpapers featuring their own cats using photo editing tools. In doing so, the background becomes more than decoration—it becomes part of the user’s digital identity.https://colornjoy.com/blogs/cat-wallpapers

Team-focused designs highlight NBA franchises like the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, Boston Celtics, or Chicago Bulls. These wallpapers often incorporate team logos, signature colors, and iconic courts to showcase loyalty and pride. Some wallpapers go a step further with creative edits—players emerging from shadows, surrounded by flames, lightning, or shattered glass effects that symbolize power and resilience.https://colornjoy.com/
