The finished cherry pie coaster stands out with its inviting round shape and realistic lattice top. A bright red “filling” sits beneath scalloped tan edges that mimic a flaky crust, complete with surface-crocheted lattice work for authenticity. Soft yet sturdy texture comes from layers joined together, creating a lightly puffed coaster that helps absorb moisture from drinks.

Colors can be varied for personalized fruit fillings, and the crust shade is up to each crocheter’s taste. Imperfections in the lattice work are actually encouraged, mimicking the appearance of a homemade pie. The project is constructed with increases, single crochet, and half double crochet stitches, along with clever surface slip stitching for the lattice detail. Basic technique is key—starting with a magic ring and working in rounds, changing colors cleanly for a seamless transition.

Bottom layer is a plain circle in the “crust” color.
Increases alternate staggered and standard for a round, even shape.
Ends are left inside before joining for extra “puff” and absorbency.
US crochet terminology is used.

Create a loop, work first round of stitches into the center, then pull tight to close the ring.

The Pattern!

You will make two circles:
Bottom (Crust) – all in crust color
Top (Filling + Crust) – begin with filling color, switch to crust color for the edge and lattice

Circle Base (Make 2: one for bottom, one for top)

Rnd 1:

With filling (or crust) color, MR, ch 1, 6 sc in ring. Pull tight, sl st to first sc. (6)
Save

Rnd 2:

Ch 1, 2 sc in each st around, sl st to first sc. (12)

Rnd 3:

Ch 1, sc in next st, 2 sc in next st; repeat around, sl st to first sc. (18)

Rnd 4:

Ch 1, sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, sc in next st; repeat around, sl st to first sc. (24)

Rnd 5:

Ch 1, sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st; repeat around, sl st to first sc. (30)
Save

Rnd 6:

Ch 1, sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st, sc in next 2 sts; repeat around, sl st to first sc. (36)

Rnd 7:

Ch 1, sc in next 5 sts, 2 sc in next st; repeat around, sl st to first sc. (42)

SWITCH TO CRUST COLOR FOR TOP PIECE (see below)

Rnd 8:

Join crust color in next sl st (see tip below). Sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st, sc in next 3 sts; repeat around, sl st to first sc. (48)

The staggered increase rounds keep your coaster perfectly round and prevent corners.

Crust (Scallop Edge, for top only)

Crust Rnd:

Skip 1 st, 5 hdc in next st, skip 1 st, sl st in next st; repeat around. You’ll get 12 scallops.
Fasten off, leaving a long tail for assembly.
Save

Bottom Circle:

Make as above but work all rows in crust color, ending after Rnd 8. No scallops needed.

Lattice Surface Crochet

Using crust color (or another “crust” yarn), choose a point on the top piece.
Pull loop through (front), slip stitch across to form a straight or gently wavy line.
Repeat 3–4 times vertically and 3–4 times horizontally, weaving under and over for a “real” pie look.
Leave tails for secure weaving later.
Save

Don’t worry if your lattice isn’t perfect. Pie crust is always a bit rustic!

At the end of this section, you will have a “filling” disc with a scalloped pie crust and a woven, realistic lattice pattern, and a plain crust “back” disc.

Assembly & Finishing

Lay the pie top and bottom WS together (lattice facing out).
Use long crust tail to single crochet through both discs around the pie.
Work into each stitch across both layers for a neat, seamless edge.
At end, join to first stitch with sl st and complete a clean finish (see Special Stitches above).
Weave in all yarn ends into the sandwich between layers (they add cushion and won’t show).
Gently shape your coaster into a smooth circle.
If needed, lightly steam or block for flatness.

Solution of Problem

Problem: Coaster won’t lie flat (is wavy/buckled).
Solution: Block or lightly steam flat. Adjust tension or stitch count if needed.
Problem: Lattice work is loose.
Solution: Gently weave lattice ends in on the wrong side, and tighten slip stitches as you go.
Problem: Seam between top/bottom is visible.
Solution: Work through both loops of both discs evenly, keeping a tidy, firm tension.

What you can make by using these stitches

Realistic fruit-pie coasters in any color ("flavor")
Play desserts for kids or doll tea sets
Pie slice garlands for Thanksgiving décor
Hot pads (make larger, add filling)
Wall art (frame a whole rainbow pie sampler!)

Now you have a delightful, soft, and practical cherry (or ANY!) pie coaster! Repeat in every "flavor" for a set, or gift to baker friends. Don’t forget: perfection isn’t the point—just like real pie, the beauty is in the handmade details. Happy Crocheting! ☺
