Crochet Coaster Holder for Stanley Cups are a stylish and practical way to protect your surfaces while adding a touch of handmade charm to your drinkware. These holders are not only functional but also allow you to express your creativity through crochet. Whether you’re making them for yourself or as a gift, a crochet coaster holder is a wonderful project that can be customized to match your personal style or home decor.
If there is one thing that I absolutely love as a crocheter, it’s taking something practical and turning it into something adorably handmade. And that is exactly what this Crochet Coaster Holder for Stanley Cups is all about. You know how Stanley cups have become such a trend—everyone takes them everywhere: to work, to the gym, on car rides, on walks, everywhere. And as much as we love them, they do tend to sweat, drip, and leave water rings on every flat surface imaginable. So what’s a creative maker to do? Crochet a cute, functional, stylish coaster that attaches to the cup itself, of course!
This project is such a fun blend of useful and pretty. You’re not just making a coaster—you’re making an accessory. Something that hugs the bottom of your cup and catches condensation while adding a touch of personality. And you know what the best part is? You can match it to your outfit, your cup color, your bag, your mood—whatever you like. Yarn makes everything customizable.
One of the reasons I adore this Crochet Coaster Holder for Stanley Cups is that it solves a problem we’ve all had. Stanley cups are large and when filled with ice, they develop condensation that runs down the sides. Before you know it—your desk, your table, your notebook, or even your pants are damp. Not fun. So instead of running around with napkins or leaving random paper towels under your cup, this crocheted coaster becomes a built-in protector.
The coaster fits snugly at the bottom of the cup and has just enough stretch to stay secure while still being easy to remove when washing. It sits flush, creating a little “basket” shape that gently hugs the base. Plus, the yarn acts like a natural absorbent material for any moisture.
This is the beauty of crochet: thoughtful, handmade design meeting everyday life.

Crocheting a coaster holder for Stanley cups is a rewarding project that combines practicality with creativity.

Crochet Coaster Holder for Stanley Cups – Detailed Recipe
When I made mine, I chose cotton yarn, and I cannot recommend that enough. Cotton is absorbent, easy to wash, and holds its shape well. Acrylic might work too, but cotton helps catch moisture and keeps your coaster looking neat longer. You definitely want something that won’t stretch out too much, especially if you’re carrying your cup around all day. No matter your aesthetic, this coaster holder can match it. And you know nothing feels better than showing someone something cute and saying, “Oh, I made it!”
Something I always say about crochet is that it’s not just about making things. It’s about putting happiness into the world. Handcrafted items carry warmth—your warmth. This coaster holder is a small project, but it sparks joy every time you look at it or use it.
You’ll smile every time you place your cup down and the table stays dry.
You’ll smile when someone says, “Oh my gosh, where did you get that??”
You’ll smile especially when you reply, “I made it!”
I think that’s the magic of handmade life. Everyday objects become beautiful.

Crochet Coaster Holder for Stanley Cups. Instructions:
- Base:
- Start with a magic ring.
- Round 1: Chain 2 (counts as the first double crochet), and make 11 more double crochets into the ring. Slip stitch to join. (12 stitches)
- Round 2: Chain 2, make 2 double crochets in each stitch around. Slip stitch to join. (24 stitches)
- Round 3: Chain 2, 1 double crochet in the next stitch, 2 double crochets in the next. Repeat from * to * around. Slip stitch to join. (36 stitches)
- Continue increasing until the base fits the bottom of your Stanley cup. The diameter should match the cup’s bottom.
- Sides:
- Once the base is complete, chain 1 and work a single crochet in each stitch around. This will start to create the sides.
- Continue working in rounds, without increasing, until the sides are tall enough to hold the bottom part of the Stanley cup securely.
- Top Edge:
- For the final round, work a slip stitch in each stitch around to create a firm edge.
- Fasten off and weave in the ends with a tapestry needle.
- Optional Handle:
- If you’d like to add a handle, chain a length that fits comfortably between your fingers and the cup. Attach it to two points on the top edge of the holder with slip stitches or single crochet.
- Finishing:
- Weave in all ends securely. Block the coaster holder to shape it properly if needed.
Crochet has a wonderful way of slowing life down—not in a boring way, but in a peaceful way. Stitch by stitch, we put time, patience, care, and heart into what we create. And when that creation becomes part of your daily coffee, tea, or hydration routine, it just makes those everyday moments feel softer, cozier, calmer. So yes, the Crochet Coaster Holder for Stanley Cups is practical. Yes, it prevents messy puddles. Yes, it keeps surfaces clean. But more than that—it adds comfort and personality to something we use constantly. And that is exactly why I love it.
