Crochet Your Own Color Facets Coasters

If you’ve been wanting to try intarsia crochet without committing to a big project, these Color Facets Coasters are a fun place to start. You’ll practice clean color changes while making something you can actually use (or gift!). This is a great tutorial for confident beginners and up—especially if you’ve done basic single crochet and want to explore colorwork.

How Color Facets Coasters Use Intarsia Crochet (No Floats!)

What makes intarsia different is that you work separate color sections instead of carrying yarn across the back. That means you can get crisp color blocks without long floats to catch on cups, fingers, or anything else.

In the video, you’ll see how to work the coaster back and forth and manage multiple colors with small yarn bobbins. It’s a simple, practical way to build confidence with tension, tidy color changes, and keeping your edges neat.

Quick Tips for Cleaner Intarsia Crochet Color Changes

• Keep each color on its own small bobbin (or wrap a little yarn into mini bundles) to prevent tangles.
• When switching colors, focus on pulling the new color snug—tight enough for clean corners, but not so tight that the fabric puckers.
• Pause every few rows to untwist your bobbins so your work stays manageable.

I hope this helps you feel excited about trying intarsia—these coasters are the perfect “small win” project. If you make a set, save your favorite color combo so you can repeat it for gifts later!
