I’m sharing a pattern for a simple set of easy crochet Christmas coasters with a storage container. Made from just two skeins of yarn, the container works well on your holiday table or as wrap to make the set giftable! The classic shapes of the Christmas trees work equally well on a modern table or a traditional holiday table.

I have several aunts who always decorate their holiday tables, and I was inspired by them to make this quick set of crochet Christmas coasters. I included the container because it will make it easier to set and clean up the table after a big meal. This set makes a great last-minute gift for a holiday host(ess), or as a neighbor, teacher, or Secret Santa gift for folks who celebrate Christmas.
