Autumn is the perfect season for a crochet project that is small enough to finish quickly but useful enough to keep on the table all season. The new Harvest Pumpkin Coaster & Mug Rug Set from Lolo Crochet brings together a textured pumpkin coaster, a friendly ghost coaster, and a striped harvest mug rug in one beginner-friendly English PDF pattern.
It is practical home decor rather than a project that will be stored away after Halloween. The pumpkin and ghost pieces work as coasters, while the rectangular mug rug gives the set a useful everyday function. You can make the full trio from a small amount of worsted yarn and adapt the palette to match your home.
What is included in the PDF?
- A round textured pumpkin coaster with a simple sewn ridge effect and stem.
- A ghost coaster with a charcoal outline, scalloped bottom, and optional embroidered face.
- A striped harvest mug rug with a firm two-round border.
- US crochet terms, gauge, materials, colour plan, row-by-row instructions, and finishing notes.
- Care guidance, grip suggestions, gift presentation ideas, and colour variations.
A useful seasonal project
Small home accessories are satisfying because they can be completed without committing to a large blanket or garment. This set is also easy to personalise. Try pumpkin orange, cream, charcoal, and sage for a traditional autumn table. For a more modern look, combine patina blue with copper. A cream-and-charcoal palette creates a quiet Halloween style that can remain on the table beyond October.
The pumpkin coaster uses simple increases to create a flat circle. The ridges are added afterward with a yarn needle, so you can control how deep or subtle the sections look. The ghost is worked in rows and finished with a scalloped edge. The mug rug uses alternating sc, sc blo, and hdc sections to create gentle texture without complicated colourwork.

Tips for a polished finish
Work with a firm but flexible tension so the coasters protect the table without curling. Block the pieces under a damp cloth and let them dry completely. If you want extra grip, add a few small dots of washable non-slip fabric paint to the underside. The PDF also explains how to change the colours, enlarge the mug rug, and present the pieces as a handmade host or teacher gift.
Whether you are preparing for Halloween, decorating for Thanksgiving, or simply looking for a warm fall accent, this coordinated set gives you three quick makes with one cohesive style.
