40 Animal Coasters You Can Actually Finish — and Actually Sell
The Mug Menagerie is a complete 224-page crochet coaster book — 40 patterns across 6 collections (Farmhouse Friends, Woodland Folk, The Deep End, Garden Party, House Pets and The Odd Ones), built on a Six Skills system so the first six pieces you make teach you everything the other 34 need. Every pattern includes the real photo of the finished piece, written instructions with the Count-Check Method, a symbol diagram, and process photos at the four points where people usually get stuck.
If any of this sounds like you…
You've got a few half-finished crochet projects in a bag somewhere and you can't quite remember why you started them.
You want to make something that isn't another scarf — but most patterns online are either too advanced or painfully vague.
You've bought "quick and easy" patterns before that turned into an afternoon of undoing rows.
You'd love to give handmade gifts, but nothing you've made yet feels finished enough to hand over.
You want a hobby that's actually fun — not one more thing that feels like homework.
Here's what changes
You open a pattern, pick up your hook, and know exactly which stitch comes next.
You finish an entire coaster in one sitting — not "eventually".
Every animal has its own quirky personality — this isn't another plain granny square.
Gag gifts, hostess gifts, "just because" gifts — done in an evening, no wrapping-paper panic.
Twenty relaxed minutes with yarn instead of a screen.
Over 1,700 crafters have already made theirs.
One payment. Instant download. Yours to keep and re-print forever.
✦ How it works ✦
Start creating in three steps
No classes, no schedule, nothing to wait on in the post. You can be picking up your hook tonight.
1
Step 1 · pick your yarn
Choose your animal
Open the bundle and pick a character — the lizard, the chicken, or one of ten more. Every pattern is rated Easy+, so you always know what you're starting.
2
Step 2 · the first row
Follow the stitch-by-stitch guide
Work through the clear, photo-guided instructions one row at a time, with the full stitch and abbreviations glossary open beside you.
3
Step 3 · the last stitch
Finish it and set it on the table
Weave in your last end, give it a quick block, and it's ready to hold a coffee cup — or wrap up as a gift.
What The Mug Menagerie actually is
40 printable crochet coaster patterns across 6 themed collections — Farmhouse Friends, Woodland Folk, The Deep End, Garden Party, House Pets and The Odd Ones (yes, including a lizard with a bellota — that one's the designer's own signature piece).
The Six Warm-Ups — the first 6 animals, ordered by technique instead of looks, so by the time you finish the sixth you can make any of the other 34.
4 pages per pattern — the real finished photo with the character's name, personality, knit time and yarn used; written instructions with stitch counts and check boxes; a symbol diagram for non-readers of written patterns; and process photos at the exact 4 points where people usually get stuck.
The Color Cookbook — 24 tested color combinations by style (Farmhouse, Coastal, Boho, Nordic, Kids, Christmas), with exact brand and shade numbers.
Sizes & Uses — the same animal as a coaster, mug rug, table runner appliqué, or patch for a hat, bag or blanket, with hook and yarn conversions for each size.
Your License — permission, in plain signed language, to sell finished pieces you make in small quantities.
3 bonuses + 2 gifts included free with today's order — the full list is further down this page.
100% digital, lifetime access — phone, tablet or computer, for a single payment.

What's inside the book
Forty animal characters across six collections, so there's always a new face to make — whatever the occasion.
Farmhouse Friends, Woodland Folk, The Deep End, Garden Party, House Pets and The Odd Ones — a character for every occasion.
4 pages per pattern
Real finished photo, written instructions with the Count-Check Method, a symbol diagram, and process photos at every point where it usually goes wrong.
The Six Skills system
Six warm-up animals, each teaching one core technique. Finish those and you can make any of the other 34.
The Color Cookbook
24 tested color combinations by style — Farmhouse, Coastal, Boho, Nordic, Kids, Christmas — with the exact yarn brand and shade.
Sizes & Uses
The same animal as a coaster, mug rug, table runner or appliqué — with hook and yarn conversions for each size.
A license to sell
Signed permission, in plain language, to sell finished pieces you make in small quantities — at fairs, on Etsy, or to friends.
✦ Built on the classics ✦
The same handful of stitches sits behind every crochet piece you've ever admired
Single crochetDouble crochetMagic ringSlip stitch
Learn those four — plus increasing, color changes, invisible finishing and blocking, The Six Skills — and all 40 patterns are already within reach.
✦ Why this works ✦
The pattern does the deciding for you
Most people don't quit crochet because it's hard. They quit because of the blank pattern.
1
The Count-Check Method keeps you on track
Every row has a stitch count and a checkbox, explained in one page up front — so you know the instant a row goes wrong, instead of three rows later.
2
The Six Skills carry you through all 40
The first six patterns are ordered by technique, not looks. Finish those and every remaining animal is just a new combination of skills you already have.
3
Process photos catch you at the 4 points where it usually breaks
Curled edges, a hexagon instead of a circle, a visible center hole — each failure point gets its own photo and fix, right where you'd hit it.
Follow the stitch. The coaster takes care of itself.
"I don't consider myself a crafty person. But I followed the pattern and ended up with a coaster that actually looks like the picture."

Key benefits
Instant access: everything lands in your inbox the moment you check out
Open it on your phone, tablet or computer, whenever you like
Downloadable, printable files you can reprint as often as you like — the whole bundle stays yours
One single payment — no monthly fees, no required upsells
Lifetime access to everything inside, plus future pattern additions
Buy with zero risk 🛡️
Download the bundle, print a pattern and try it with your own hook and yarn. If it isn't for you, email us within 7 days and we'll refund every cent — no forms, no awkward questions.
"Why is it this affordable?"
A fair question — here's the honest answer.
Because it's 100% digital: there's nothing to print, pack or post, so one more person joining costs us almost nothing.
And because our aim is to put this in as many hands as possible — a $19.99 book people actually use beats a $150 one that sits unopened.
You might be thinking…
"I'm not creative enough for this."
Nothing in the bundle asks you to invent anything. You follow the written pattern and build on top of the photo, row by row.
"I don't own any special crochet tools."
A hook and some yarn will do. The included Materials & Tools list tells you exactly what to buy and what you can skip.
"I'll buy it and never open it."
Start with the smallest pattern in the bundle — one coaster, one evening. Almost nobody stops there.
"Isn't this just a pattern I could find free online?"
This is an original, photo-guided pattern set with a full stitch glossary and difficulty ratings — not a blurry forum post you have to guess your way through.
"Am I actually allowed to sell what I make?"
Yes. Your License is included, in plain signed language — sell finished pieces you make in small quantities, at fairs, on Etsy, or to friends. The Fair Table Kit gives you the pricing, templates and packaging to do it properly.
Frequently asked questions
Is this suitable for complete beginners?
Yes. Every pattern is rated Easy+, and the included stitch glossary covers the basics before you make anything.
Do I need advanced crochet skills?
No. If you can chain, single crochet and follow a photo, you can make every design in this bundle.
What materials do I need?
Worsted-weight cotton yarn, a crochet hook and a yarn needle. The included Materials & Tools list tells you exactly what to get.
Is this a physical product?
No — it's a 224-page digital book. You get instant access after checkout and print the patterns at home, or use the Print & Go Edition to print without a screen.
Can I sell the coasters I make from these patterns?
Yes — Your License (included) gives you signed permission to sell finished pieces you make in small quantities. What you can't do is resell or redistribute the patterns, the PDF, or the instructions themselves.
Does it use US or UK crochet terms?
Both — Part 0 includes a full US↔UK stitch glossary, so it doesn't matter which one you learned.
How long do I have access?
For life. One payment, and you can re-download and reprint as often as you like.
Which payment methods do you accept?
All major cards through Shopify (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and PayPal.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. If you're not satisfied, we refund 100% within 7 days.
P.S. — The $19.99 launch price and the free bonuses + gifts are tied to the timer at the top of this page. When it ends, the book returns to full price and the bonuses become paid add-ons.
P.P.S. — You have seven days to try all 40 patterns and decide. If it isn't what you hoped for, one email and you get your money back — and you'll still have spent an evening making something.
