In the previous tutorial, you learned how to crochet a 2-in-1 evil eyeball pouch for Halloween! Today, continuing the “Halloween evil eye accessories” series, you will learn how to crochet this round evil eyeball coaster with UNIQUE beautiful mesh shell edging. Unlike last time, we are crocheting a circular evil eye with stripes of black, white, light blue, and dark blue. The mesh shell edging is the NEWEST addition to this eyeball coaster, which also makes it stand out from other designs.

You can also crochet this evil eyeball coaster as a dining table pad or crochet it without the edging to make an evil eye granny square. With that evil eye square, you can assemble Halloween bags, blankets, and even cardigans.

You can crochet this evil coaster in less than 30 minutes, making a crochet circle of just 5 rounds. By changing the colors using the standard method, you will get the same iconic crochet eyeball look. You can also turn your crochet coaster into a round evil eye bag by crocheting two separate pieces and seaming them. Anyway, customization is up to you; below will be the full pattern to crochet this beautiful eyeball coaster for Halloween.
