The series is still trending all over the world, so we are here again with a pattern of the main symbol from the Stranger Things universe. This time it’s a Demogorgon made as a coaster for your mug.
To make this spooky coaster, you will need a 2 mm crochet hook, any yarn you like in 3 colors (burgundy, black, and white for embroidery), stitch markers, scissors, and a tapestry needle.
The stitches used in this tutorial are simple and beginner-friendly, like single crochet stitches, double crochet stitches, half double crochet stitches, and chain stitches.
You can customize this pattern by using different colors to match your home decor, or make a set of coasters as a thoughtful handmade gift for any Stranger Things fan. It’s perfect for spooky season decor, a themed gift, or a fun addition to your Halloween collection.

Finish here, fasten off and weave in the yarn.
Petals
Use marsala yarn.
Join the yarn in the back loop of rnd 9, we will work in BLO.
Rnd 10: sl st across the entire row (64) (these are the base stitches)
Rnd 11: BLO: work the first petal, ch 1 to rise, make 12 sc (12)
Rnd 12-13: ch 1, turn the work and crochet back, 12 sc (12)
Rnd 14: 1 dec, 8 sc, 1 dec (10)
Rnd 15: 1 ch, turn, 10 sc (10)
Rnd 16: 1 ch, turn, 1 dec, 6 sc, 1 dec (8)
Rnd 17-18: 1 ch, turn, 8 sc (8)
Rnd 19: 1 ch, turn, 1 dec, 4 sc, 1 dec (6)
Rnd 20: 1 ch, turn, 1 dec, 2 sc, 1 dec (4)
Rnd 21-22: 4 sc (4)
Rnd 23: 2 dec (2)
Fasten off and weave in the yarn.
We have finished the first petal. Skip 1 base loop and join the marsala yarn in the next one, repeat the petal following the instructions from rows 11 to 23, when finished fasten off and weave in the yarn. Skip one base loop and attach the marsala yarn to the next.
Repeat until you have 5 petals.
Once the petals are done, we will make the outline with the gray yarn. Join it at any stitch, make sc around the entire flower, including the remaining sl sts, and when finished close with 1sl st and weave in the yarn.
With the White yarn, make stitches (embroidery lines) all over the flower randomly — there is no specific pattern to follow, make as many as you feel necessary.
On the back you can sew a piece of fabric so the embroidery stitches are not visible (optional), or as you embroider, weave the yarn between the stitches.
