by Making a beautiful crochet flower coaster is a fun and creative project that’s great for both beginners and experienced crocheters. Here’s a simple guide for a crochet flower coaster that looks delicate and decorative:
🌸 Materials Needed:
- Cotton yarn (medium weight, any color you like for petals and center)
- Crochet hook (usually 3.5mm–4.5mm for medium yarn)
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
🌼 Easy Flower Coaster Pattern (in rounds):
Abbreviations (US Terms):
- MR – Magic Ring
- ch – Chain
- sl st – Slip Stitch
- sc – Single Crochet
- hdc – Half Double Crochet
- dc – Double Crochet
- tr – Treble Crochet
- st – Stitch
Step-by-Step Instructions:
🌻 Center of Flower (Round 1):
- Make a magic ring.
- Work 12 sc into the ring.
- Pull tight, sl st into first sc to join.
➡️ (12 sts total)
🌸 Petals (Round 2):
- [ch 2, 1 dc, 1 tr, 1 dc, ch 2, sl st in next st] – repeat in each stitch around.
- You’ll make 12 petals.
- Fasten off petal color.
🍃 Coaster Base (Optional Green Leaf Round):
Switch to green or base color.
Round 3 (behind petals):
- Working in the back loops of Round 1, sc in each stitch around to form a flat circle.
- You can increase each round slightly to flatten the back as a coaster.
- Example: Next round, sc in next st, 2 sc in next repeat around.
You can build up 1-2 more rounds in this way to expand the base.
✂️ Finishing:
- Weave in all loose ends using the yarn needle.
- Block the coaster if needed to flatten it out (light steam or press with a damp cloth).
🌈 Optional Ideas:
- Use variegated yarn for a watercolor effect.
- Add a contrasting border using a crab stitch (reverse sc).
- Make a set in different flower colors.
