🧶 Materials Needed

• Yarn: Two colors (e.g. white + green, or white + yellow). Use medium weight (No.3 or 4).
• Hook: 3.0 mm – 3.5 mm crochet hook.
• Tools: Scissors and a yarn needle.

🌼 Step-by-Step Crochet Instructions

Step 1 – Make the Magic Ring

1. Wrap the yarn around two fingers to make a loop.
2. Insert your hook under the first loop, grab the working yarn, and pull through.
3. Chain 1 to secure the ring.

---

Step 2 – Round 1 (Center Circle)

1. Chain 2 (this counts as your first double crochet).
2. Make 11 more double crochets (dc) into the magic ring (total 12 dc).
3. Pull the yarn tail to tighten the ring.
4. Join to the top of the first dc using a slip stitch (sl st).
5. Cut the yarn and pull through (you’ll change to the second color next).

🧩 Tip: Keep stitches even — this round forms the flat center.

Step 3 – Round 2 (Flower Petals)

Now attach the second color (e.g. green).

1. Insert the hook in any stitch of Round 1 and attach the yarn with a slip stitch.
2. Chain 1.
3. Make 1 front post double crochet (FPdc) around the next stitch of Round 1.
   • (Front post means you insert the hook around the post of the stitch instead of into the top loops. It makes petals pop up.)
4. Continue making 1 FPdc around each stitch from Round 1. (You will have 12 FPdc total.)
5. Join to the first FPdc with sl st.

Now you have the star-like flower center pattern. 🌟

Step 4 – Round 3 (White Background Circle)

Switch to white yarn.

1. Chain 2 (counts as first dc).
2. In the next stitch, make 2 dc in the same stitch.
3. Next stitch, make 1 dc, then next stitch 2 dc again.
4. Repeat this pattern around (1 dc, 2 dc, 1 dc, 2 dc…).
5. Join to the top of the first dc with sl st.

Now the circle should begin to widen evenly.

🧩 You should have 18 stitches in total.

---

Step 5 – Round 4 (Outer Circle Expansion)

Still with white yarn:

1. Chain 2.
2. 1 dc in first 2 stitches, 2 dc in next stitch.
3. Repeat this pattern around (2 dc, 2 dc, 2 dc).
4. Join to the top of first dc with sl st.

Now your circle becomes flat and larger — perfect coaster size.

---

Step 6 – Round 5 (Zigzag Border Pattern)

Switch back to green yarn (or your border color).

1. Attach yarn with a slip stitch. Chain 1.
2. In next stitch, make 1 single crochet (sc).
3. Skip 1 stitch, then make a long single crochet (spike stitch) — insert the hook into the stitch one row below and pull yarn up to the current height.
4. Continue alternating:
   • 1 sc in top stitch
   • 1 spike stitch in the previous row stitch below

This will create the V or zigzag border you see in the photo.
5. Continue around the whole circle.
6. Join to first sc with sl st, fasten off, and weave in yarn ends.

✅ Finishing
