To crochet a flower coaster similar to the ones in your image (which feature petal-like extensions and a circular center), you can follow a general pattern. Below is a simplified step-by-step pattern suitable for intermediate beginners who are comfortable with basic stitches.
🧶 Supplies You’ll Need
- Cotton yarn in 2 or 3 colors (Color A for center, Color B for petals, optional Color C for accent ring)
- Crochet hook (2.5mm–4.0mm, depending on your yarn — the photo shows 2.0mm)
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
- Scissors
🌼 Detailed Flower Coaster Crochet Pattern
Step 1: Center Circle (Color A)
We’ll start by forming the solid inner circle of the flower.
Round 1:
- Make a magic ring, ch 2 (counts as 1 dc).
- Work 11 dc into the ring (12 dc total including ch 2).
- Pull the ring tight and sl st to top of beginning ch 2 to close the round.
Round 2:
- Ch 2, dc in the same stitch.
- Work 2 dc in each stitch around.
- Join with sl st to top of beginning ch 2. (24 dc)
Round 3:
- Ch 2, 2 dc in next stitch, 1 dc in next stitch, repeat around.
- Join. (36 dc)
🟡 Optional: Switch to a contrast color (Color C) to make a visible accent ring by slip stitching in the front loops only of Round 3.
Step 2: Petal Base Setup
To create the base for the petals, work in back loops only of Round 3 (if you used front loops for the accent ring).
- Still with Color A:
- Ch 1, sc in next 3 sts, ch 2, skip 1 st, repeat around. You’ll create small spaces (ch-2 spaces) between petal clusters. Join and fasten off.
Step 3: Flower Petals (Color B)
Attach Color B into any ch-2 space from the last round.
Each petal is made into one ch-2 space.
Petal Pattern (repeat for each space):
- (sc, hdc, dc, tr, dc, hdc, sc) into the same ch-2 space.
- Sl st to next ch-2 space to anchor the petal.
- Repeat this petal pattern in each ch-2 space around.
After last petal, sl st to starting point. Fasten off and weave in ends.
🧵 Tip: You can make longer or more curved petals by increasing the number or height of stitches.
✨ Optional: Second Petal Layer
If you want a two-layered flower:
- Before starting the first petal layer, add one more round to the center circle:
- Round 4: 2 dc in 1st st, 1 dc in next 2 sts, repeat. Join. (48 dc)
- In the back loops of Round 4, repeat the petal pattern with longer stitches (like starting with dc and going up to dtr).
This gives a fuller 3D look, like a real layered sunflower or daisy.
🧼 Finishing Up:
- Weave in all yarn tails using a tapestry needle.
- Block your coasters lightly with steam or a damp cloth to help them lay flat.
