๐ธ Instructions
๐ธ Sunflower Center (Brown Yarn)
Round 1:
- Start with a magic ring (MR)
- Ch 2 (counts as dc), 11 dc into the MR.
- Pull ring tight, sl st into the top of ch 2 to join. (12 dc total)
โ๏ธ You should now have a neat, flat circle.
Round 2:
- Ch 2, 1 dc in the same st.
- 2 dc in each dc around.
- Sl st to join. (24 dc total)
โ๏ธ Check your count: 12 increases = 24 stitches
Round 3:
- Ch 2, 1 dc in same st.
- 1 dc in next st, 2 dc in next st repeat around.
- Sl st to join. (36 dc total)
โ๏ธ Each round should stay flat โ if itโs curling, loosen your tension slightly.
Round 4:
- Ch 2, 1 dc in same st.
- 1 dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st repeat around.
- Sl st to join. (48 dc total)
โ๏ธ After this, youโll have a nice, solid circle base.
Fasten off brown yarn.
๐ธ Petals (Yellow Yarn)
Round 5:
- Join yellow yarn in any stitch with a sl st.
- Ch 7 (acts as petal base)
Now work down the chain:
- 1 tr in 3rd ch from hook
- 1 dc in next ch
- 1 sc in next ch
- 1 dc in next ch
- 1 tr in next ch
- Skip 1 st on the round base, sl st in the next st
โ๏ธ Each petal takes 6 chains plus one skipped stitch.
Repeat this around the entire coaster.
You should get 24 petals total (since you have 48 base stitches and skip one after each petal).
Fasten off and weave in the yellow yarn ends.
๐ป Petal Shaping Tips:
- You can adjust petal height by changing the starting chain:
- Ch 7 = longer, floppy petals
- Ch 6 = tighter, firmer petals
- Blocking your finished coaster under a damp cloth will help the petals lay flat and stay in shape.
๐ Final Touch:
Use a yarn needle to neatly weave in all ends on the back side. Optionally, steam block it for perfect petal positioning.
๐ Finished Size:
- Approx. 5-6 inches in diameter (depending on your yarn weight and hook size)
