Creating a crochet flower coaster is a fun and straightforward project. Here’s a simple pattern you can follow:
Materials Needed:
- Cotton yarn (2 or 3 colors for petals and center)
- Crochet hook (size 4mm or 5mm)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
- Stitch marker (optional, for keeping track of rounds)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Start with a Magic Ring:
To create a magic ring, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, then pull the working yarn through the loop with your hook to create a ring. - Round 1:
- Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
- Work 11 double crochets (dc) into the ring.
- Pull the ring to tighten, then join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the chain 3. You should have 12 dc.
- Round 2:
- Start with a slip stitch into the next stitch to position your yarn properly.
- Chain 3 (counts as first dc), and in the same stitch, work one more dc.
- In each stitch around, work 2 dc.
- Join with a slip stitch at the top of the chain-3. (Total: 24 stitches)
- Round 3:
- Slip stitch into the next dc, then chain 1.
- In the same stitch (chain 1 started), make 1 single crochet (sc).
- Chain 2, skip the next stitch, and in the next stitch, make 1 sc.
- Repeat this pattern around: (1 sc in next stitch, chain 2, skip 1).
- Join with a slip stitch.
- Round 4:
- Slip stitch into the first chain-2 space.
- Chain 1. In the same space, make 5 dc (this creates a petal).
- Skip the next single crochet, and work another 5 dc in the next chain-2 space.
- Repeat this around to form petals.
- Join with a slip stitch at the top of the first chain.
Optional Variations:
– Color Changes: Change colors every round to create a striped effect or use a different color for the center of the flower.
– Different Sizes: Adjust the number of rounds or the type of stitches (e.g., using half double crochets instead of double crochets) to create smaller or larger coasters.
– Embellishments: Once finished, you could add a button to the center or sew in beads for extra decoration.
Final Steps:
Weaving in Ends: Use your yarn needle to weave in the loose ends neatly around the back of your coaster to keep it clean.
Care Instructions:
– If using cotton yarn, these coasters can be washed in cold water. Lay flat to dry.
