The image shows crocheted flower coasters that can be folded into 3D roses — a fun and decorative crochet project! 🌼 Let’s go step-by-step on how to make it:
🧶 What You’ll Need
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Yarn | 3 colors: white (center), green (leaves), and any bright color (orange/yellow). Medium-weight yarn (4-ply cotton or acrylic). |
| Crochet Hook | 3.0 mm – 3.5 mm |
| Scissors | For trimming ends |
| Tapestry Needle | For weaving in yarn tails |
🌼 Step 1: Crochet the Circle Center
Color: White
Stitches Used: Magic ring, chain (ch), double crochet (dc), slip stitch (sl st)
- Start: Make a magic ring (or chain 5 and join to form a ring).
- Round 1:
- Ch 3 (counts as first dc), then make 11 dc into the ring.
- Join with sl st to top of ch-3. → (12 dc total)
- Round 2:
- Ch 3, make 1 dc in the same stitch.
- 2 dc in each stitch around.
- Join with sl st. → (24 dc)
- Round 3:
- Ch 3, 1 dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next stitch — repeat around.
- Join with sl st. → (36 dc)
- Round 4:
- Ch 3, 1 dc in each of next 2 sts, 2 dc in next — repeat around.
- Join with sl st. → (48 dc)
👉 You now have a flat white circle.
🌸 Step 2: Create the Petal Edges
Color: Petal color (orange, green, or yellow)
- Join your yarn in any stitch.
- Skip 1 stitch, make 5 dc in the next stitch (all in the same stitch) → this forms one petal.
- Skip 1 stitch, sl st in next stitch.
- Repeat steps 2–3 around the circle.
- When done, join with sl st to first petal base and fasten off.
👉 You’ll now have a round flower coaster with scalloped petals.
🌿 Step 3: (Optional) Add Leaf Layer
Color: Green
To add a leafy border:
- Join green yarn in any space between petals.
- Ch 5, sl st in next space. Repeat all the way around.
- In each ch-5 loop: (1 sc, 1 hdc, 3 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc) → repeat to make small leaf shapes.
👉 This adds a leafy layer behind the petals.
🌹 Step 4: Forming the 3D Rose Shape
Now the fun part!
You can make 3 coasters — one orange, one yellow, and one green — then stack them like in your photo.
- Stack your flower coasters with the petals offset, so colors alternate.
- Gently fold and curl the edges inward. The scalloped edges will naturally form petal layers.
- Use a needle and matching yarn to stitch the centers together from underneath.
- Fluff and adjust the petals to look like a blooming rose.
☕ Step 5: Uses
✅ Lay them flat → Use as coasters
✅ Stack them → Use as decor or table centerpiece
✅ Add a stem → Use as crochet bouquet
