Brighten up your home with my Crochet Flower Coaster Pattern featuring 6 petals! These coasters are perfect for spring, summer, or adding a touch of cheer to your space all year round.
I love spring—it's arguably my favorite season outside of fall. Everything feels fresh: the rain smells sweet, flowers bloom with fragrance, and the days grow longer. This year, I wanted to shake off the winter blues by bringing some of my favorite elements of nature inside.
These simple floral crochet coasters are my take on the popular crochet flower coaster trend. I made this pattern unique by designing it with 6 petals instead of 5 (easier math for me!) and giving the petals a more defined shape. You can also use these flowers as large appliques on a blanket like how I use my crochet ghost coaster pattern for my crochet Halloween blanket pattern.
If you're looking for more spring crochet ideas featuring flowers, check out my cherry blossom coasters or crochet daisy coaster pattern since they also use the same colors of cotton yarn for these floral crochet coasters.
So, let's get started!

✏️ Things To Note:
- Yarn Choice: I used cotton yarn for the 6-petal crochet flower coaster pattern and highly recommend it for this purpose. Avoid acrylic, as it doesn't absorb liquid well.
- Using Acrylic Yarn: If you do choose to use acrylic, consider it for crochet flower appliques on blankets or pillows instead of coasters. I do this with my crochet sunflower blanket pattern and my crochet strawberry blanket pattern.
- Size: The finished flower coaster is approximately 5 inches in diameter.

🍵Instructions for Crochet Flower Coaster Pattern with 6 Petals
The crochet flower coaster pattern is made in rounds not rows.
Round 1: With the yellow yarn, make a mr then immediately ch x2 and dc x12 into the ring. Then sl st to the top of the first dc (12).
Round 2: Ch x2 and then dc inc for the entire round (24). Then sl st to the first dc in the round. Fasten off the yellow yarn (or change the color while making the sl st to the first dc at the end of the round) and switch the yarn to white, or whatever color you want to make the petals.
Round 3: Ch x2 and then dc, dc inc for the entire round (36). Then sl st to the first dc in the round.
Round 4: This round we are going to make 6 tr crochet shells.
To make a triple crochet shell: Wrap the yarn around your hook like you are going to make a triple crochet but skip 2 stitches and insert your hook into the 3rd stitch away from you. Then make 7 more triple crochets into that exact same stitch. After the 8th tr, skip 2 stitches and make a sl st to anchor the shell to the main part of the flower.
Repeat 5 more times for the petals. Slip stitch to the beginning.
Round 5: This round will give more definition to the flowers.
Skip the first tr stitch, then make a sc inc into the next 6 tr stitches.
Skip the last tr stitch and make a spike sl st by making a sl st over the previous rows sl st by going in between the dc post below it from the first petal row (2 rows down).
Repeat 5 more times for the other petals. Slip stitch to the beginning stitch.
Fasten off the yarn and weave in any ends.
And now you have completed a 6 petal crochet flower coaster with my fun crochet flower coaster pattern! Quick and easy to make, perfect for your next crochet market.
If you have any yarn leftover, you could make a little crochet tulip keychain if you had some green available as well.
🐌Expert Tips
- Cleaner Petal Transition: For a neater transition between the flower center and petals, try making the first petal round in the back loop only.
- Adjusting Petal Shape: If you want the petals to look more or less rounded, play around with the number of triple crochets in each petal. Adding or reducing stitches can alter the final shape.
- Securing Loose Ends: When weaving in the ends, use a tapestry needle to slide the yarn through multiple stitches on the back, ensuring they don't come loose over time.
🧵Pattern FAQs
No worries! While cotton is best for absorbency, you can still use the flowers as decorative pieces for blankets, cardigans, and more.
It's not necessary, but if you want extra grip to prevent the coaster from sliding on surfaces, feel free to add a non-slip backing.
Wool is a good alternative—it's heat-resistant, absorbent, and antimicrobial. However, cotton remains my top choice for coasters.

- The finished flower crochet coaster is roughly 5 inches in diameter.
