Brighten up your home space by making my Crochet Flower Coaster Pattern with 6 Petals! The crochet flower coasters are perfect for Spring, Summer, or the whole year really!
I used cotton yarn for the coasters, I only suggest cotton if used as a coaster. Do not use acrylic as it does not absorb liquid well.
If you do use acrylic, it can be used as a crochet flower applique on a blanket or pillow instead of as a coaster.
The finished flower crochet coaster is roughly 5 inches in diameter.
Instructions
This pattern is made in rounds not rows.
Round 1: With the yellow yarn, make a mr then immediately ch x2 (does not count as a stitch) 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 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 from* 5 more times for the petals. Then make a sl st right before the first tr at 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. Instead, make a spike sl st by inserting your hook into the space between the dc post from the first petal row (2 rows below), directly beneath the previous row’s sl st. Then complete a sl st there.
Repeat from * 5 more times for the other petals. Sl st to the beginning stitch.
Fasten off the yarn and weave in any ends.
And now you have completed a crochet flower coaster, perfect for your next crochet market.
