🌼 Step-by-Step Crochet Pattern (Round Coaster)

🔸 Round 1 – Center Circle (Color A)

1. Start with a magic ring (or ch 4, join to form a ring).
2. Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), work 11 dc into the ring.
3. Join with a sl st to top of ch-3. (12 dc total)
4. Fasten off and change to Color B.

🔸 Round 2 – Petal Base (Color B)

1. Join Color B in any stitch.
2. Ch 1, then (1 hdc, ch 1) in each stitch around.
3. Sl st to first hdc to join. (12 hdc, 12 ch-1 spaces)
4. Fasten off and switch to Color C.

🔸 Round 3 – Shells (Color C)

1. Join Color C in any ch-1 space.
2. (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in each ch-1 space around – these are your “shells”.
3. Sl st to the top of first dc to join. (12 shells)
4. Fasten off and switch to Color D.

🔸 Round 4 – Border & Shape (Color D)

1. Join Color D in any ch-1 space between shells.
2. (1 sc in space, ch 3, 1 sc in next space) – repeat around.

This creates a lace-like edge and finishes the coaster beautifully.
