Step-by-Step: 3D Spiral Flower Crochet Coaster
This motif is worked in the round and built layer by layer to create the raised 3D effect.
Step 1: Create the Magic Ring
- Make a magic ring
- Chain 1 to secure
- Crochet 12 single crochets into the ring
- Join with a slip stitch
This forms the center of the coaster.
Step 2: Build the Base Round
- Chain 2
- Work 2 half double crochets into each stitch
- Join with a slip stitch
This round increases the size and prepares space for the spiral petals.
Step 3: Create the Spiral Flower Petals
This is where the magic happens ✨
- Chain 3
- In the same stitch, crochet:
- 2 double crochets
- 1 half double crochet
- Skip one stitch
- Slip stitch into the next stitch
Repeat this sequence around the circle.
As you continue, you’ll see the flower petals forming in a spiral pattern, creating the beautiful 3D texture.
Step 4: Shape the 3D Effect
To enhance the raised look:
- Crochet petals slightly tighter
- Use front-loop-only stitches (optional)
- Slightly overlap petals by adjusting slip stitch placement
This adds depth and gives the coaster its signature spiral flower appearance.
Step 5: Finish the Coaster
- Slip stitch to close
- Cut yarn and fasten off
- Weave in all ends neatly
Your 3D spiral flower coaster is complete 🌸
Blocking (Optional but Recommended)
Light blocking improves shape:
- Lightly spray with water
- Shape the petals gently
- Lay flat to dry
Blocking gives the coaster a professional finish, especially for selling.
