🌼 Pattern Overview
We’ll make a 5-round round coaster:
- Round 1–2: Orange (center flower)
- Round 3–5: White (petals and decorative border)
This creates a floral mandala-like coaster, great for mugs or small bowls.
🍊 Step-by-Step Crochet Instructions
🌟 Round 1 – Orange (Center Circle)
- Start with a Magic Ring (or ch 4 and join with a sl st to form a ring).
- Ch 3 (counts as first dc), then work 11 dc into the ring.
- Sl st to top of ch-3 to join.
- Pull the ring tight to close.
✅ You should have 12 double crochet stitches in total.
🌟 Round 2 – Orange (Forming Petal Bases)
- Ch 2 (counts as hdc), in same st: 1 dc, ch 1, 2 dc.
- Skip 1 stitch, in next stitch: (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) – repeat around.
- Sl st to join in the top of beginning ch-2.
✅ You’ll have 6 petal base clusters separated by skipped stitches.
🤍 Round 3 – White (Petal Tops)
- Cut orange yarn and attach white yarn in any ch-1 space from the previous round.
- In each ch-1 space, work:
- (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) – this forms one full petal.
- Repeat around for all 6 petals.
- Sl st to first sc to close.
✅ Now you have a flower with 6 full white petals.
🤍 Round 4 – White (Shape the Circle)
- Ch 1, sc in each stitch around the entire piece to create a smoother circular shape.
- Pay attention to corners between petals—try to keep stitches evenly spaced.
- Sl st to the first sc to join.
🤍 Round 5 – White (Scalloped Edge)
- Skip 1 stitch, 5 dc in next stitch (shell), skip 1 stitch, sc in next stitch.
- Repeat this pattern around the coaster.
- Sl st to first sc, then fasten off.
✅ This final round adds a delicate, lacy scallop border.
✂️ Finishing Touches
- Use the tapestry needle to weave in all yarn ends securely on the back.
- Optionally, block the coaster: spray it lightly with water, shape it, and let it dry flat.
☕ How to Use This Coaster
- Perfect for coffee mugs, tea cups, or cold drinks.
- Add a loop to hang it as a decorative wall piece.
- Make a set for a gift bundle!
🧼 Care Instructions
- Hand wash or gentle machine wash in cold water.
- Lay flat to air dry.
- Do not iron or tumble dry.
🎨 Ideas for Variation
- Use yellow instead of orange to make it look like a daisy or sunflower.
- Make a full set with alternating color patterns (e.g., white center, orange border).
- Add a third color (like green for leaves) in a separate round.
