🔄 Step-by-Step Pattern
🌼 Round 1 – Center of the Flower
You can skip this and start with Round 2 if you want an all-blue flower.
- Make a magic ring.
- (Or ch 4 and sl st into first ch to form a ring.)
- Ch 2 (counts as your first dc).
- Work 11 dc into the ring (12 total with beginning ch-2).
- Pull the ring tight and sl st into the top of the ch 2 to close the round.
- Fasten off if you’re changing color.
✅ You now have a neat circular center.
🌸 Round 2 – Petals
- Join blue yarn into any dc from Round 1 with a sl st.
- Petal formula:
- (Ch 2, 2 dc in same stitch, ch 2, sl st in next stitch).
- Repeat this petal pattern 6 times to create 6 petals.
- You’ll be working into every other stitch from Round 1.
- After the last petal, sl st to the base of the first petal to join.
- Fasten off and weave in the ends.
✅ Your flower shape is now formed! You can stop here for a cute mini coaster.
🌼 Optional Round 3 – Add a Back Layer for Stability
This round adds a larger backing and makes the coaster more practical.
- Flip your flower and join blue yarn into the back loops behind a petal.
- (Ch 3, tr in next 2 stitches behind the petal, ch 3, sl st in next space).
- Repeat this around behind each petal to create a second layer or fuller shape.
- Sl st to finish. Fasten off and weave in all ends.
🧺 Finishing Touches
- Blocking: Lightly steam or dampen your coaster and lay it flat to dry. This helps it hold its shape.
- Weaving Ends: Use a yarn needle to tuck in all yarn tails securely.
- Optional Add-ons: Add a border round (like sc all around) to make it more coaster-like.
🧵 Customization Tips:
- Try using two shades of blue—light blue petals with a darker center.
- Add a round of single crochets around the outer edge for a clean finish.
- Use cotton yarn for better water absorption if you’re using it as a drink coaster.
