          \ud83c\udf3b Sunflower Coaster Crochet Pattern (Step-by-Step)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          We\u2019ll make this coaster in three parts<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Center circle (brown)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Petal layer (yellow)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Optional leaf trim (green)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            \ud83c\udf42 Part 1: Center of the Sunflower (Brown Yarn)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            plaintextCopyEditRound 1: Make a magic ring. Ch 2 (counts as dc), 11 dc into the ring. Pull tight and join with sl st. (12 dc)\n\nRound 2: Ch 2, dc in same st, 2 dc in each st around. Join with sl st. (24 dc)\n\nRound 3: Ch 2, *1 dc in next st, 2 dc in next st* repeat around. Join. (36 dc)\n\nFasten off and weave in ends.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
            \ud83d\udc49 Tip:<\/strong> This flat circle should be around 2.5″\u20133″ wide. You can block it to ensure it’s even.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
            \ud83c\udf3b Part 2: Petals (Yellow Yarn)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            Join yellow yarn in any stitch on the last round of the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
            plaintextCopyEdit*Ch 3, in next st work (1 tr, 1 dc, ch 2, sl st)* \u2013 this forms one petal.\n\nRepeat from * to * in every stitch around the center. You should end up with 36 small petals.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
            \ud83d\udc49 Optional Variation for Fuller Petals:<\/strong>
            Instead of 1 tr and 1 dc, you can work (2 tr, 1 dc) in each petal for a more dramatic effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
            Once all petals are complete, fasten off and weave in the yarn tails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
            \ud83c\udf3f Part 3: Optional Leaf Trim (Green Yarn)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            You can add a leafy round for a framed look or make the coaster slightly larger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
            Join green yarn behind any petal (between petals).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
            plaintextCopyEdit*Ch 4, sl st in space between next two petals* \u2013 repeat around.\nFasten off and weave in ends.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
            This adds a scalloped edge that resembles leafy sepals around the sunflower bloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
            \u2705 Finished Size<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            Your sunflower coaster should measure about 4.5 to 5.5 inches<\/strong> across, depending on your yarn, hook size, and tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Because it\u2019s made of cotton:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Hand-wash or machine-wash<\/strong> on gentle cycle with cold water<\/li>\n\n\n\n
