You’re looking to create a beautiful, large Flower Coaster Supla Motif<\/strong> with a Striped Design<\/strong>! This is a fantastic idea because the concentric layers of a flower lend themselves perfectly to a striped look achieved through color changes. Each layer of petals, or the base between layers, becomes a distinct “stripe” of color, making the flower pop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tutorial will guide you through crocheting a layered, dimensional flower motif that is sturdy enough to be a supla (approximately 7-8 inches in diameter) and features a vibrant striped design through strategic color changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Crochet a Flower Coaster Supla Motif (Striped Design)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This pattern creates a dense, multi-layered flower motif. The “striped design” comes from using different colors for each distinct layer of petals and the connecting rounds, creating a stunning visual effect as the colors radiate outwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced Intermediate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You should be comfortable with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Basic crochet stitches (ch, sl st, sc, hdc, dc, tr).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Working in the round.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Making clean color changes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Working into front loops only (FLO) and back loops only (BLO) to create layers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Finished Motif Dimensions (Approximate):<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Diameter:<\/strong> 7-8 inches (18-20 cm)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Materials You’ll Need:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Yarn:<\/strong>\n
          \n
        • Worsted Weight (Medium #4) Cotton Yarn:<\/strong> Approximately 80-120 yards (73-110 meters) per motif. Cotton is highly recommended for mats due to its durability, absorbency, heat resistance, and ability to hold its shape for dimensional flowers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Colors:<\/strong> Choose 3-4 contrasting or complementary colors for a vibrant striped effect.\n
            \n
          • Color 1 (Flower Center)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Color 2 (Inner Petals)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Color 3 (Middle Layer\/Connecting)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Color 4 (Outer Petals)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Crochet Hook:<\/strong>\n
              \n
            • Size H\/5.0mm<\/strong> (or the hook size that gives you a firm, dense fabric that holds its shape well. Gauge is not as critical for the overall “flower” shape as for a flat circle, but consistent tension is key).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Yarn Needle (Tapestry Needle):<\/strong> Essential for weaving in loose ends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Scissors<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Stitch Marker (Optional):<\/strong> Helpful for marking the beginning of rounds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Understanding Striped Flower Construction:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              This flower achieves its “striped” and “eye-catching” quality by building in layers, with each major layer or connecting round worked in a new color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Central Core (Color 1):<\/strong> The starting point of your flower.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Inner Petals (Color 2):<\/strong> The first “stripe” of petals, worked into the FLO (Front Loop Only)<\/strong> of the previous round’s stitches. This is crucial as it leaves the BLO (Back Loop Only)<\/strong> available for the next layer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              3. Middle Connecting Layer (Color 3):<\/strong> A distinct “stripe” that expands the base behind<\/em> the first layer of petals. This is worked into the unworked BLOs<\/strong> from the very first round, or into new stitches created in the back. This provides a clean base for the next set of petals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              4. Outer Petals (Color 4):<\/strong> The largest “stripe” of petals, providing the main dimension and final size of your supla.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              5. Optional Finishing Edge (Color 1 or 4):<\/strong> A final border can add a neat, finished “stripe” if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                How to Make a Clean Color Change:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                For neat, defined “stripes” (layers), always change colors on the last yarn over of the last stitch of the round before the new color begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Work the last stitch of the round with the current color until you have two loops left on your hook<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Drop the current color.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. Pick up the new color<\/strong>, yarn over with the new color, and pull it through the remaining two loops on your hook to complete the stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                4. You have now successfully changed colors. Sl st to the top of the initial stitch (or ch) of the round (with the new color) to join.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                5. Always cut the old color yarn,<\/strong> leaving a 4-6 inch tail to weave in securely later.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  Let’s Start Crocheting Your Striped Flower Coaster Supla Motif!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                  Part 1: Flower Center (Color 1)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                  Option A: Magic Ring (Recommended for a tighter center)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  1. With Color 1<\/strong>, make a Magic Ring (MR)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  2. Round 1:<\/strong> Ch 2 (does NOT count as a stitch). Work 12 hdc<\/strong> into the MR. Pull the tail tight to close the ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  3. Perform a clean color change to Color 2<\/strong>.<\/em> Sl st to the top of the first hdc to join. (Total: 12 hdc<\/strong>). Cut Color 1<\/strong>, leaving a 4-inch tail to weave in.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    Option B: Chain 4 Method (Alternative)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n
                    1. With Color 1<\/strong>, Ch 4, sl st into the 1st ch to form a ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    2. Round 1:<\/strong> Ch 2 (does NOT count as a stitch). Work 12 hdc<\/strong> into the ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    3. Perform a clean color change to Color 2<\/strong>.<\/em> Sl st to the top of the first hdc to join. (Total: 12 hdc<\/strong>). Cut Color 1<\/strong>, leaving a 4-inch tail to weave in.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                      Part 2: Inner Petal Layer (Color 2) – First “Stripe” of Petals<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                      We’ll work this layer of petals into the FLO (Front Loop Only)<\/strong> of the stitches from Round 1. This is crucial as it leaves the back loops free for the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
