🌼 Step-by-Step Pattern
Step 1: Center of the Flower
- Start with a magic ring.
- Chain 2 (counts as first hdc), then make 11 hdc into the ring.
- Pull the ring tight and join with a slip stitch to the top of the first hdc (12 hdc total).
Step 2: Petal Loops
- Chain 3, skip one stitch, slip stitch into the next stitch — repeat around.
- You’ll have 6 loops. These will form the base for the petals.
Step 3: Crochet the Petals
In each loop:
- Single Crochet, Half Double Crochet, 2 Double Crochets, Half Double Crochet, Single Crochet.
- Repeat in all 6 loops to complete 6 petals.
Optional: Second Layer for Larger Flowers
- Flip your work to the back.
- Insert your hook behind the first round (in unused loops), and chain 4, sl st into the next — repeat to form 6 more loops.
- Work larger petals as above but use 3 double crochets in the middle for extra fullness.
🪄 Finishing Touches
- Fasten off and weave in ends with a yarn needle.
- Block your coasters lightly if the petals curl.
- Optional: Add a contrasting border around the entire coaster using single crochet.
💡 Tips for Success
- Keep your tension even, especially on the petal stitches.
- Cotton yarn prevents slipping and holds shape well on flat surfaces.
- Experiment with variegated yarns for a naturally multicolor floral effect.
