Materials
- Cotton yarn or acrylic yarn
- Crochet hook (4.0 mm to 5.0 mm recommended)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
- Stitch marker (optional)
Start with a Magic Ring:
Wrap the yarn around your fingers twice, insert the hook, pull through a loop, and then chain one to secure the loop for single crochet stitches.
Round 1:
- Chain one (this does not count as a stitch).
- Work 6 single crochets into the magic ring.
- Tighten the magic ring by pulling the tail to close the inner circle.
- Complete the round with a slip stitch to the first single crochet stitch.
Round 2:
Chain one (counts as an unfinished stitch).
- Work a modified cluster stitch in the same stitch: Yarn over, insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through two loops, repeat once more, then yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook.
- Chain one, then work this modified cluster stitch in each stitch around, resulting in six groups.
- Join with a slip stitch to the first cluster stitch and place a stitch marker in the working loop.
Color Change (Optional):
If changing color, cut the first color and attach the new color yarn.
Round 3:
- Chain four (counts as the first double crochet and chain one space).
- In the same space, make a double crochet, then chain one.
Repeat the process in each chain one space: Double crochet, chain one, double crochet, chain one.
- Join to the third chain of the beginning chain with a slip stitch.
Round 4:
- Chain three (counts as a double crochet).
- In the next space (chain one space between two double crochets), work a double crochet, chain one, and another double crochet.
- In the top of the following double crochet stitch, work a double crochet, then chain one.
Repeat this pattern around, and join to the third chain with a slip stitch.
Round 5:
- Similar to Round 4, but be careful with the insertion points: Make a slip stitch to the next stitch, chain three (as the first double crochet).
- In the next chain-one space, work a double crochet, chain one, another double crochet.
- In the next double crochet stitch, work a double crochet and chain one.
- Skip two stitches on both edges unworked, repeat pattern around, and join to the third chain with a slip stitch.
Final Edge:
- Edge the pattern with an additional row, creating a series of chains and single crochets, working into the spaces provided by the previous rounds.
- Cut the yarn and weave in the ends to finish your coaster.
Your crochet flower coaster is now complete! Enjoy your handmade creation, whether for personal use or as a gift for someone special.
