Pattern Instructions

Center of Flower

With green yarn:

1. Rnd 1: Make a magic ring.
   Work 1 ch (does not count as a st), 5 dc, 5 sc into magic ring. (Total: 10 sts)
   Pull ring tight.
2. Rnd 2: Beginning in the first st, work 1 sc in the first st, inc in the next st.
   Continue around: [1 sc, inc] to end. (15 sts)
   Place stitch marker at beginning of round.

   (That is: 3 sc, then inc, repeat until finished.)

Petal Formation

Continue with petal color:

6. Petal Round:
   Repeat the following sequence around the coaster:
   • In each petal section (worked across consecutive stitches):
     1. sc in first st
     2. dc in second st
     3. tr in same st as previous dc (repeat 5 times total in same st for full petal shape)
     4. dc in next st
     5. sc in next st
   • Repeat this structure for each petal (using five treble crochets at the center of each petal).

   Note: There should be approximately 6 petals. If your stitch count doesn’t divide evenly, simply skip or add a stitch to adjust placement.

Petal Edge/Finishing

7. Edging Round:
   • Work sl st in the next st following a petal, then sc in each st around the coaster.
   • For a crisper edge, work 2 sc before each petal and 1 sl st after.

Final Steps

8. Finishing:
   • Cut yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in.
   • Weave in all ends using a yarn needle, hiding them in nearby stitches.
   • Block your coaster if necessary to smooth out.

Conclusion

Your flower coaster is now ready for use! This cheerful design is perfect for cups, kitchen decor, or as a creative gift. Adjust the size as desired by adding more rounds or petals—and have fun customizing colors!

Pattern Correction

• If you wish to make a larger or smaller coaster, add or omit rounds of increases.
• Adjust petal placement evenly around for symmetry.
• If your stitch count does not match exactly, skip or add stitches as necessary, keeping the petals evenly spaced.

Tips

• For a more stable coaster, use cotton yarn—it absorbs spills and retains shape well.
• Use a smaller hook for a tighter fabric.
• Try making petals in multicolor or ombre yarn for a fun effect.
• Block finished coaster with gentle steam or water for the best petal shape.
