Steps of the Project

Step 1: Starting the Magic Ring (Round 1)

  1. Create the Magic Ring:
    • Wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop. Insert the hook under the loop, pull up a loop, and chain one.
  2. Work into the Magic Ring:
    • Crochet 8 single crochets (SC) into the ring. Use a stitch marker to mark the first single crochet.
    • Tighten the ring by pulling the tail and slip stitch into the first single crochet to join.

2: Creating the Base Cluster Design (Round 2)

  1. Chain Two: This counts as the first half of an unfinished double crochet (DC).
  2. Unfinished Double Crochets: Work one unfinished double crochet in the same stitch.
  3. Chain Two: This forms the space between clusters.
  4. Repeat the Cluster and Chains: Create clusters of two unfinished double crochets, separated by chain twos, and repeat around the circle.
    • You should complete 8 clusters with 8 chain-two spaces.
  5. Join the Round: Slip stitch into the top of the cluster to finish the round.

3: Switching to White Yarn (Round 3)

  1. Attach White Yarn: Insert your hook into any chain-two space, make a slip knot, and pull it through.
  2. Start Unfinished Double Crochets: Chain two (the first unfinished DC) and add another two unfinished double crochets.
  3. Chain Two and Repeat: In the same space, create another cluster of three unfinished double crochets, then chain three.
    • Continue repeating 3 unfinished DC, chain 2, 3 unfinished DC, chain 3 in each chain-space around.
  4. Finish the Round: Join to the first cluster, fasten off, and cut the yarn.

4: Switching Back to Light Pink Yarn (Round 4)

  1. Attach Light Pink Yarn: Insert the hook into any chain-three space and make a slip knot.
  2. Single Crochet and Chain Two in the space.
  3. Create Petals: In each chain-two space:
    • Crochet 5 double crochets (DC).
    • Chain two, and single crochet into the next chain-three space.
  4. Repeat the Pattern: Continue around the circle, alternating between chain-two spaces and chain-three spaces.
  5. Complete the Round: Slip stitch into the first single crochet to join.

5: Adding Detail to Each Petal

  1. Work Double Crochet Edges: For each petal:
    • Chain 3 (as the first double crochet), then work 1 or 2 double crochets depending on stitch location, to add structure.
  2. Highlight the Heart Shape: Crochet specific double crochets and single crochets strategically to form the heart shape for each petal.
  3. Repeat Around the Edges: Continue creating petals using the same method.

6: Finishing and Final Touches

  1. Add the Final Round: Add a finishing single crochet edge to outline the hearts and the coaster. This secures the design and hides any uneven edges.
  2. Weave in Ends: Use the darning needle to tidy up all loose yarn ends.
  3. Complete the Coaster: Block your coaster if necessary to make it perfectly flat.

Tutor’s Suggestions

  • Use a Stitch Marker: Keeping track of the beginning of each round is crucial for accuracy, especially when working in clusters.
  • Weave in Ends While Working: Hide yarn tails as you crochet to save time on finishing.
  • Keep Consistent Tension: Ensure you maintain an even yarn tension throughout to give the coaster a uniform appearance.
  • Experiment with Colors: While the tutorial uses light pink and white, feel free to experiment with bold or subtle color combinations.

Level of Difficulty

This project is designed to be beginner-friendly, with its simple stitches like single crochet, double crochet, and working in the round. However, attention to detail is needed when forming the petals, which adds a slight intermediate challenge to the project.

Uses of the Petals of Love Coaster

  • Decorative Coaster: Perfect for tea or coffee cups.
  • Gift Item: An ideal handmade gift for birthdays, Valentine’s Day, or any special occasion.
  • Decor Element: Use as small doilies or decoration pieces to enhance your table settings.
  • Party Favor: Create sets of coasters to give as party favors or wedding gifts.

Tip

To ensure that the petals retain their heart shape, block the coaster by dampening it slightly, arranging the petals into their final shape, and letting it air dry completely.
