Easy Floral Coasters – Free Crochet Pattern

May 9, 2020

This is a free crochet pattern for how-to make my new Easy Floral Coasters.

This post contains affiliate links for LoveCrafts and WeCrochet. If you make a purchase by clicking on them, I make a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thanks for your support!

Find the free crochet pattern instructions below, or purchase a printer-friendly, ad-free PDF on Ravelry by clicking here.

This floral motif has been one of absolute favorite little things! I have used to create my Sunflower Shawl (Free Crochet Pattern), as well as my more recent Floral Hoop Earrings (Free Crochet Pattern).

I also have three more projects coming to you this month using the same basic pattern (with many more on my brain).

My brother gave me this mug for Christmas last year. It’s one of my favorites!

If you would like a PDF version of this post, you may get one through either my EyeLoveKnots Etsy Shop, Ravelry or LoveCrochet Shop for a small fee. This fee is to compensate for the views lost when you no longer need to return to the blog to for the information, as you will have your own copy. Plus! It helps fund supplies for new projects to share with you!

Materials:

  • Small Amount of Worsted Weight Yarn – I used Lily Sugar n Cream in Yellow, and my main color (MC) in Rose Pink, Blueberry, White & Red
  • H8/5mm Crochet Hook
  • Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends
  • Optional, Jewelry Pliers

Material Notes:

Yarn Alternatives to Lily Sugar n Cream: WeCrochet Dishie, Bernat’s Handicrafter, Red Heart’s Smoothie, Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran, Rico Creative Cotton Aran

As coasters, I recommend cotton yarn as cotton is more absorbent, but really any yarn will work – I have some coasters that I worked in Red Heart Super Saver that I use often. As an applique/motif, any yarn weight with respective hook will work.

Jewelry pliers are an excellent tool to use to help weave in ends, as cotton yarn can be quite tough on the fingers when weaving in with just fingers and a tapestry needle.

Time Spent:

Just over 15 minutes per flower.

Measurements:

Taken from the position of one petal at the top center, 3.75″ wide by 4.25″ from tip of top petal to tip of bottom petal

Gauge – Not Essential:

16 HDC by 10 Rows = 4″

Abbreviations:

  • SC – Single Crochet (Photo Tutorial)
  • DC – Double Crochet (Photo Tutorial)

Pattern Notes:

Beginning chain does not count as a stitch.

Join to the first stitch of the round, not the beginning chain.

How I worked my yarn color change: after joining, turn to the new working side. Pull the new color through, then pull the original color tight (it will disappear).

You can also work in the more traditional ways of pulling new color through in the last yarn over of the previous stitch (I do have a basic photo tutorial if needed – How to Change Yarn Colors in Crochet) or fastening off the center color, and rejoining the new color in any stitch, but I find the way I did it much easier, and it hides the color change.

I work my increases a little different than most, and that is that the first stitch from the first set of increases is done in the first stitch of the round, which will appear just to left of the beginning chain, then the round will be worked as normal, and the final stitch of the round will be the second stitch of the first set of increases, and it will be worked into the same stitch as the first, and appear just to the right of the beginning chain. You can see a photo tutorial of this in my How to Keep a Straight Seam post.

Though there are only three rounds, and a straight seam isn’t really an issue, this is my preferred method – you can work in your preferred increase method for the center as long as you end up with 24 stitches.

Pattern:

In Yellow, chain 5. Slip stitch to the first chain to form a ring. Chain 1. Work 12 DC into the ring. Join. (12 DC)

R2: Chain 2. DC into the 1st DC, 2 DC into each of the next 11 DC, DC into the same DC as the 1st. Join with MC, and fasten off Yellow. (24 DC)

R3: In MC, chain 1. SC into the 1st stitch, skip the next stitch, (3 DC, chain 2, 3 DC) into the next stitch, skip the next stitch, [SC into the next stitch, skip the next stitch, (3 DC, chain 2, 3 DC) into the next stitch, skip the next stitch] 5x. Join to the first DC of the round. (6 Petals, 6 SC)

Fasten off, and weave in ends.

Please feel free to make and sell your own Floral Coasters, but please DO NOT claim this pattern as your own nor should you sell my pattern, and DO NOT re-publish my photos as your own. DO NOT copy and paste my pattern anywhere, link to it instead.

    I’m thinking they’d look nice appliqués to clothing as well – but I’m weird. 😁 Pinned.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.
