Flower Crochet Coaster | Easy Crochet Ideas for Beginners
Based on Ngochan Crochet’s beginner‑friendly tutorial “Flower Crochet Coaster | Easy Crochet Ideas for Beginners”, here’s a clear, step‑by‑step written guide to make a blooming flower coaster that you can fold into a mini bouquet gift or table accent.
🌼 Materials You’ll Need
-
Light worsted or DK weight cotton yarn in two or three colors
-
Crochet hook (~3.5–4.5 mm)
-
Scissors and tapestry needle
-
(Optional) Thin ribbon or twine to tie coaster into bouquet
Step 1: Make the Center of the Flower
-
Form a magic ring (or ch‑4 and join with a slip stitch if preferred).
-
Round 1: Chain 1, work about 8 single crochets (sc) into the ring.
-
Pull the tail to tighten the ring, then slip‑stitch into the first sc to join.
Step 2: Round 2 – Expand the Center
-
Chain 2 (counts as your first stitch).
-
Work 2 dc into each sc around—creating a flat circle.
-
Slip‑stitch into the chain‑2 to join and finish the round.
Step 3: Round 3 – Form Base for Petals
-
Chain 1, then single crochet in the next stitch, chain 3, skip one stitch—repeat around so you have an even number of ch‑3 loops. These will form petal foundations.
-
Adjust chain‑3 length if you want larger petals.
Step 4: Round 4 – Create the Petals
-
Into each chain‑3 loop:
-
Chain 1,
-
Work 5 treble crochets (tr) into the loop (or 5 double crochets (dc) if using smaller yarn),
-
Chain 1,
-
Slip‑stitch back into the base stitch.
-
-
Repeat for each ch‑3 space around to create evenly spaced petals.
Step 5: Optional Extra Petal Layer
If you'd like a fuller flower:
-
Attach a contrasting color behind each petal base,
-
Repeat the petals pattern (chain 1, 5 tr/dc, chain 1, sl‑stitch back),
-
This creates a layered, 3D flower effect over the first.
Step 6: Finishing the Coaster Base
-
Once petals are complete, switch to a single crochet round in your main yarn color to unify the edges.
-
Join with a slip‑stitch, cut yarn and weave ends securely into the back.
Step 7: Turning into a Mini Bouquet (Optional)
-
Fold the coaster gently inward so petals form a cup.
-
Tie the folded coaster in the middle using thin ribbon, twine, or yarn.
-
Trim any excess ribbon and fluff petals for a charming bouquet centerpiece.
