Crochet Sunflower Coaster Tutorial

This video provides a tutorial on how to crochet a sunflower coaster. The project uses four-ply brown acrylic yarn for the center and five-ply yellow acrylic yarn for the petals. You will also need a 4.5 mm hook and scissors.

Creating the Center

The process begins with the brown yarn to create the center of the sunflower.

First, a slip knot is made and a chain is created and closed into a circle.
The first round involves working double crochets inside the circle.

The second round consists of working two double crochets in each stitch from the previous round.
The third round follows a pattern of one double crochet and then two double crochets in alternating stitches to increase the size of the center.

Adding the Petals

After completing the center, you will switch to the yellow yarn for the petals.

The tutorial guides you to start a new round by chaining, skipping a stitch, and then doing a single crochet in the next stitch. This creates a foundation of chain spaces around the brown center.
The petals are then worked into these chain spaces. Each petal is made by following a sequence of stitches: a half double crochet, followed by two double crochets, two treble crochets, two double crochets, and finally another half double crochet.

After each petal is finished, a slip stitch is made in the next chain space to move on to the next petal.

Once all the petals are complete, the yarn is cut and secured, and the ends are woven in to finish the coaster. The video suggests using four or five-ply acrylic yarn to make a firm coaster, and that using a thicker yarn or two strands together can result in a thicker final product.
