Easy Crochet Coaster Tutorial
The tutorial guides you through creating a stunning flower coaster using crochet techniques in vibrant colors. From forming a magic ring to adding textured layers of petals, every step is explained in detail.
Introduction
- The tutorial demonstrates how to crochet a vibrant and decorative flower coaster.
- The design uses basic crochet techniques like chaining and double crochets.
- The materials required are yarn in two colors and a crochet hook.
- The tutorial is beginner-friendly with clear, step-by-step guidance.
Round 1: Creating the Base
- Begin by forming a magic ring.
- Wrap the yarn around two fingers to create an “X” shape and pull a loop through.
- Chain to start and make double crochets into the ring, with chain spaces separating them.
- After completing the required number of double crochets, pull the yarn tightly to close the magic ring.
- Connect the round by slip stitching into the starting chain.
Round 2: Adding Texture
- Start the next round by chaining and transitioning into the chain spaces from the previous round.
- In each chain space, work multiple double crochets separated by a chain.
- Repeat this sequence around the circle to add a textured layer to the coaster.
- Slip stitch into the starting chain to close the round.
Round 3: Expanding the Flower
- Transition to the next round by slip stitching into the chain spaces where the new stitches will be worked.
- Begin building groups of three double crochets in each chain space.
- Between each group, add a chain to maintain spacing.
- Continue this process around, creating denser layers of petals.
- Finish the round with a slip stitch and trim the yarn if changing colors.
Round 4: Adding a New Color
- Attach a new yarn color to a chain space from the previous round.
- In each chain space, make groups of four double crochets to simulate fuller flower petals.
- Separate each petal group with a single chain.
- Complete this sequence for all chain spaces and finish the round with a slip stitch.
Round 5: Adding Decorative Loops
- Reattach the first yarn color for a decorative layer.
- Work chain loops by chaining and slip stitching between double crochets from the previous round.
- Alternate between chain spaces and specific stitches to create a looped border around the coaster.
- Complete the round by slip stitching into the starting chain space.
Round 6: Finalizing Petal Design
- Build the final petal layer by working multiple double crochets into each chain loop from the previous round.
- Alternate between crocheting petals and slip stitching to the next loop to maintain shape and structure.
- Continue around the piece until all loops are completed.
- Finish by slip stitching into the starting chain and cutting the yarn.
