Special Notes
- Join rounds as described for a nearly invisible finish.
- All joins after each round are made with the “invisible join” method: remove the hook, insert into top of next stitch, pull the last loop through to the back, then continue.
- The “bubble stitch” used for the leaves is crafted as a cluster of 5 incomplete dc, finished together.
- Petals and stems are attached after the main circle is complete.
Instructions
Coaster Base
With White yarn:
Round 1
- Make a slip knot, ch 4.
- Sl st in the first ch to form a ring.
- Ch 1, sc in the ring, ch 1 (sc + ch-1 count as first dc).
- Dc 11 in the ring (12 dc in total including first dc).
- Fasten with “invisible join”: Remove hook, insert into the top of the 2nd dc, pull last loop through back.
Round 2
- Ch 1, sc in same st, ch 1 (counts as first dc).
- 2 dc in same st.
- In each st around: 2 dc in each st (for 24 dc total at end of round).
- In last st (joining loop of previous round), finish with 2 dc.
- Join as before to top of 2nd dc (not initial sc+ch). (24 dc)
Round 3
- Ch 1, sc in same st, ch 1 (counts as first dc).
- 2 dc in same st.
- Dc in next st, 2 dc in following st.
- Rep from * to * around. In last repeat, make final dc in joining loop of previous round. (36 dc)
- Join using invisible join.
Round 4
- Ch 1, sc in same st, ch 1 (counts as first dc).
- 2 dc in same st.
- Dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st.
- [Dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st]; repeat around (total 48 dc).
- Make last dc in joining loop of previous round.
- Join using invisible join.
Round 5 (last base round)
- Ch 1, sc in same st, ch 1 (counts as first dc).
- 2 dc in same st.
- Dc in next 3 sts, 2 dc in next st.
- [Dc in next 3 sts, 2 dc in next st]; repeat around.
- On final repeat: after the first dc of the 2 dc, do not finish the second dc—instead, pull through green yarn for the leaf section.
Leaves (Bubble Stitch with Green)
- After changing to green, ch 1 to secure.
- In next st, work a bobble:
- [Yo, insert hook in stitch, yo, pull up a loop, yo, pull through 2] 5 times (total 5 incomplete dc; 6 loops on hook).
- Yo, pull through all 6 loops, ch 2.
- In following st, repeat bubble stitch (as above), ch 1, pull through initial white yarn, and ch 1; pull tight to secure.
- Dc in next st using white yarn.
- Repeat: Two leaves are worked per flower. After the second flower’s leaves, continue as normal:
- Continue [2 dc in one st, then dc in next 3 sts] repeat until round end.
- After final dc, finish with invisible join as before.
Flower Petals (Red or Color of Choice, Worked Over Leaves)
Repeat for Each Leaf Cluster:
- With red yarn, make a slip knot.
- Insert hook at the top of the first bubble (leaf).
- (Petal)
- Sc in bubble, ch 3, 5 dc in same st, ch 3, sl st in same st.
- Middle space between leaves: sl st in space, ch 3, 5 dc in same sp, ch 3, sl st in same sp.
- Repeat on second bubble as for the first.
- Fasten off, weave in tail securely.
Stems (Green)
- With green yarn, insert hook at the base (between leaves).
- Embroidery style chain stitch stem:
- Pull up loop, then work series of surface slip stitches or chain stitches, anchoring each into the previous round, tracing a stem shape downwards on the coaster.
- Continue until the stem is as long as desired; fasten off and weave in end.
- Repeat for other flower.
Finishing
- Weave in all yarn tails securely.
- Block coaster for best shape.
Conclusion
You have created a garden-inspired crochet coaster with textured leaves, bright flowers, and raised stems. This design is perfect for a spring or summer table setting or as a thoughtful handmade gift.
Pattern Correction
- When joining rounds: always join to the top of the second true dc, not the initial sc + ch-1 combination.
- Leaves (bobble stitches) are made as 5 incomplete dc into one st, closed together, followed by chain stitches to create a pronounced leaf.
Tips
- For added color, use different shades for petals, leaves, or even the coaster base.
- Adjust yarn weight and hook size for different coaster sizes or motifs.
- Take care weaving in ends, especially at leaf and flower attachments, to keep work neat.
- Block your coaster with light steam for the best finished look.
