How it’s done

The project starts with a magic ring using white yarn for the center, followed by rounds of half double crochets, which gradually increase. Switching to red yarn, you crochet the petals, using double crochets to add shape. The final touch includes working single crochets and double crochets to finish the petals, then adding green leaves and a stem using simple chain stitches.

The tutorial emphasizes the ease of material transition and the importance of stitch markers. After fastening off and weaving in ends, glue the leaf to the stem to complete the coaster. The instructor encourages sharing your creations on social media and staying tuned for more tutorials.

Personalization Tips:

Here are some personalization tips to make your flower coaster unique and tailored to your style:

Choose Your Favorite Colors: Switch up the yarn colors to match your home décor, favorite palette, or seasonal themes. For instance, try pastel shades for spring or bold, vibrant hues for summer.
Experiment With Yarn Types: While cotton yarn is ideal, consider experimenting with textured or blended yarns for a unique look. For example, sparkly, gradient, or hand-dyed yarn can add character.
Add Embellishments: Enhance your coaster by sewing on beads, buttons, or embroidering patterns onto the petals or stem to give it a more decorative touch.
Shape Variations: Modify the design by experimenting with petal shapes or lengths. Try making layered or overlapping petals for a whimsical effect.
