About This Flower Coasters Pattern

This pattern creates pretty floral-shaped coasters worked in two strands of DK yarn held together for a chunky, textured look. Each coaster finishes to approximately 12cm in diameter and uses a simple petal round to create the flower shape. The pattern is written in UK crochet terms and includes full round-by-round instructions and stitch abbreviations for easy following. These coasters are a lovely stash-buster and make great gifts or colourful home accents.

Why You'll Love This Flower Coasters Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns small amounts of leftover yarn into something beautiful and useful. I enjoy how quickly each coaster works up, giving you fast, satisfying results and a colourful set within a short time. I also love the look achieved by holding two strands together — it creates a tweedy, textured finish that feels handcrafted and special. Making a set feels rewarding and I always enjoy gifting a stack of these to friends who appreciate handmade home decor.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with colours, and this coaster pattern is perfect for mixing two yarn shades to create a tweedy or marled effect.

You can switch up the look by using a bold colour paired with a neutral for contrast or two bright shades for a rainbow feel.

To make a smaller or larger coaster, try using a finer yarn with a smaller hook for minis, or a bulkier yarn with a larger hook for chunky coasters.

I often hold a DK and a light aran together for a unique texture; try different combinations to see what you like best.

I sometimes change the petal shape by adjusting the number of trebles in the petal round; more trebles makes fuller petals, fewer makes a neater edge.

Try adding a round of single crochet around the edge in a contrasting colour to frame the flower and add durability to the coaster.

I also like to experiment with variegated yarn held with a solid to create subtle tonal blooms that look complex but are easy to make.

Blocking the finished coasters lightly can help open up the petals and give a more professional finish; pin to shape and spray with water.

For a different effect, embroider a small centre or sew on a button for a decorative focal point that transforms the coaster into a tiny ornament.

I encourage you to personalise each set—make matching placemats, or combine coaster colours to reflect seasons, holidays or room palettes.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Using only one strand of yarn instead of two will change the texture and size; hold two strands together as instructed to achieve the correct gauge and look. ✗ Forgetting to count the chain stitch that counts as your first stitch can throw off stitch counts; always count the ch2 as 1 tr at the start of each round. ✗ Not closing the magic circle tightly leaves a hole in the center; pull the magic circle closed firmly before joining the first round. ✗ Skipping the slip stitch join or turning incorrectly can misalign rounds; join and turn exactly as written at the end of each round for correct shaping.

Notes on Pattern: This pattern is written in UK Crochet Terms and is for 1 Flower Coaster/12cm diameter. A magic circle is used to begin. (Please feel free to use ch 4, slst in 1st ch to form a ring instead). A ch 2 is used as a starting stitch at the beginning of rounds and is counted as 1 st throughout. Chain stitches are included in stitch counts. Stitches within brackets should be worked into the same st or sp together.

Infos :

Stitch abbreviations: Ch/s = chain/s htr = half treble tr = treble slst/s = slip stitch/es sp/s = space/s st/s = stitch/es (2 tr, ch 1, 2 tr) = fan stitch

Info :

Using 2 strands of yarn together, form a magic circle to begin. Work all Round 1 sts into magic circle.

Round 1 :

ch 2 (counts as 1 tr), 8 tr into magic circle. Join with slst into top of ch 2. Close magic circle. Turn work. (9 sts in magic circle)

Round 2 :

ch 2, tr into sp between 1st and last st of round below, ch 1, *2 tr into space between next 2 sts below, ch 1.* Repeat from * to * 7 more times. Join with slst into top of ch 2. Turn work. (27 sts)

Round 3 :

ch 2, tr into ch 1 sp, ch 1, 2 more tr into same ch 1 sp. Skip 2 sts. *fan stitch (2 tr, ch 1, 2 tr) into next ch 1 sp.* Repeat from * to * 7 more times. Join with slst into top of ch 2. Do not turn work. (45 sts)

Round 4 :

(Petal round) Slst into next tr st and ch 1 sp. Ch 2 (counts as 1 htr), (4 tr, htr) into same ch 1 sp. Skip 2 sts. Slst into sp between fan sts. (1st Petal complete). *(htr, 4 tr, htr) into next ch 1 sp. Skip 2 sts. Slst into space between fan sts.* Repeat from * to * 7 more times. (63 sts)

Info :

To finish your last round, join with either a slst into the top of your 1st st, or create an Invisible Join. Snip of yarn tail and pull through top of last st, thread a darning needle and insert front to back through top of 2nd st in round, then back down through top of last st. Weave in behind work.

Info :

AFTER CARE: Hand wash or wipe clean only.

Assembly Instructions

  • Finish the round by joining with a slip stitch into the top of the first stitch or use an Invisible Join for a seamless finish.
  • Snip yarn tail and pull through the top of the last stitch, thread a darning needle and insert front to back through the top of the 2nd stitch in the round, then back down through top of last stitch and weave in behind work securely.
  • Weave in all loose ends on the back of the coaster, tucking the tail back through a few stitches to secure and trimming any excess.
  • If desired, lightly block the coaster by pinning into shape and spraying with water to flatten petals and ensure an even 12cm diameter.

Important Notes

  • 💡Work with two strands of DK yarn held together consistently to achieve the correct texture and gauge for each coaster.
  • 💡A ch2 is used as the starting stitch and counts as 1 tr—include this in your stitch counts for each round.
  • 💡You may substitute the magic circle start with ch4 and slst to form a ring if you prefer, but ensure the center is closed tightly.

These colourful Flower Coasters are joyful, quick to make and perfect for brightening any table or gifting to a friend. Handmade charm meets stash-busting practicality in each petal-shaped piece.
