Step-by-Step Instructions
Introduction to the Project
Start by preparing your yarn and hook. Choose your preferred color for the flower's center.
Step 1: Create the Center
- Magic Circle: Begin with a magic circle. Wrap yarn over your finger, and insert the hook under the yarn. Pull a loop through to form the circle.
- Round 1: Chain 2 (does not count as a stitch). Make 10 double crochets (DC) into the circle. Pull the yarn tail to close the circle. Slip stitch into the first DC to join.
Step 2: Form the Flower Petals
- Round 2: Chain 2 (does not count). Work 2 DCs in each stitch around (20 DCs). Slip stitch into the first DC to join.
- Round 3: Change to petal color. In the first stitch, make a half double crochet (HDC) and a DC. In the next, make 3 DCs. Continue around: HDC + DC in one stitch, 3 DCs in the next.
Step 3: Add Definition with Rounds
- Round 4: Follow the sequence: HDC, DC, 2 DCs in each of the next three stitches, DC, HDC. Repeat around.
- Round 5 (Optional for Border): Single crochet around for all stitches. At slip stitch points, use long single crochet into two rows below to highlight petal divisions.
Conclusion
Upon completing the rounds, slip stitch into the initial stitch to secure. Fasten off and weave in ends. Enjoy your charming and versatile flower coaster! These are not only practical but are also delightful decorative pieces.
Tip
To make seamless joins between color changes, ensure to work over yarn tails and secure them firmly. Consider using a yarn needle to discreetly weave tails into the back stitches, ensuring a neat finish.
