Round 1: Starting the Doily Coaster

To begin the doily coaster, start by making a magic circle. Once you have made the magic circle, create a chain of three stitches, counting as your first double crochet. Work one double crochet into the magic circle. This will be the first cluster of two double crochets. Chain two, and then create the second cluster by working two double crochet stitches together. Continue this pattern, adding two more clusters with chain two spaces, until you have a total of eight clusters. Finish off the round by joining with a slip stitch into the top of the first double crochet cluster.

Round 2: Working Clusters of Double Crochets

In this round, you will be working into the chain two spaces from the previous round. Make a slip stitch into the first chain two space, then chain three (counting as one double crochet). Work one double crochet into the same space, creating the first cluster of two double crochets. Chain two, and make another cluster of two double crochets into the same space. Repeat this pattern for each chain two space around the doily. Join with a slip stitch into the top of the first double crochet cluster to finish off the round.

Round 3: Creating Flower Petals

To create the flower petals on the doily, start by making a slip stitch into the first chain two space of the previous round. Chain one, then make a single crochet into the same space. Chain three, and make a double crochet into the top of the single crochet at the base of your chain. Chain one, and make another single crochet into the next chain two space. Repeat this pattern for each chain two space around the doily, creating a total of 16 flower petals. Join with a slip stitch into the top of the first single crochet to finish off the round.

Optional: Stopping at Round 3 for a Smaller Doily

If you prefer a smaller doily coaster, you can choose to stop at Round 3. Simply fasten off and weave in any yarn ends. This smaller version of the doily coaster will be approximately eight and a half centimeters across.

Round 4: Adding More Petals

For those who want to continue and make a larger doily coaster, Round 4 is the next step. Make a slip stitch into the first chain three space from the previous round. Chain one, then make a single crochet into the same space. Chain three, and make a single crochet into the next chain three space. Repeat this pattern for each chain three space around the doily, creating a total of 16 petals. Join with a slip stitch into the top of the first single crochet to finish off the round.

Round 5: Increasing the Size of the Coaster

To increase the size of the doily coaster, make a slip stitch into the first chain three space of the previous round. Chain three, counting as one double crochet. Make one regular double crochet into the same space, then chain one. Make two more double crochets into the same space, creating a total of four double crochets separated by one chain. Move on to the next chain three space and repeat this pattern. Continue around the doily, ensuring each chain three space has four double crochets. Join with a slip stitch into the third chain from the bottom to finish off the round.

Round 6: Continuing the Increase

In Round 6, make a slip stitch into the top of the next double crochet. Then make another slip stitch into the chain one space. Chain three, counting as one double crochet. Make one double crochet into the same space, then chain one. Make two more double crochets into the same space, creating a total of four double crochets separated by one chain. Move on to the next chain one space and repeat this pattern. Continue around the doily, ensuring each chain one space has four double crochets. Join with a slip stitch into the third chain from the bottom to finish off the round.

Round 7: Finishing the Coaster

For the final round, chain one (which won't count as a stitch). Make a single crochet back into the same chain one space. Then chain two and make three double crochets into the first chain one space. Chain two and skip two stitches. Into the next stitch, make a single crochet. Repeat this pattern for each chain one space around the doily. Join with a slip stitch into the top of the first single crochet to finish off the round.
