Pattern Instructions

Follow the instructions below to create your Petalicious Crochet Coaster.

Round 1: Starting the Coaster

To begin, make a slip knot and create a foundation chain of three stitches. Join the first and last stitch using a slip stitch. This round will be a bit tight due to the small ring, so if you prefer, you can also use a magic ring technique instead. Chain one and work eight single crochets into the ring, crocheting around the tail of the yarn as you go. Join the first and last stitch with a slip stitch.

Round 2: Two Double Crochet Cluster

For this round, chain two, which will count as a double crochet. In the same stitch, create a two double crochet cluster. This cluster consists of yarn over, insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over, and pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull through two loops, then yarn over and go back into the same stitch, yarn over, and pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull through all three loops on your hook. This forms the first cluster. Chain two to create the third post. Repeat the two double crochet cluster and chain two in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch.

Round 3: Four Single Crochets

Begin this round with a slip stitch in the next stitch. Chain one and work four single crochets into the chain space. Skip the cluster stitch and work four single crochets in the next chain space. Repeat this pattern around. Join with a slip stitch.

Round 4: Three Double Crochet Cluster

Chain two for this round and create a two double crochet cluster in the first stitch. Chain two and skip the next stitch. In the following stitch, create a three double crochet cluster. Chain two and skip one stitch. Repeat this pattern around. Join with a slip stitch.

Round 5: Four Single Crochets

For this round, slip stitch into the next stitch. Chain one and work four single crochets into the chain space. Skip the cluster stitch and work four single crochets in the next chain space. Repeat this pattern around. Join with a slip stitch.

Finishing Touches

To finish the coaster, fasten off and weave in the ends using a yarn needle. You can make multiple coasters in different colors to create a beautiful set that matches your decor. These coasters also make great gifts for friends and loved ones.
