Step-by-Step Crochet Instructions
1. Coaster Base (White Color)
- Foundation:
- Use half-white yarn. Create a magic circle. Alternatively, chain 4, slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring.
- Round 1:
- Ch 2 (Does not count as a stitch).
- Make 12 dc into the magic circle.
- Join with a sl st into the first dc of the round.
(12 stitches total)
- Round 2 (Increase Round):
- Ch 2 (Does not count as a stitch).
- In the same st: Work 2 dc.
- Ch 1. Work 2 dc in the next st.
- Repeat: (2 dc, ch 1) in each stitch around.
- Sl st into the first dc of the round to join. (Total: 24 stitches with 12 ch 1 spaces)
- Round 3 (Continue Increasing):
- Ch 2.
- Work 1 dc in the first st and 2 dc in the next st. Ch 1.
- Repeat: (1 dc in the first st, 2 dc in the next st, ch 1) around.
- Sl st to join. (Stitch count increases by 12 in every round.)
- Repeat for Additional Rounds:
- Continue following a similar increase pattern (dc across with one increase per group at the last stitch of every group) until your desired size is achieved.
- Example: Row 4 will have 3 dc before the increase, and Row 5 will have 4 dc before the increase.
2. Leaf Border (Green Color)
- Attach Green Yarn:
- Sl st into any stitch to join green yarn.
- Round 1:
- Ch 1.
- In the same stitch: Sc.
- Ch 3, skip 2 stitches. In the next stitch: Sc.
- Repeat: (Ch 3, skip 2 sts, sc in the next st) around.
- Sl st to the starting sc. (24 chain spaces form the base for leaves.)
- Round 2 (Leaf Details):
- In the first ch-3 space: Sc, dc, ch 3, sl st (to form a picot), dc, sc.
- Move to the next ch-3 space and repeat: (Sc, dc, ch 3, sl st, dc, sc).
- Continue working the leaf details around.
- Sl st to the first sc to join.
3. Rose Decoration (Red or Pink Yarn)
- Foundation Petals:
- Using the red or pink yarn, start with 9 chains.
- In the 3rd chain from the hook, work 3 dc.
- In the next 6 chains, work 3 dc in each stitch.
- You now have a long strip of double crochets forming a petal base.
- Form Rose Spiral:
- Starting at one end, roll the long strip into a spiral (like a rose).
- Secure the back with stitches using a needle and yarn.
- Attach to the Coaster:
- Skip 2 leaf sections on the green base, and sew the rose onto the single crochet stitch of the coaster. Secure tightly with the yarn needle.
Finishing Touches
- Weave in Ends: Use the yarn needle to hide and secure any loose yarn ends.
- Shape the Coaster: Gently block the coaster to ensure it lays flat. Steam blocking works well for acrylic and wool yarns.
- Optional Additions: You can add multiple flowers or embroider additional details to personalize your coaster.
