Materials & Tools Needed
- Yarn: 100% Cotton yarn in two colors (Yellow for the center and White for the petals). Cotton is recommended for its durability, heat resistance, and absorbency.
- Hook: Size G/4.0mm (or a hook size appropriate for your chosen yarn weight to ensure a tight, sturdy stitch).
- Notions: Yarn needle for weaving in ends and scissors.
Abbreviations & Pattern Notes
- US Terms used: ch (chain), sl st (slip stitch), sc (single crochet), dc (double crochet), tr (treble crochet), st(s) (stitch/stitches).
- Notes: Maintain even tension throughout to ensure your coasters lie flat. Work over your tail ends as you go to minimize weaving later.
Step-by-Step Pattern Instructions
- The Center (Yellow): Ch 4, join with a sl st to the first chain to create a small ring. Ch 1, work 12 sc into the center of the ring. Join with a sl st to the first sc and fasten off. (12 sts)
- The Petals (White): Join white yarn in any stitch. Ch 2, then work 2 dc in the same stitch. In each subsequent stitch around, work 3 dc. (Total: 36 dc).
- Finishing the Petals: To create the rounded petal look, sl st into the space between the 3-dc clusters around the entire round. Join with a sl st to the beginning of the round and fasten off.
Finishing & Helpful Tips
- Weaving Ends: Use your yarn needle to weave in your starting and ending tails securely on the reverse side of the coaster to keep your floral center looking neat and professional.
- Blocking: If your coasters curl slightly after finishing, give them a light steam press or dampen them and lay them flat on a towel to dry. This helps the stitches relax and ensures the coaster stays perfectly circular.
- Tension Matters: If your coaster feels too loose, drop down a hook size. You want the stitches to be tight enough to provide a solid barrier between your drink and your furniture.
- Care Instructions: Since these are made of cotton, they are easy to care for! Simply hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry to keep your daisy crochet coasters looking fresh and vibrant for years to come.
