Materials & Tools Needed
- Yarn: Worsted weight (Medium/4) cotton yarn. Cotton is absorbent, durable, and heat-resistant, making it ideal for coasters. You will need yellow (for the center) and white (for the petals), plus a background color if desired.
- Crochet Hook: US Size G/6 (4.0 mm) or a size down from your yarn’s recommendation to keep the stitches nice and firm.
- Notions: Yarn needle for weaving in ends, and a pair of sharp scissors.
Abbreviations & Pattern Notes
- US Terms
- Ch: Chain
- Sl st: Slip stitch
- Sc: Single crochet
- Dc: Double crochet
- Tr: Treble crochet
- St(s): Stitch(es)
- Rnd: Round
- Note: The coaster is worked in the round. Maintain a consistent, firm tension to ensure your coaster lies completely flat.
Step-by-Step Pattern Instructions
- Round 1 (Center): Using your yellow yarn, start with a magic ring. Ch 1, work 10 sc into the ring. Pull the tail tight to close the circle. Join with a sl st to the first sc. Fasten off yellow. (10 sts)
- Round 2 (Petals): Join your white yarn in any stitch around the center. Ch 3 (counts as first dc). In the same stitch, work (2 tr, ch 2, 3 dc) to form the first petal. *Skip the next st, sl st into the following st, ch 3, work (2 tr, ch 2, 3 dc) in the same st.* Repeat from * to * around the entire circle. Join with a sl st to the top of the initial ch-3. (5 petals total)
- Round 3 (Optional Border): If you want a cleaner edge or a larger coaster, switch to a contrasting background color. Sl st into any ch-2 petal space, ch 1, work (2 sc, ch 1, 2 sc) in each ch-2 space around, working a sl st between petals. Join with a sl st to the first sc.
Finishing & Helpful Tips
- Weave in ends securely: Because coasters see frequent use and regular washing, use your yarn needle to weave in all loose tails under several stitches on the back side before trimming.
- Block for a flat finish: If your petals curl slightly, lightly steam or block your finished coasters by pinning them flat on a towel until dry.
- Choose cotton: Always stick to 100% cotton yarn rather than acrylic. Acrylic can melt or warp when exposed to hot mugs of coffee or tea.
- Easy care instructions: To keep your daisy coasters looking fresh, gently hand wash them in cool water with mild soap and lay them flat to dry.
