Crochet Flower Coaster
Use this pretty crochet flower coaster for your coffee cups, or as a facial scrubbie. It works up quick and easy, and be made with leftover yarns to clean up your yarn stash.
The red and white colors are perfect for Valentine’s, Christmas or for the Canadian Patriotic holiday. Choose any colors you like to match your home. I used two colors for one, and only one color for the next, and both turned out lovely.
There are 8 petals to this motif, so it’ll work perfectly for joining as many motifs as you like. Thus it should work to make a circular doily or a square blanket, whichever you prefer.
How it’s Made
This crochet coaster pattern is worked in rounds. It is started off with a chain-4 circle, but you can also start it with a magic ring. The first round is worked in puff stitches, but then after that it’s the basic crochet stitches along with chain spaces for a pretty design.
The Finished Size
The finished size measure 4 inches in diameter. It’s perfect for just about all cups and mugs, but can also be used as a scrubbie.
Recommended Yarn
As for yarn, I used a #4 cotton, Bernat Handicrafter Cotton. But any yarn will work depending on what you want to use this for. For a coaster and scrubbie I would recommend a cotton yarn. However, I’ve heard others say they prefer acrylic for a scrubbie, so it’s totally up to you.
Acrylic and other finer yarns would be great if crocheting a wrap or a blanket.
You could also try making it in thread to create a doily by piecing together several of these pretty motifs.

It is so wonderful to see someone else had the same idea as me about the flower coaster. Mine is alot different though. Mine is a rose. An I put two leaves on it. And I crocheted a silvery sparkly color across the top of the flower. The silver. Was supposed to represent my mom an dads silver wedding anniversary. My husband told me it wouldn’t work as coaster that it to be completely flat. I don’t know how to post a photo here. But, what do ypu think? How is yours working out?
