How to Crochet the Flower Coaster
Step 1 – Start the Center Using your center color, make a magic ring. Work 6 sc into the ring, then join with a sl st to the first stitch. (6 sts)
Step 2 – Build the Petal Round Switch to your petal color. In each stitch around, work (sc, ch 2, sl st) to form one petal. Repeat around until you have 6 petals. Fasten off and weave in the center-color end.
Step 3 – Add a Second Petal Layer (Optional) For a fuller flower, join a new round of yarn behind the first layer of petals and repeat the petal stitch, offsetting each petal between the ones below.
Step 4 – Finish the Coaster Weave in all ends. Lightly steam or block the flower so the petals lie flat.
Repeat Steps 1–4 to make as many flower coasters as you’d like in your set.

Step 3 – Work the Sides Once the base is the right size, sc in each stitch around without increasing for 3–4 rounds to form the sides of the pot.
