Flower Coaster

Add a pop of floral beauty to your table with this lovely flower coaster. Puff-stitch petals radiate from a magic circle center, creating a bloom that is genuinely functional — about 5 1/2 inches across, big enough for your largest mug with petals to spare.

This is a quick, happy little make, worked from the center out — and I include notes for sizing it up or down, so you can keep going until it becomes a trivet or a mini doily. If anything trips you up, my YouTube channel has videos to help.

You will need a J hook (6 mm), size 4 cotton yarn (cotton keeps it flat and handles hot mugs beautifully), a tapestry needle, and scissors. Stitches used are the magic circle, chains, slip stitch, double crochet, puff, and cluster puff — all explained step by step.
