Crochet Flower Coaster Pattern

Materials Needed

1. DK Yarn: Choose any color you like.
2. Crochet Hook: 3.5 mm.
3. Stitch Marker: To mark the beginning of each round.
4. Scissors: For cutting yarn after finishing rounds.
5. Yarn Needle: For weaving in ends neatly.

Special Techniques Used

• Magic Circle: To begin the base of the pot seamlessly.
• Back Loop Only Crochet: For shaping the sides of the pot.
• Slip Stitch and Chain Stitch: Used to create details like the lip of the pot.
• Increasing: Adding stitches in specific patterns to shape the pot.

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: Bottom of the Pot

1. Magic Circle and Round 1: Create a magic circle and crochet 6 single crochets (sc) inside the loop. Pull the yarn tail to tighten the circle.
2. Round 2: Increase in all 6 stitches (2 sc in each stitch); total = 12 stitches. Use the stitch marker at the start of this round.
3. Round 3: Alternate between 1 sc in a stitch and 1 increase in the next stitch; total = 18 stitches.
4. Round 4: Alternate between 2 sc in consecutive stitches and 1 increase in the next stitch; total = 24 stitches.
5. Round 5: Alternate between 3 sc in consecutive stitches and 1 increase in the next stitch; total = 30 stitches.
6. Round 6: Alternate between 4 sc in consecutive stitches and 1 increase in the next stitch; total = 36 stitches.
7. Rounds 7 to 10: Continue the increasing pattern:
   • Round 7: 5 sc + 1 increase; total = 42 stitches.
   • Round 8: 6 sc + 1 increase; total = 48 stitches.
   • Round 9: 7 sc + 1 increase; total = 54 stitches.
   • Round 10: 8 sc + 1 increase; total = 60 stitches.

Step 2: Sides of the Pot

1. Round 1: Crochet into the back loop only of each stitch. This forms the base of the sides. Total = 60 stitches.
2. Rounds 2 to 3: Crochet 1 sc in each stitch for two rounds, maintaining 60 stitches.
3. Increasing Rounds for Width:
   • Round 4: Crochet 19 sc + 1 increase. Repeat this pattern 3 times; total = 63 stitches.
   • Round 5: Crochet 1 sc in each stitch, no increases; total = 63 stitches.
   • Round 6: Crochet 20 sc + 1 increase. Repeat this pattern 3 times; total = 66 stitches.
   • Rounds 7 to 8: Crochet 1 sc in each stitch for two rounds, no increases; total = 66 stitches.

Step 3: Lip of the Pot

1. Round 1 (Front Loops Only):
   • Slip stitch and chain 1 into the first stitch.
   • Crochet into the front loops only for this round; total = 66 stitches.
2. Rounds 2 to 3: Skip the slip stitch and chain 1 made earlier and crochet 1 sc in each stitch for two rounds, maintaining 66 stitches.

Finishing the Pattern

1. Tie Off Yarn: After completing the final round, slip stitch and tie off the yarn. If you prefer, make a chain stitch before cutting the yarn to secure the knot.
2. Weave in Ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in the starting and finishing yarn tails. Split the yarn for a secure knot, if desired.

Final Words and Tips

• Versatility: This pot can hold the flower coasters as intended or be repurposed to store small items like jewelry, stationery, or accessories.
• Relax Your Tension: As highlighted in the video, keep your tension relaxed to make it easier to work with your stitches, especially in the magic circle.
• Stitch Marker Tip: Always move the marker to the start of the next round to avoid confusion.
• Customizing Size: If you want a larger or smaller pot, adjust the number of rounds and increases accordingly.
• Practice Techniques: Back loop and front loop crochet add texture, so practice these techniques before starting if you’re unfamiliar with them.

This pattern is a great introduction to creating 3D crochet items. With patience and following each step carefully, you will have a beautiful, functional pot ready to hold your coasters or other items.
