Special Features of the Daisy Coaster
- The design resembles a pretty daisy flower, making it both functional and visually appealing.
- Uses simple crochet techniques, including a magic ring, double crochet, treble crochet clusters, and half-double crochet.
- The outer green border adds a unique “leaf-like” detail with pointed edges, thanks to the picot stitch.
Step-by-Step Crochet Instructions
1. Start with the Yellow Center (Round 1)
- Technique: Begin with a magic ring, hold the tail of the yarn, and create an “X” on your fingers.
- Slip the hook under the first loop, over the second loop, and twist it to start your chain.
- Chain 1 and make 12 double crochets (DC) into the magic ring. Ensure your loop stays tight.
- Close the round by connecting to the first stitch using a slip stitch.
- Fasten off your yarn and secure it with a knot.
2. Create the White Petals (Round 2)
- Attach the white yarn to any stitch from the previous round.
- Chain 2 (this counts as the first treble crochet).
- Work 2 treble crochets together into the same stitch to form a treble crochet cluster.
- Yarn over twice, insert the hook into the stitch, pull up a loop, and pull through two loops at a time until all three stitches are joined into one.
- Chain 2, then repeat the pattern around, forming 12 petals in total.
- At the end of the round, connect to the first stitch and fasten off your yarn.
3. Add the Green Border (Round 3)
- Attach your green yarn to any chain-two space from the petals round.
- In each chain-two space, crochet:
- 2 half-double crochets (HDC),
- Chain 1,
- 2 more half-double crochets.
- Skip to the next chain-two space and repeat this pattern.
- Continue until you complete the circle and connect the last stitch to the starting point.
4. Complete the Leafy Outer Edge (Round 4)
- In the chain-one spaces from the green border:
- Crochet 3 double crochets (DC).
- Create a picot stitch by chaining three and slipping the hook into the first chain.
- Crochet 3 more double crochets in the same space.
- Skip one stitch and slip into the next to anchor the leaf.
- Continue this pattern around the entire piece.
- Close the final stitch, fasten off, and weave in any remaining yarn tails.
Level of Difficulty
- Beginner-friendly: This tutorial is well-suited for crocheters with basic skills. While it uses some advanced stitches (like clusters and picots), they are explained step-by-step.
- The project can take 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete, depending on your skill level and speed.
Tutor’s Suggestions
- Use a 4mm hook, but feel free to adjust the size if using different yarn weights.
- Keep your tension consistent for a more polished result.
- The tutor emphasizes knotting and weaving ends securely to avoid unraveling.
- Blocking is optional but can help flatten and shape the coaster if needed. Wet the piece lightly and pin it in place on a soft board to dry.
