A small burst of color can brighten a table, especially when it begins with yarn forming a cheerful bloom.

Its friendly center and petal-like edges add a joyful touch to mugs, cups, side tables, and workspaces while offering reliable surface protection.
Blissful Crochet Smile Flower Coaster Pattern for Table Settings
Cotton yarn helps absorb moisture, keeps mugs steady, and gives each coaster a smooth feel that suits daily use. It also works well as a decorative accent on shelves or as a small handmade gift that spreads positivity. Its balanced shape makes it suitable for both casual settings and themed decor, offering a bright accent wherever it is placed.
Because it is lightweight and quick to finish, it encourages fun color choices that suit kitchens, offices, and cozy corners around the home. To try it yourself, begin with a center circle, form the smiling middle, shape the petals, finish with a neat border, and secure your final stitches carefully at the end.
The smooth structure makes it comfortable to handle, while the charming smile adds personality that lifts moods during routine moments like coffee breaks or study sessions.

Step-by-Step Details
You will learn how to crochet a charming Big Smile Flower Coaster or Scrubber. The project involves creating a two-layered, flat circular piece with a distinctive smiling face and a decorative petal border. The two layers ensure the final item is sturdy and practical without being overly thick.
Conclusion
You have created a charming and practical two-layered flower accessory. The combination of the clean circular base, the cheerful embroidered face, and the scalloped petal border results in a handmade item that brightens any kitchen or table.
Tip
When you embroider the eyes, you should make the stitches 2-3 times in the same location. This ensures the black yarn is thick enough to stand out clearly against the main color of the face.
