Crochet Flower Coasters
Hello, crochet friends! Thank you so much for stopping by to my vibrant corner of the online world! I'm so thrilled to have you here. Today, I have something fun to share with you - we're going to learn how to make colourful crochet flower coasters!
No matter if you're new to crocheting or have been doing it for years, this pattern is easy and fun for everyone. These coasters aren't just practical, they also bring a burst of colour to any room. As the heart and soul of any cosy home, our handmade coasters, blooming like a flower, will not just protect your beloved furniture from dreaded drink rings, but also infuse a breath of freshness into your living space.
Making your own crochet flower coasters is a great way to add a personal touch to your home. Plus, they make great gifts too! So grab your crochet hooks and your favourite colourful yarns. Let's dive into making these beautiful coasters together.
Keep up the great work, and enjoy your crocheting! And remember, every stitch we make is a stitch closer to bringing more colour and joy into our lives and our homes.
CONSTRUCTION+ YARN
This FLOWER- shaped coaster is worked in the round without turning at the end of each round. You will work 4 rounds in total in order to complete the coasters and the right side of your work will be always facing you.
I highly recommend using cotton yarn to make these coasters as it’s a great material for absorbing water and if you spill your drink and get them dirty you can just wash and dry them and they will look as good as new!
But if you decide to make the flowers and use them just as decorations then you can use any other material you may have at home, like acrylic yarn or even jute.
For this pattern I’ve used category 4- worsted yarn but you can also use a thinner yarn and make smaller flowers to create a garland or if you prefer use super chunky yarn and to make colourful flower cushions. The possibilities are endless!!
You can also use any colour combinations and make them as mine, using two colours or just make them in one colour or if your imagination is running wild mix and match any leftover yarn and create your own colour way for your coasters!
