Step-by-Step Pattern Instructions
Round 1: The Center
Begin with a magic ring using your yellow yarn. Work 6 sc into the MR, then pull the tail tight to close the circle securely. Join with a sl st to the first sc. [6 sts]
Round 2: Expanding the Base
Chain 1, work 2 sc in each st around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. [12 sts]
Round 3: Petal Foundation
Switch to your petal color (white). Chain 1, work 2 hdc in each st around to build height and texture for the petals. Join with a sl st to the first hdc. [24 sts]
Round 4: Forming the Daisy Petals
Chain 2 (counts as first dc). Work a combination of stitches (such as multiple dc worked together) into the same space to create a rounded petal effect, then skip stitches and repeat evenly around to form your classic daisy shape. Join with a sl st. Fasten off. [18 sts]
Assembly & Finishing Touches
Carefully weave in all remaining yarn tails using your tapestry needle to prevent any unraveling over time.
If your petals curl slightly, lightly steam block your finished coaster and lay it flat to dry completely so it sits perfectly flat on any table surface.
Pro Tips for Flawless Results
- Maintain consistent tension throughout your rounds to prevent the coaster from curling or ruffling.
- Count your stitches at the end of every round to guarantee a symmetrical, balanced flower shape.
- Always choose durable, absorbent cotton yarn so your coasters handle moisture and heat with ease.

Can I wash these crochet coasters?
