Your Garden of Supplies: Materials You’ll Need

Before we start stitching, gather your colorful “yarn petals” and tools:

• Yarn:
  • Green Yarn: For the vibrant center of your daisy.
  • Pink Yarn (or your preferred petal color): For the cheerful petals.
  • White Yarn (or your preferred border color): For the crisp, defining border.
• Crochet Hook: A 2.75mm crochet hook is recommended, or a size appropriate for your chosen yarn weight to achieve a neat, dense fabric suitable for a coaster.
• Scissors: To snip your yarn.
• Yarn Needle: For weaving in ends.

Let’s Bloom: Step-by-Step Daisy Coaster Pattern

This tutorial will guide you through creating each part of your daisy, from the green center to the lovely white border.

Part 1: The Heart of the Daisy – The Green Center

We’ll start by crocheting a flat, dense circle that forms the core of your flower.

1. Magic Ring: Begin with a magic ring. This creates a tight, adjustable center for your work.
2. Round 1: Chain 2 (does not count as a stitch). Work 12 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight to close the center. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the first dc. (12 stitches)
3. Round 2: Chain 2. Work 2 dc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the top of the initial chain 2. (24 stitches)
4. Fasten off your green yarn, leaving a short tail to weave in.

Part 2: Petal Power – The Pink Petals

Now for the fun part – creating those lovely petals!

1. Attach Pink Yarn: With your green center facing you, attach your pink yarn to any stitch on the edge of the green circle with a slip stitch.
2. First Petal:
   • Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet).
   • Work 3 double crochets (dc) into the same stitch where you joined the yarn.
   • Chain 3.
   • Slip stitch (sl st) into the next stitch. This completes your first petal.
3. Repeat Petals:
   • *Slip stitch into the next stitch.
   • Chain 3.
   • Work 3 dc into the same stitch.
   • Chain 3.
   • Slip stitch into the next stitch.*
   • Repeat from * to * around the entire green circle until you have a full ring of petals. You should have 12 petals in total.
4. Fasten off your pink yarn, leaving a short tail to weave in.

Part 3: The Crisp Edge – The White Border

To give your daisy a polished, defined look, we’ll add a simple white border.

1. Attach White Yarn: Attach your white yarn with a slip stitch into any of the chain-3 spaces at the top of a petal (where you chained 3 before doing the 3 dc).
2. Working Around Petals:
   • Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch).
   • Work 1 single crochet (sc) into the same chain-3 space.
   • Work 1 sc into each of the next 3 dc stitches of the petal.
   • Work 1 sc into the next chain-3 space.
   • Work 1 sc into the next slip stitch (the one between petals, joining to the green center).
   • *Work 1 sc into the next chain-3 space (of the next petal).
   • Work 1 sc into each of the next 3 dc stitches of that petal.
   • Work 1 sc into the next chain-3 space.
   • Work 1 sc into the next slip stitch (between petals).*
   • Repeat from * to * around the entire coaster.
3. Join with a slip stitch to the first sc.
4. Fasten off your white yarn.
