Motif + Coaster = WOW Factor!

✂️ Materials Needed:

• 100% Cotton Yarn (choose 3–4 vibrant colors)

• Crochet hook (recommended size: 3.5mm – 4mm)

You should know basic crochet stitches like:

• Magic Ring

• Slip Stitch (sl st)

• Single Crochet (sc)

• Double Crochet (dc)

• Treble Crochet (tr)

• Picot (optional for edging)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Create the Flower Center

1. Magic Ring, ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), work 11 dc into the ring. (12 dc total)

2. Pull ring closed and sl st into the top of ch 3 to join.

3. Change color for petals.

Step 2: Crochet the Petals (Motif Look!)

1. Ch 2, dc, tr, dc, ch 2 in each stitch around (12 petals total).

2. Sl st to base of first petal to close the round.

3. Fasten off or change color again for layered effect.

Step 3: Add Coaster Base (Make it Functional)

1. Join new color in any stitch behind petals.

2. Work 1 sc in each stitch around, increasing as needed to form a flat circle (approx. 36–48 stitches depending on size).

3. Continue working in the round with dc stitches to widen the base (3–5 rounds).

4. Ensure the circle lays flat—adjust increases if needed.

Step 4: Decorative Edge (Optional WOW ✨)

• Try a picot edge (ch 3, sl st into first ch) every 3–5 stitches.

• Or use contrasting yarn to sl st around for a pop of color.
