Are you having a floral-themed birthday party, bridal shower or a celebration party? Looking for some DIY party favors for your guests? Well, these Happy Spring Flower Coasters (free crochet patterns) are just the perfect thing!
Use bright and colorful yarn and bring life to your kitchen/dining table! Mix and match your colors – the possibilities are endless. I used Lily Sugar’n Cream, which is a 100% USA cotton worsted weight yarn, but you may use any yarn and hook you fancy. I chose cotton for its easy care, look and feel and I believe the cotton holds the shape of the coaster better. Bamboo is also a good choice!
Both coasters measure approx. 4.5 inches wide. It’s perfect for a cup, glass, coffee mug or even a vase with beautiful flowers! And while I’ve crocheted them as coasters, there are many other uses such as an embellishment for a blanket or a hat, make a whole bunch and connect them to make an afghan or a table runner, or simply hang several on the wall for decoration!

SUPPLIES
- Crochet hooks G/4.00mm
- Tapestry needle (I use Clover Chibi Bent Tip Needle Set)
- Worsted weight cotton yarn, I used the following:
NOTES
- Coaster measures approx. 4.5 inches wide.
- Changing colors: Pick up the new color and join by pulling up a loop in the stitch after the sl st join of the previous round.
- Gauge is not essential – just keep your tension consistent throughout.
ABBREVIATIONS
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
dc = double crochet
tr = treble crochet
sl st = slip stitch
sk = skip
st(s) = stitch(es)
rep = repeat
* – * = repeat instructions between asterisks as many times as directed
SPECIAL STITCHES
3-Double Crochet Puff Stitch:
Step #1. Start with a dc st, but do not pull through the last 2 loops (you should have 2 loops remain on the hook).
Step #2. In the same st, rep step #1 with working a dc but pulling through only the first 2 loops (you should have 3 loops remain on the hook).
Step #3. In the same st, rep step #1 again (you should have 4 loops remain on the hook).
Step #4. Lastly, yarn over and pull through all 4 loops on the hook.
One puff stitch completed! In summary, you’re starting a cluster of 3 dc stitches in the same stitch, but not finishing any of them until the end.
Picot: Ch 3, insert hook in first ch (3rd ch from hook), yarn over and pull through stitch & loop.
