🪷 Pattern Overview

You’ll be working in the round, beginning with a small circle and expanding outwards into two layers of petals, alternating colors to form stripes. The final border round creates a uniform, stable edge.

🔁 Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions

✅ STEP 1: Center Circle – Color A

1. Create a magic ring (or ch 4 and join with sl st to form a ring).
2. Ch 2 (does not count as a stitch), then 12 dc into the ring.
3. Pull the ring tight and join with sl st to the first dc.

➡️ You now have 12 stitches forming a tight circle for the center.

📌 Color Change Tip: After joining, FO Color A and join Color B in any dc from the round.

✅ STEP 2: Inner Petal Foundation – Color B

In this round, you’re setting up spaces to place the petals.

1. Join Color B with a sl st into any dc.
2. Ch 3, skip 1 st, sl st in next st – repeat this around the circle.

➡️ You should now have 6 chain-3 loops around the center.

📌 These loops will be the base for the inner petals.

---

✅ STEP 3: Inner Petals – Color B

Continue with Color B for petals (or change to Color C for a stripe contrast).

1. In the first ch-3 loop, work:
   • (sc, dc, tr, dc, sc) – 1 full petal.
2. Repeat in each loop around (6 total petals).
3. Sl st to the base of the first petal to join.

➡️ You now have a small flower shape with 6 inner petals.

📌 Color Transition Option: FO and join Color C in back loop of any original dc (behind the petal).

✅ STEP 4: Outer Petal Base – Color C

You’ll now create foundation loops for the outer petals, worked behind the inner layer.

1. Working behind the inner petals:
   • Ch 4, sl st into skipped dc between petals – repeat around.
2. You’ll create 6 chain-4 loops behind the inner petals.

➡️ These loops give structure and dimension to the layered petal look.

✅ STEP 5: Outer Petals – Color C

Each outer petal will be worked into a ch-4 loop.

1. Into the first ch-4 loop, work:
   • (sc, dc, tr, tr, dc, sc) – a larger, fuller petal.
2. Repeat around for all 6 outer petals.
3. Join with sl st to the first petal.

📌 These larger petals form the second flower layer.

📌 Color Striping Tip: For a dramatic effect, you could alternate every outer petal with another color (e.g., Color B).

✅ STEP 6: Petal Border Round – Color B (Optional)

To bring unity and definition to the flower:

1. Attach Color B in the space between two outer petals.
2. Ch 1, sc in next st, hdc, 2 dc, hdc, sc – work evenly across each petal top.
3. Continue this stitch pattern across all petals.

➡️ This round gives the coaster more shape, smooths out the edges, and balances color.

📌 Optional: Add a final round in a contrasting color (Color A or D) for a bold ringed finish.

✅ STEP 7: Weave in Ends

1. FO your yarn.
2. Thread the ends into a tapestry needle.
3. Weave them into the back loops of your work securely.
4. Trim excess yarn neatly.

📌 If you changed colors multiple times, take extra care to hide tails invisibly for a polished look.

---

✅ STEP 8: Blocking (Highly Recommended)

To ensure your flower coaster lays flat and keeps its round shape:

1. Lightly wet the coaster with a spray bottle or soak and squeeze gently.
2. Pin it flat on a blocking mat or towel, shaping each petal evenly.
3. Let it dry fully (8–12 hours).

📏 Final Dimensions

• Diameter: Approx. 4.5 to 5.5 inches (11.5–14 cm), depending on yarn and hook.
• Use a smaller hook or fewer stitches for a smaller coaster, and larger yarn or add rounds for a placemat-sized piece.

🎨 Color Striping Variations

Style	Color Order Example
Classic Bloom	A (center), B (petals), C (border)
Ombre Fade	Light → medium → dark shades
Rainbow	Red, orange, yellow, green, etc.
Seasonal	Pastels for spring, red/green for holidays
Neutral	Beige, ivory, brown, and cream

🧺 Care Tips

• Material: Use cotton yarn for heat resistance and washability.
• Wash: Gentle hand wash or machine on delicate cycle.
• Dry: Lay flat to dry. Avoid high heat.

🌼 Add-Ons and Uses

• Leaf Motifs: Add 2 small green leaves under the flower for a garden-inspired look.
• Gift Set: Make sets of 4 or 6 for housewarming gifts.
• Hanging Decor: Add a loop to turn it into a wall hanging or bunting.
