Hello! Well, I'm trying to at least post on the correct day, seeing as I've been late several times throughout this series. Sorry about that ;P Life is crazy this time of year!
Anyhoo...I saw these coasters on Pinterest and LOVED them. But I couldn't find the pattern anywhere...I kept coming up with dead links and deleted posts :( So I did another Pinterest search for crocheted flower coasters. I found several, like this one - but it was in Dutch. Which, even translated, was hard for me to understand. I did finally land on this one, which was helpful. Honestly, it was such a weird journey for how this pattern came into being, I can't remember which one I tweaked the most to get it. Therefore I'm linking to all of them ;P
You might notice that I didn't title it as a coaster pattern. That's because these are actually quite versatile. I made them with Hobby Lobby's "I Love This Cotton," so it is nice and absorbent. They would be super cute as a little face scrubby or dishcloth :D
Here's how I did it - sorry, no step by step pictures right now, but if I get a chance tomorrow, I will come back and do that.
Start by doing a magic ring.
Work a *dc, ch1* 12 times in the ring, then join with a slip stitch to tighten. This should leave you with 12 chain spaces.
Ch 3, and do 2 dc in the next chain space. Do 3 dc in each space around and join with slip stitch (Still should have 12 spaces)
*Slip Stitch in between the 1st and 2nd double crochet, ch 5, then slip stitch between the 2nd and 3rd dc.* Repeat around all spaces. Join with a slip stitch so you have 12 "petals"
Do 5 dc the first petal, then slip stitch in between petals around to the end. Join with a slip stitch at the end and bind off.
This might seem kind of confusing without pics, as I'm reading through it. If you have any problems before I get them added, let me know and I'll see if I can answer them for you.
Happy crafting!!
