Crochet Flower Coaster Pattern (Free) – Easy Scalloped Motif | US Terms

This crochet flower coaster has such a soft, pretty look with its layered petals and gentle scalloped edge. I designed it by following the diagram step by step and testing it with the actual piece, so the photo, chart, and written pattern all come together in the same shape and structure.

It’s a lovely project if you’re practicing working in the round, and also a fun, relaxing make if you already enjoy decorative crochet. Using cotton yarn gives it a nice sturdy feel, making it perfect for everyday use while still looking delicate and handmade.
