          \ud83c\udf3c Step-by-Step: Easiest Flower Coaster Pattern<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          This pattern makes a simple 6-petal flower coaster<\/strong> with a center and a petal round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          \ud83e\udde1 Round 1: Center of the Flower<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Start with a magic ring<\/strong> (or CH 4 and SL ST to form a ring).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. CH 2 (counts as DC), work 11 DC into the ring.
            (12 DC total)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. SL ST into top of CH 2 to join.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Tip:<\/strong> Use a bright or contrasting color for the center to make it pop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \ud83d\udc97 Round 2: Create the Petals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            Change to petal color if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. CH 2 (does not count as a stitch).<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. In the first stitch<\/strong>, work the following:\n
                \n
              • (1 DC, 2 TR, 1 DC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Skip 1 stitch<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • SL ST in the next<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Repeat (1 DC, 2 TR, 1 DC)<\/strong> in one stitch, skip one<\/strong>, then SL ST<\/strong> in the next
                \u2013 continue around until you have 6 petals<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Join with a SL ST to the first SL ST. Fasten off and weave in ends.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                Petal Structure<\/strong>: The DCs give shape, while the TR stitches make the petals nice and round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • Colors<\/strong>: Use multiple colors \u2013 one for the center, one for petals, and even a third for a border.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Petal Size<\/strong>: Use more TRs for taller petals or SCs for smaller ones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Number of Petals<\/strong>: Try 8 petals by increasing stitches in Round 1 to 16 and adjusting skips.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Border Edge<\/strong>: Add a simple SC or reverse SC (crab stitch) border for durability and flair.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
