Whether you're a seasoned crocheter or a curious beginner, this project is a delightful way to practice dimensional motifs and create a beautiful, functional piece of home decor.

Materials Needed

Before you begin, gather the following supplies. Using the specified yarn weight and hook size ensures your coasters match the intended gauge and drape.

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in the following colors:
  • Deep rose (main color for roses)
  • Blush pink (optional accent for petals)
  • Sage green (for leaves)
  • Cream (for decorative bow, optional)
• Hook: 4.0 mm (G) crochet hook
• Other: Yarn needle for weaving in ends and sewing, scissors

Gauge: First 3 rounds of rose measure 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter. Gauge is not critical for this project, but matching it ensures the coaster size is as intended.

Step-by-Step Instructions

This pattern is worked in the round for the rose motif and in rows for the leaf. Follow each step carefully, and you'll have a beautiful set of botanical coasters in no time.

Rose Motif (Make 4)

Each coaster features one rose. You will make four identical roses.

Round 1: With deep rose yarn, make a magic ring. Work 12 double crochet (dc) into the ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first dc. (12 stitches)

Round 2: Chain 3 (counts as first dc), 1 dc in the same stitch, then 2 dc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the top of the beginning chain-3. (24 stitches)

Round 3: Chain 1, then work the following sequence around: *Single crochet (sc) in the next stitch, chain 3, skip 1 stitch, sc in the next stitch, chain 5, skip 1 stitch; repeat from * around, ending with a chain 5, skip the last stitch, and join with a sl st to the first sc. You will have 6 chain-3 loops and 6 chain-5 loops.

Round 4: Slip stitch into the first chain-3 loop. Work (chain 3, 4 dc, chain 3, sl st) in the same loop – this forms a small petal. *Slip stitch into the next chain-5 loop, work (chain 3, 8 dc, chain 3, sl st) in the same loop – this is a large petal. Slip stitch into the next chain-3 loop, work (chain 3, 4 dc, chain 3, sl st) in the same loop – another small petal. Repeat from * around. Fasten off and weave in all ends securely.

Leaf Motif (Make 4)

Each rose gets one leaf. These are worked in rows to create a pointed, natural shape.

Row 1: With sage green yarn, chain 10. Single crochet (sc) in the 2nd chain from the hook, half double crochet (hdc) in the next, double crochet (dc) in the next 4 chains, hdc in the next, sc in the next, chain 1, turn.

Row 2: Working along the other side of the foundation chain, sc in the first stitch, hdc in the next, dc in the next 4 stitches, hdc in the next, sc in the last stitch. Fasten off, leaving a long tail (about 12 inches) for sewing.

Assembly

Now it's time to combine your motifs into finished coasters.

1. Arrange one rose and one leaf as desired. The leaf looks lovely peeking out from behind the rose, slightly to one side.
2. Using the leaf's long tail, sew the leaf to the back of the rose. Position it so the leaf tip extends beyond the rose petals. Make a few secure stitches through both pieces, then weave in the end.
3. Repeat this process for all four coasters.

Finishing Touches

Add the final details to make your coasters truly special.

1. Optional Bow: With cream yarn, create a simple chain of 20 stitches. Fasten off and tie the chain into a small bow. Sew the bow to the back of one coaster as a decorative accent. This adds a charming, vintage touch.
2. Blocking: Gently block each coaster to flatten and shape the petals. To block, lightly mist the coasters with water and pin them flat on a blocking mat or towel, shaping the petals outward. Allow them to dry completely. This step enhances the definition of the petals and gives a professional finish.

Your Enchanted Rosewood Bloom Coaster Set is now complete! These beautiful, textured coasters will protect your surfaces while adding a romantic, botanical flair to any room. Enjoy your handmade creation, and don't be surprised if they become your new favorite conversation piece.
