With a raised floral center, soft scalloped border, and a palette of muted farmhouse colors, this project is perfect for intermediate beginners ready to try something special. The finished set of four coasters measures 4.5 inches each—just right for mugs, glasses, or simply as decorative accents.

Materials Needed

Before you begin, gather the following supplies. All yarn is 100% cotton worsted weight (Category 4), which gives the coasters their sturdy, absorbent, and heat-resistant qualities.

• Yarn: Lily Sugar'n Cream 100% Cotton Worsted Weight (4) in the following colors:
  • Color A (Ecru): for the coaster base and border (approx. 1 ball)
  • Color B (Sage Green): for leaves and one floral center
  • Color C (Dusty Rose): for two floral centers
  • Color D (Sunflower Yellow): for one floral center
• Hook: US G/6 (4.25 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: First 3 rounds of coaster = 2.5 inches in diameter (gauge is not critical, but consistency ensures uniform coasters)
• Extras: Yarn needle for weaving in ends and sewing pieces together, scissors, and blocking pins (optional but recommended)

Step-by-Step Instructions

This pattern creates a 4.5-inch coaster with a raised floral center and a textured border. Make 4 coasters, one in each floral color combination. The instructions below are detailed so you can work confidently from start to finish.

Special Stitches

Familiarize yourself with these stitches before starting:

• Magic Ring (MR): An adjustable loop that allows you to pull the center tight.
• Chain (ch), Slip Stitch (sl st), Single Crochet (sc), Double Crochet (dc), Treble Crochet (tr) – standard crochet stitches.
• Double Crochet Cluster (dc-cl): Yarn over, insert hook into designated stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through 2 loops (twice). Yarn over, insert hook into the same stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through 2 loops (twice). Yarn over, pull through all 3 loops on hook. This creates a decorative cluster.
• Picot: Ch 3, sl st into the first ch (forms a tiny loop).

Coaster Base (Make 4 – all using Color A)

The base is a flat, dense circle worked in continuous rounds. Follow carefully to keep it even.

Round 1: With Color A, make a MR. Ch 3 (counts as first dc), work 11 dc into the ring. Pull the ring tight to close. Sl st to the top of the ch-3 to join. (12 dc total)

Round 2: Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in the same stitch (this is an increase). Work 2 dc in each stitch around. Sl st to the top of the ch-3 to join. (24 dc total)

Round 3: Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in the same stitch (increase). Dc in the next stitch. *2 dc in the next stitch, dc in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * around. Sl st to join. (36 dc total)

Round 4: Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch), sc in the same stitch. Sc in the next 2 stitches. *2 sc in the next stitch, sc in the next 3 stitches.* Repeat from * to * around. Sl st to the first sc to join. (45 sc total) Fasten off Color A and weave in the end.

Floral Center (Make 4 – one in each color: B, C, D, and a second in C for variety)

Each flower is worked in the round and then sewn onto the base. The petals are created with treble crochet pairs and a ruffled edge.

Round 1: With your chosen floral color, make a MR. Ch 1, work 8 sc into the ring. Pull the ring tight. Sl st to the first sc to join. (8 sc)

Round 2: Ch 4 (counts as first tr), tr in the same stitch. Ch 2. *2 tr in the next stitch, ch 2.* Repeat from * to * around. Sl st to the top of the ch-4 to join. (8 tr-pairs, 8 ch-2 spaces)

Round 3: Sl st into the next ch-2 space. Ch 1. In the same space, work (sc, dc, tr, dc, sc) – this forms one petal. *Sl st into the next ch-2 space, work (sc, dc, tr, dc, sc) in the next space.* Repeat from * to * around. Sl st to the first sc to join. (8 petals total) Fasten off, leaving a long tail (about 12 inches) for sewing.

Leaf Motifs (Make 8 – all using Color B)

These simple pointed leaves add a charming farmhouse touch. They are worked in rows and sewn flat.

Row 1: Ch 6. Sc in the 2nd ch from the hook. Hdc in the next ch. Dc in the next 2 chs. Hdc in the last ch. (5 stitches total) Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.

Assembly

Now it's time to bring the pieces together. Take your time to position everything neatly.

1. Attach the flower: Place a floral center in the middle of a coaster base. Using the long tail from the flower, thread it through a yarn needle. Sew the flower in place by stitching through the back loops of the flower's outer petals and the sc stitches of the base. Work evenly around the flower to secure it flat.
2. Add the leaves: Sew two leaf motifs on opposite sides of each flower, angling them outward like leaves on a stem. Use the tails to secure them firmly to the base. Weave in all ends.

Border (Worked on all coasters)

The scalloped border with picot points gives the coasters their delicate, heirloom finish. Work this after the flower and leaves are attached.

Round 5: With Color A, join with a sl st to any sc on the outer edge of the base. Ch 1, sc in the same stitch. *Ch 3, skip 2 stitches, sc in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * around, ending with ch 3, sl st to the first sc to join. (15 ch-3 loops total)

Round 6: Sl st into the first ch-3 loop. Ch 1. In the same loop, work (sc, hdc, dc, picot, dc, hdc, sc). *Sl st into the next ch-3 loop, work (sc, hdc, dc, picot, dc, hdc, sc) in the next loop.* Repeat from * to * around. Sl st to the first sc to join. Fasten off and weave in all ends.

Finishing

Blocking is the final step to ensure your coasters lie perfectly flat and the petals open beautifully.

Lightly block each coaster by pinning it to shape on a blocking mat or towel. Steam gently using an iron held above the piece (do not press directly) to flatten the petals and border. Allow to dry completely before removing pins.

Your Heirloom Harvest Coaster Set is now ready to grace your table or to gift to someone special. The combination of rustic cotton, textured florals, and delicate picot edges makes these coasters a true handmade treasure. Enjoy the process, and don't be afraid to experiment with different color combinations to match your own farmhouse aesthetic!
