, and created my Lazy Daze Poncho design.With the arrival of April, I was ready for a quick crochet project to give me some satisfaction while I work on my next crochet pattern eBook and a long-term project (my Cath Kidston-inspired giant granny afghan). What better way to celebrate spring than with flowers?
Which led to the creation of my Think Spring Cotton Crochet Coasters!
There are a lot of beautiful crochet coaster patterns out there. I've tried a few that I liked and have tried some that didn't give me the results I was looking for. In the end, I decided to design my own so I could have a quick-to-crochet pattern with an attractive, versatile look. Here's the free pattern so you can whip up a few for yourself or as a lovely, springtime gift.
"Think Spring" Cotton Crochet Coaster Pattern
Supplies:
Hook size - G
Cotton yarn of your choice, I used Bernat 100% Cotton Yarn in Smokey Wine, and Sugar 'n Cream in Ecru.
Ch 6, join with slip stitch to form ring.
Round 1: Ch 3 (counts as first DC). DC 19 times into ring for total of 20 stitches. Join with slipstitch.
Round 2: Ch 4 (counts as first DC and first Ch 1). *DC in the next stitch, Ch 1*. Repeat from * to * all the way around. Ch 1, and join the last stitch to the first with a slipstitch.
Round 3: Slipstitch to a Ch 1 space. Ch 3 (counts as first DC). DC again in the same space. *Ch 1, 2 DC in the next Ch 1 space*. Repeat from * to * all the way around. Ch 1, slipstitch into the first stitch. Fasten off.
Round 4: Using your second color, join in a Ch 1 space with a slipstitch, SC in the same space. *Skip the
two DCs and DC five times into the next Ch 1 space. Skip the next 2
stitches and SC into the next Ch 1 space*. Repeat from * to * all the
way around to create 10 flower petals. Fasten off, sew in your end.

What a pretty coaster design... Thanks, Mary! God knows I have all of that Sugar n Cream to use up from the great Michael's sale you filled us in on a few weeks ago :) I just love how that yarn feels!
ReplyDeleteMonica, I'd love to see a picture of your finished coasters if you use my pattern. :)
DeleteThanks ever so much for sharing and thanks for linking up at Crochet Addict UK
ReplyDeleteThank you! I need some new coasters and these are perfect!
ReplyDeleteGreat! Let me know how tours turn out. :)
DeleteVery pretty and easy!
ReplyDeleteYes, we all need an instant gratification project once in a while, don't we?
DeleteOh they are so pretty and I have the perfect thing to try with them.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was cross stitching I was sent a whole bunch of thread but it's too big for stitching unless you pull apart.
I tried one and made a little mat for my mum, so then I didn't know what to do with all the others.
I think this could be the perfect pattern to try!!
Thanks Mary.
:)
Kim, I'd love to know how they turn out. :)
DeleteI just put a picture up on my blog Mary. I tried to put a link back to yours but I can't work it out.
Delete:(
You can always just copy and paste the link. :)
DeleteYes, I've tried that as well. It's quite frustrating as it doesn't appear to be clickable. :(
DeleteSugar and Cream yarn is my favorite! I'm going to have to give this a try. I'm still a newbie but I think this is within my skill set to tackle!
DeleteTracey, you can absolutely do this pattern! I'd love to see a picture when you're finished. :)
