Daisy Motif Coaster – Written Pattern (H1)

This Daisy Motif Coaster is made using four daisy squares joined together with a soft lace border. The result is a delicate, floral coaster perfect for spring décor, gifts, and table settings. The pattern is beginner-friendly and uses basic stitches with a beautiful scalloped edging.

Yarn & Hook (H2)

• DK or light worsted yarn

• Colors: Yellow (center), White (petals), Mint/Green (square + border)

• Hook: 3.5 mm or 4 mm

Daisy Squares (Make 4) (H2)

Round 1 – Yellow Center (H3)

1. Make a magic ring.

2. Ch 2 (counts as first hdc).

3. Work 11 hdc into the ring (12 total).

4. Pull the ring tight and sl st to the first hdc.
   ✨ Fasten off yellow.

Round 2 – White Petals (H3)

Attach white into any stitch.

Each petal = (ch 2 + 2 dc + ch 2) in the SAME stitch.

Work around:

1. (Ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2) in next st, sl st in next st.
   Repeat this in all 12 stitches to make 12 petals.

Sl st to first ch-2 space.
✨ Fasten off white.

Round 3 – Mint (Turn Flower Into Square) (H3)

Attach green in any ch-2 petal space.

You create the square shape using sc, hdc, dc, tr.

Corner formula: (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc)
Side spaces: 1 dc in each petal dip.

Work:

1. (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) in next ch-2 space → Corner 1

2. 1 dc in each of the next 2 dips → Side stitches

3. Repeat corner + 2 side dc around.

You should have:
✔ 4 corners
✔ 8 side dc stitches

Sl st to first sc.
If joining later, fasten off. Otherwise, keep yarn attached for join-as-you-go.

🧵 Joining the 4 Squares (H2)

Arrange the 4 daisy squares in a 2×2 layout.

Use mint/green yarn.
Choose a joining method:

• Slip-stitch join (flat)

• Single crochet join (raised texture)

• Needle whipstitch (invisible)

Join all vertical seams first, then horizontal seams.

🌿 Lace Border (Outer Edging) (H2)

Round 1 – Simple Base Round (H3)

Attach mint yarn anywhere:

• sc in each stitch around

• 3 sc in each corner stitch

Sl st to first sc.

🌿 Lace Border (Outer Edging) (H2)

Round 1 – Simple Base Round (H3)

Attach mint yarn anywhere:

• sc in each stitch around

• 3 sc in each corner stitch

Sl st to first sc.

Round 2 – Open Loops (H3)

Ch 3, skip 1 st, sc in next st — repeat all around.
These ch-3 spaces create a light, airy net.

Sl st to first sc.

Round 3 – Leafy Scallops (H3)

In each ch-3 space: (sc, ch 3, dc, ch 3, sc) → Leaf cluster

In each corner: Add one extra cluster for fullness.

Sl st and fasten off.

✨ Tips for Best Results (H2)

Use Color-Fast Cotton Yarn (H3)

Prevents the yellow and white center from bleeding when washed.

Block the Squares Before Joining (H3)

This keeps each flower evenly shaped and makes joining neater.

Use a Smaller Hook for the Center (H3)

A 3 mm hook helps tighten the magic ring and keeps the center round.

Match Tension on All Four Squares (H3)

Ensures that all squares are the same size for smooth joining.

❗ Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them (H2)

Petals Look Uneven (H3)

Cause: Inconsistent height in dc stitches.
Fix: Keep dc loops the same length and use steady tension.

Square Looks Wavy (H3)

Cause: Too many stitches in corners.
Fix: Follow the exact corner formula (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc).

Squares Not Aligning When Joining (H3)

Cause: Each square is slightly different in size.
Fix: Lightly block the squares before joining.

Border Looks Tight or Curling (H3)

Cause: Chains or leaf clusters pulled too tight.
Fix: Relax your tension and keep ch-3 loops even.
