Sunflower Coaster Crochet Pattern
Bring the sunshine in with this quick and easy sunflower coaster crochet pattern. These sunflower coasters are a fun way to add a pop of colour and personality to your home.
I’ve always loved sunflowers. They’re definitely a statement flower perfect for brightening up a space and now you can enjoy them all year round.
How to Crochet a Sunflower Coaster
This sunflower coaster crochet pattern is worked in joined rounds.
The centre is made up of half double crochet before we add some fun texture with a round of popcorn stitches and then the petals.
Are Crochet Coasters Effective?
Yes! Crochet coasters are just as effective as cork, ceramic or stone coasters and are much more fun as they can be easily personalised to suit your space.
What is the Best Yarn to Use for Crochet Coasters?
Cotton yarn is a popular choice for crochet coasters as it’s durable, absorbent, holds up well to heat and is easy to wash.

Picot: Ch 2, sc in 2nd ch from hook.
Finished Size

Gauge
3.25″ (8.5cm) across after R7.
Notes

Pattern Instructions
Sunflower (starting in dark brown)
Make a magic ring
R1: Ch1, 8 hdc in magic ring, sl st to first hdc (8)
R2: Ch 1, [hdc-inc] x8, sl st to first hdc (16)
R3: Ch 1, [hdc, hdc-inc] x8, sl st to first hdc (24)
R4: Ch 1, hdc, hdc-inc, [2 hdc, hdc-inc] x7, hdc, sl st to first hdc (32)

At this point my coaster measured 3.25″ across. Adjust hook size as necessary.
R8: Ch 1, [sc, pc] x28, sl st to first sc (28 sc, 28 pc)
R9: [Sk pc, [hdc, 2 dc, picot, 2 dc, hdc] in sc st, sk pc, sl st in next st] x14 – the last sl st is made into the closing sl st from R8 (14 petals)
Fasten off and weave in ends.
You may block your coaster if you wish (I didn’t feel it was necessary) otherwise gently tug and shape each petal into place.

I am making this sunflower coaster but I don’t understand the instructions for [2 hdc, hdc-inc] x7 Does that mean 4 hdc per stitch? What is the difference between 2 hdc and hdc-inc?
Hi, the [2 hdc, hdc-inc] is 1 hdc in the next 2 sts, 2 hdc in the same st, repeat the instructions in brackets 7 times. Hope that helps.
Thanks Fay for providing these lovely coaster patterns. As a newbie at crochet they are brilliant to practice stitches. Loved doing the sunflowers. My first project was the little cat that you designed. It was really encouraging to be able to complete my first project after struggling to get the hang of crochet after many years of knitting!
