Free Carnation Coaster Crochet Pattern

This is a very easy pattern that works up super fast! This pattern is for a set of 4 summery coasters. I used Caron X Pantone yarn. For a 4 coaster set you need less then 1 braid. You could easily make a set of 6 from 1 braid if you wanted. You can really make this pattern your own depending on color choice. You can make the whole coaster one color or you can switch it up anywhere through out the pattern to create a unique and personalized set. Using only a few stitches this pattern is great for beginners or those looking for a quick make.

Stitches used:

• HDC-half double crochet

• SS- slip stitch 

• SK ST- skip stitch

Pattern

Notes:

-every time you SS into the beginning of the round your first stitch work will be in that same stitch. 

-I had some issues getting my coasters to lay flat so I just placed them under a heavy book for the night and they came out flat as can be by the next morning. 

1.Ch 6, SS into 1st Ch to form a loop

2.Work 11 HDC into center of loop (pull tightly to close center loop), SS to 1st HDC

3.In 1ststitch HDC, then SKST Ch2, work [HDC, SKST, CH2] all the way around.

4.SS into 1st HDC, you should have 6 Ch 2 spaces. 

5.Work 1 HDC into each HDC and 2 into each CH2 space (should have a total of 18 stitches all around), SS into first HDC.

6.Repeat [HDC, SKST, CH2] all the way around, you should now have 9 Ch 2 spaces at the end of this round. SS into 1st HDC.

7.Work 1 HDC into each HDC and 3 TC into each Ch 2 space all the way around [HDC, 3TC] . You should have a total of 36 stitches at the end of this round. 

8.SS into 1st HDC then SC all the way around. When you end up back at stitch 1 cut yarn leaving enough yarn to sew around the edge of the coaster, bind off then using a darning needle working back to front sew around the edge of the coaster to create a ridge. 

Happy Making
