How to Crochet a Daisy Coaster – Free Pattern for Spring
I don’t know what it is about daisies, but they just feel happy. And now that spring is peeking through, I thought it was the perfect time to crochet something bright and cheerful—and useful! Enter: this daisy crochet coaster.
This project is beginner-friendly, stash-friendly, and pretty much guaranteed to bring some sunshine to your table. I made mine in classic yellow and white, but you could go wild with color. Pale pink petals? Blue centers? Yes please.
In the video below, I show you step-by-step how to crochet this daisy coaster, from the magic ring to the finishing touches on the petals.
Keep scrolling for the free pattern, tips on how to prevent hexagon-shaped circles (been there), and everything you need to get started.🌼
Skill Level: Beginner-friendly
Finished Size: Approx. 6" diameter
Materials
Worsted-weight (4) cotton yarn, approx. 8-10 grams per color, in:
Yellow (center)
White (petals)
4.00mm (G) crochet hook
Notions: Yarn needle, scissors, stitch marker
Abbreviations (US Terms)
sc – single crochet
dc – double crochet
sl st – slip stitch
inc – increase (2 sc in same stitch)
sk – skip stitch(es)
Pattern Notes
Rounds 1–6 are worked in continuous rounds—do not join unless instructed. Use a stitch marker to keep track.
Rounds 7–9 are worked in joined rounds. Join with a sl st, but do not turn.
For a rounder shape and to prevent the “hexagon effect,” try alternating the placement of your increases in each round (see tips below).
Flower Center (in yellow):
Round 1: In magic ring, make 8 sc into the ring, pull tight to close (8 sts)
Round 2: inc in each st around (16 sts)
Round 3: complete the following (sc in the next st, inc in the next st) around (24 sts)
Round 4: complete the following (sc in the next 3 sts, inc in the next st) around (30 sts)
Round 5: complete the following (sc in the next 4 sts, inc in the next st) around (36 sts)
Round 6: complete the following (sc in the next 5 sts, inc in the next st) around, sl st to first st to join (42 sts)
Fasten off yellow yarn and weave in ends.
Petals (in white):
Attach white yarn in any stitch on outer edge. I like using a slip knot and working a standing stitch but you can also pull up a loop and make a starting chain.
Round 7: sc in each st around, sl st to first st to join (42 sts)
Round 8: ch 1, sk the first 2 sts, *8 dc in next st, sk 2 sts, sl st in next st, sk 2 sts, repeat from * join with sl st in previous round’s sl st, do not turn
Round 9: *sl st in first dc, 2 sc in each of the next 6 dc, sl st in 8th dc and the sl st between petals, repeat from * around, sl st to first sl st to join
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Finishing
Lightly block for an even shape (optional—cotton responds well to steam or damp blocking).
Trim excess ends and enjoy your adorable daisy!
Tips & Tricks for Crochet Daisy Coasters
Use a stitch marker when working continuous rounds (Rounds 1–6) so you don’t lose track of the beginning.
Keep your circle from turning into a hexagon by alternating where your increases are placed in each round.
For example:
In Round 3, start with a regular sc, then an inc.
In Round 4, start with an increase, then follow with sc stitches.
By shifting the position of the increase, it distributes the growth more evenly. But don’t worry—if it’s easier to place the increases the same way every round, you can absolutely do that too!
Watch your tension! Cotton yarn has less stretch, so keep your stitches relaxed to avoid hand fatigue.
Count those petals. For Round 8, count your 8 dc stitches in each petal cluster carefully—it’s easy to lose track!
Weave ends securely. Especially if your coaster might end up in the washing machine. Weave in multiple directions so nothing comes undone.
Experiment with color. Try a pink center with white petals, or even rainbow petals for a cheerful twist.
