🌼 3D Flower Crochet Coaster with Yellow Color + Video


Let's crochet a stunning, yellow 3D flower crochet coaster! This project is a fantastic way to add a bright, cheerful, and dimensional touch to your home decor. While it looks intricate, it's surprisingly accessible for those comfortable with basic stitches, and the result is truly beautiful.

How to Crochet a Beautiful Yellow 3D Flower Coaster

This pattern creates a lovely, layered flower with a raised, dimensional effect, perfect for a unique coaster or appliqué, all in a vibrant yellow hue.

Skill Level: Intermediate

You'll need to be comfortable with:

  • Basic crochet stitches: chain (ch), slip stitch (sl st), single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc), double crochet (dc), treble crochet (tr).
  • Working in rounds.
  • Creating a Magic Ring (optional but highly recommended for a tight center).
  • Working into back loops only (BLO) and front loops only (FLO).
  • Working into stitches from previous rounds or behind current stitches.

Finished Coaster Dimensions (Approximate):

  • 5-6 inches (12.5-15 cm) in diameter, depending on your yarn and tension.

Materials You'll Need:

  • Yarn: Approximately 40-60 yards (37-55 meters) of Worsted Weight (Medium #4) Cotton Yarn. Cotton is ideal for coasters due to its absorbency and heat resistance.
    • Color A (Center/Petals/Base): All in Yellow (approx. 40-60 yards total). If you want subtle variations, you could use two slightly different shades of yellow (e.g., a lighter yellow for the center, a brighter yellow for the petals).
    • Color B (Optional, for leaves): A small amount of green worsted weight cotton yarn (e.g., 5-10 yards).
  • Crochet Hook: Size H/5.0mm. Or the hook size that gives you a firm but flexible fabric.
  • Yarn Needle (Tapestry Needle): Essential for weaving in ends.
  • Scissors
  • Stitch Marker (Optional): Can be helpful for marking the start of rounds.

Gauge:

Gauge isn't critical for a coaster, but consistent tension will ensure your flower looks even and beautiful.

Abbreviations Used:

  • ch: chain
  • sl st: slip stitch
  • sc: single crochet
  • hdc: half double crochet
  • dc: double crochet
  • tr: treble crochet (yarn over twice, insert hook, yarn over, pull through 2 loops 3 times)
  • st(s): stitch(es)
  • MR: Magic Ring (or Magic Circle/Adjustable Ring)
  • BLO: back loop only
  • FLO: front loop only
  • sp: space
  • ch-sp: chain space
  • FO: fasten off
  • (): repeat instructions within parentheses a specified number of times.
  • []: indicates the total number of stitches at the end of a round.

Let's Crochet Your 3D Yellow Flower Coaster!

This pattern builds the flower in layers, starting with the center, then the first set of petals, and finally the second layer of petals and the coaster base. We'll use yellow throughout for the flower, with an optional green for the base/leaves.

Part 1: Flower Center (Yellow)

  1. Start: Make a Magic Ring (MR).

    • Alternative Start: Ch 4, then sl st into the first chain to form a ring.

  2. Round 1: Ch 1 (does NOT count as a stitch). Work 10 single crochet (sc) stitches into the MR. Pull the tail tightly to close the center hole. Sl st into the first sc to join. [10 sc]

  3. Round 2: Ch 1. Sc into the back loop only (BLO) of each stitch around. Sl st into the first sc to join. [10 sc]

    • This BLO round creates a ridge of front loops (FLO) on the previous Round 1. We'll work into these FLO later for the bottom layer of petals, which helps create the 3D effect.

  4. Round 3: Ch 1. Work 2 sc into each stitch around. Sl st into the first sc to join. [20 sc]

    • Fasten off (FO), leaving a 4-inch tail.

Part 2: First Layer of Petals (Yellow)

These petals will stand up from the center, forming the primary flower shape.

  1. Join your yellow yarn with a sl st into any sc stitch from Round 3 (the last round of Part 1).
  2. Round 4 (Petals):
    • Ch 1. In the same stitch where you joined, work: (sl st, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st). This forms your first petal.
    • (Skip next stitch, in the next stitch: sl st, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st). Repeat from * to * 8 more times around.
    • You should have 10 petals in total.
    • Sl st to the first sl st you made at the beginning of the round to join.
    • Fasten off (FO), leaving a 4-inch tail.

Part 3: Second Layer of Petals (Yellow)

This layer of petals will appear behind the first layer, adding fullness and a truly dimensional look. We'll work into the unworked front loops (FLO) from Round 1.

  1. Turn your work to the back. You'll see the unworked loops from Round 1 (the FLO left when you worked into BLO in Round 2).

  2. Join your yellow yarn with a sl st into any of these unworked FLO stitches from Round 1.

  3. Round 5 (Back Petals):

    • Ch 1. In the same unworked FLO stitch where you joined, work: (sl st, ch 3, 3 tr, ch 3, sl st). This forms your first larger back petal.
    • (Skip next unworked FLO stitch from Round 1, in the next unworked FLO stitch from Round 1: sl st, ch 3, 3 tr, ch 3, sl st). Repeat from * to * 8 more times around.
    • You should have 10 larger petals.
    • Sl st to the first sl st you made at the beginning of the round to join.
    • Fasten off (FO), leaving a 4-inch tail.

    Note: These petals will naturally curl behind the first layer of petals, pushing them forward and creating the beautiful 3D effect.

Part 4: The Coaster Base / Optional Greenery

This section creates the flat base for your coaster, adding stability. You can keep it yellow or add a touch of green for leaves.

  1. Turn your work to the back again. You'll now need to work into the stitches from Round 3 that were covered by the petals.

    • Join your yellow yarn (or Color B - Green if you're adding leaves) with a sl st into any unworked stitch from Round 3 that is between two petals of Round 4. You'll be working into the back of Round 3.

  2. Round 6 (Coaster Base):

    • Ch 2 (counts as first hdc). Hdc in the same stitch.
    • Continue working 1 hdc into each of the 20 stitches from Round 3 around the entire coaster, trying to keep your hook behind the existing petals.
    • Sl st to the top of the beginning ch-2 to join. [20 hdc]

  3. Round 7: Ch 2. Work 2 hdc into each stitch around. Sl st to the top of the beginning ch-2 to join. [40 hdc]

  4. Round 8: Ch 2. (Hdc in next st, 2 hdc in next st) around. Sl st to the top of the beginning ch-2 to join. [60 hdc]

    • This should give you a good, solid coaster base. If you want a larger coaster, add another increase round (e.g., Round 9: Ch 2, (hdc in next 2 sts, 2 hdc in next st) around).

  5. Final Round (Optional - Edging): Ch 1. Sc in each hdc around. Sl st to the first sc to join. This creates a neat, firm edge.

Part 5: Finishing Your 3D Flower Coaster

  1. Fasten Off: After completing your final round, cut your yarn, leaving a 6-inch tail. Yarn over and pull the tail completely through the loop on your hook to secure the last stitch.
  2. Weave in All Ends: This is the most crucial step for a beautiful and durable coaster, especially with all those layers. Thread each yarn tail onto your yarn needle. Carefully weave them through several stitches of the same color on the back side of your coaster, making them secure and invisible. Take your time to ensure all tails are tucked away neatly.
  3. Shape and Admire: Gently lay your coaster flat. Using your fingers, gently manipulate and arrange the petals to create the desired 3D effect. The layers should naturally pop forward, showcasing the beautiful dimension of your yellow flower.

You've now created a truly beautiful and dimensional yellow 3D flower crochet coaster! This intricate-looking piece is sure to brighten up any space and make a lovely handmade gift. Enjoy seeing your vibrant creation come to life!
