Take your crochet hook and sunny yellow yarn because it's time to make a charming Sunflower Coaster set that nestles perfectly inside its own little basket. These coasters are not just functional; they're a bright spot of happiness for your table.
Crochet Sunflower Coaster In A Basket
As you loop and stitch, watch as each petal comes to life in your hands. And when you're done, you'll have a lovely set of sunflower coasters ready to hold your drinks or simply to add a splash of joy to your decor. So grab your materials and let's begin this cozy, fun project!
Materials:
- Yarn of chosen colors (refer to video description for specifics)
- Appropriate hook size (refer to video description for specifics)
- Scissors
- Needle (optional, for weaving in ends)
Coaster Pattern:
Starting the Center:
- Begin with a magic ring.
- Chain 1 (this does not count as a stitch).
- Make 12 double crochets into the magic ring.
- Pull tail yarn to closely shut the ring.
- Slip stitch to the top of the first double crochet and chain 1.
Second Round:
- Starting in the same stitch, make 1 double crochet, and then another double crochet into the same stitch (total 2 double crochets in the same stitch, considered as an increase).
- Repeat this increase in each stitch around the circle.
- By the end of this round, you will have 24 double crochets.
- Slip stitch to the top of the first stitch to close the round and chain 1.
Third Round:
- Make one double crochet on top of the first stitch.
- Next, perform an increase in the following stitch (two double crochets in the same stitch).
- Then, make one double crochet in the next stitch, followed by an increase in the next.
- Repeat this pattern around the circle to create 12 sets.
- By the end of this round, you should have 36 double crochets.
Fourth Round (Creating Sunflower Center Texture):
- Chain 1 (counts as a single crochet).
- Make one treble crochet into the same stitch.
- In each stitch of the previous round, make one single crochet followed by a treble crochet.
- Once finished, slip stitch to the first stitch and chain 1 to secure.
Adding Petals:
- Using a different color yarn (yellow recommended), attach to any stitch of the last round.
- Make single crochets in the first three stitches.
- On top of the third stitch, chain four, and perform a picot by inserting the hook into the base and making a slip stitch.
- Continue with three single crochets and a chain four picot around the circle. This should create 12 picot spaces.
- In each chain four picot space, craft the petal pattern: make five double crochets, a chain one picot, and four more double crochets.
- Finally, secure the yarn, weave in any loose ends.
Basket
Base of The Basket:
- Repeat the process similar to the coaster's center using appropriate yarn, starting with a magic ring and creating a base with 36 double crochets.
Building the Basket Walls:
- Transition to working only in the back loops for the first round of height.
- Continue with one double crochet in each stitch, now working through both loops.
- Repeat the rounds until desired basket height is reached.
Adding Leaf Border:
- Change to green yarn.
- Attach yarn at any stitch on the basket’s edge.
- Replicate the pattern used for creating the petal spaces in the coaster, alternating between single crochets and chain four picots.
- For each chain four picot space, create a leaf pattern similar to the petal pattern.
Finishing Touches
- Secure and weave in all ends. Optionally apply a dab of glue for extra security on the tail ends.
- Roll or fold coasters to fit inside the basket creatively.
