This crochet big flower coaster combines a large pink flower with a white square background for a cheerful handmade accent. The pattern uses single crochet stitches and several yarn colors, so it is approachable for newer crocheters who are comfortable keeping track of stitches and changing colors. It also includes a small hanging loop for convenient storage or display.
Set out your yarn and tools before you begin, and count the stitches at the end of each row. The pattern is written in US crochet terms and includes 23 rows. Although the stitches are basic, the frequent color changes call for a little extra attention.
Materials for the Crochet Big Flower Coaster
- Yarn in white, light pink, dark pink, and yellow. The pattern does not specify amounts.
- 2.5 mm crochet hook
- Darning needle
- Scissors
Keep each color easy to reach as you work. A darning needle is useful for securing the yarn ends after the coaster and hanging loop are complete.
Stitches and Pattern Notes
- ch – chain
- sc – single crochet
- ss – slip stitch
- The instructions use US crochet terms.
- Each row begins with a chain as written; follow the row instructions for the stitch count and color sequence.
- When changing colors, keep the working yarns tidy and avoid pulling the carried yarn too tightly, which can draw in the fabric.
- Count your stitches regularly to help keep the square shape even.
For a neat color change, you can complete the final yarn-over of a single crochet with the new color, then continue with that color as instructed.

As you work, compare the placement of the pink and yellow stitches with the pattern images. If the fabric starts to pucker, loosen the carried strands and even out your tension before moving on.
Make the Hanging Loop
Make a chain of 10 stitches. Join it with 1 slip stitch, then make 1 chain. Cut the yarn and weave in the ends. Attach the loop at a corner of the square so the coaster can be hung up when it is not in use.
Finishing and Using Your Crochet Big Flower Coaster
Secure and weave in all yarn ends with the darning needle. Check the edges and corners, then gently shape the piece so it lies flat. This floral coaster can brighten a table or be displayed on a wall using its corner loop. Use it for cups and mugs rather than as a trivet for cookware; crocheted yarn should not be assumed to protect surfaces from high heat.
The crochet big flower coaster pattern relies on simple stitches, while its color changes create the flower design. Take your time with the color sequence, keep an eye on stitch counts, and finish by weaving in the ends neatly.
