This crochet daisy coaster adds a bright floral touch to a table or desk. It features a yellow center, white petals, and a green round border. The pattern uses a 2.5 mm hook and basic US crochet stitches. Allow about 30 minutes to make one, depending on your pace and familiarity with the stitch sequence.
The pattern is approachable for newer crocheters, though the petal joins require careful attention. A stitch marker can help you keep track of the beginning of each round, and the step-by-step instructions below provide a useful reference as you work.
About This Crochet Daisy Coaster Pattern
The coaster is worked from the center outward. First, crochet a yellow circle, then add white petals around it. A green round forms the border, and a final white round finishes the edge. Keep your stitches even so the flower lies flat; if the work begins to cup or ripple, check your stitch placement before continuing.
For more crochet table accessories, you could also explore designs such as a big flower coaster, freesia coaster, small flower coaster, patchwork coaster, plaid coaster, round puff coaster, plaid dishcloth, or Christmas tree dishcloth.
Materials for the Crochet Daisy Coaster
- Yarn in yellow, white, and green
- 2.5 mm crochet hook
- Darning needle
- Scissors
- Stitch marker
Choose yarns of a similar weight so the center, petals, and border work together evenly. Before starting, check that your hook size suits your yarn; changing the hook can affect the finished size and how flat the coaster sits.

Pattern Notes

Step-by-Step Crochet Daisy Coaster Instructions
Work the following steps in order. The pattern creates 16 petals around the yellow center.
- Make the center: With yellow yarn, begin with a magic ring.
- Work the first round: Chain 3, then make 16 dc into the ring. Pull the ring closed firmly and join with 1 ss.
Check that the center is closed neatly before changing colors. If there is a visible opening, gently tighten the magic ring tail.
- Begin the petals: Change to white yarn and chain 10. Work behind the third chain’s vertical bar, then crochet (4 dc, 2 hdc, 1 sc). Make 1 ss in the next stitch.
Keep the white stitches consistent as you form the first petal. The slip stitch anchors the petal at the center, so make sure it is placed in the next stitch as instructed.
- Continue around the center: Chain 7 and turn. Work 1 dc to attach to the first dc stitch of the first petal. Turn, chain 3, and work (4 dc, 2 hdc, 1 sc) from the seventh chain just made. Finish with 1 ss. Repeat this sequence until you have made 16 petals.
- Join the final petal: Chain 7 and turn. Work 1 dc to attach to the first dc stitch of the previous petal. Turn, chain 3, and work 1 dc to attach to the first petal. Continue with (4 dc, 2 hdc, 1 sc), then make 1 ss in the next stitch and chain 1. Cut the yarn and weave in the end.
As you make the petals, check that they sit evenly around the center. If a petal twists, pause and confirm that the work is turned in the correct direction before continuing.
- Add the green border: Change to green yarn. Chain 3, work 2 dc at the top of the petal, then work 3 dc in the gap. Continue around to complete the round.
- Finish the edge: Change to white yarn. Make 1 ss and chain 1. Reverse direction and work a round of sc, then join with 1 ss. Cut the yarn and weave in the remaining ends.
Lay the coaster flat and gently adjust the petals and border. Weave yarn tails through nearby stitches on the wrong side so they stay secure and do not show through the front.
Finishing and Care Tips
Once the ends are woven in, the daisy coaster is ready to use as a decorative surface for a cup or mug. For best results, follow the care instructions for your yarn. If you are unsure how the yarn will respond to washing, test a small swatch first and avoid high heat.
This crochet daisy coaster is a small project that can also be made in different color combinations using the same pattern. Keep the stated stitch sequence and change only the yarn colors if you want a different floral look.
