This crochet small flower coaster combines a simple square base with a small decorative flower and a hanging loop for storage. The pattern uses beige and gray yarn, a 2.5 mm hook, and basic stitches, making it a suitable project for beginners who are comfortable working chains, single crochet, and double crochet. The finished size depends on your yarn and tension, so use the same yarn and a consistent stitch tension throughout for an even shape.
About the Crochet Small Flower Coaster
The coaster is worked as a flat piece in rows, with the flower attached separately. A short chain loop is added at one corner so you can hang the coaster when it is not in use. The beige and gray combination gives the design a subdued look; you can choose other yarn colors if you prefer a different palette.
Set aside about 30 minutes for the project, as suggested by the pattern. Your time may vary depending on your crochet experience and how quickly you work. Before starting, check that your yarn and hook produce a firm fabric that lies flat. If your stitches are loose, the coaster may feel less stable under a cup.

How to Crochet a Small Flower Coaster
Coaster Base: Beige
- Make a foundation chain of 23 ch.
- Row 1: Insert the hook behind the vertical bar of the first stitch in the chain below and work 23 dc.
- Rows 2–10: Work 23 dc in each row.
Count the stitches at the end of each row to check that you still have 23. Keeping the edges even will help the finished base hold its square shape.
Hanging Loop: Beige
Work 10 ch for the hanging loop. The pattern allows you to adjust the chain length to suit your preference. Cut the yarn and weave in the ends securely. Before attaching the loop, check that it is long enough to fit over the hook or peg where you plan to hang the coaster.
Small Flower: Gray
- Begin with a magic ring.
- Round 1: Work 5 sc, then work (1 ch, 1 dc, 1 ch, 1 ss). Close the loop tightly.
The flower instruction is given as written above. Keep the center of the magic ring snug so the opening does not remain loose.
Assemble the Coaster
Position the flower on the coaster base, then attach it with hot-melt adhesive. Allow the adhesive to set according to its product instructions before using the coaster. Check that the flower is secure and that no loose yarn ends remain.
Finishing Tips
Lay the coaster flat and check that its edges are even. If the piece curls or looks uneven, review your stitch count and tension before making another one. Since the pattern does not specify a finished measurement or yarn weight, the final dimensions can vary. For a matching set, use the same yarn, hook, and tension for every coaster.
Keep in mind that the flower is attached with adhesive rather than sewn on. Check the adhesive’s suitability for your intended use, especially if the coaster will be exposed to heat, and follow its care instructions.
Final Thoughts on the Crochet Small Flower Coaster
This crochet small flower coaster is a compact project made from a 23-stitch foundation chain, 10 rows of double crochet, a small flower, and a chain hanging loop. The straightforward pieces make it useful for practicing basic stitches, while the flower adds a simple decorative detail. Follow the stitch counts carefully, weave in the ends, and let the adhesive set fully before putting the coaster to use.
