A free video tutorial from Knitting Time shows you exactly how to make this Crochet Daisy Coaster, and the way those puffy white petals spiral out from a vivid blue centre is genuinely breathtaking!
The Daisy Coaster
The Crochet Daisy Coaster is one of those small, handmade objects that carries more warmth than its size suggests. Worked in the round, it blooms outward from a tightly stitched blue centre into a full ring of rounded, cloud-soft white petals that feel airy yet structured in the hand. It is the kind of piece that looks equally at home on a linen-dressed coffee table as it does tucked into a handmade gift basket. Whether you are new to working in the round or looking for a satisfying quick project, this coaster will hold your attention from the first magic ring to the final fastened-off petal.

The blue and white combination shown in the reference images has a clean, almost coastal quality, crisp and bright without being cold. You could just as easily swap the centre for a warm terracotta or a deep sage green to match a seasonal table setting, or work the whole piece in neutrals for something quieter. The Crochet Daisy Coaster is a genuinely versatile little make that welcomes colour experimentation without requiring much yarn at all.
Materials and Tools
For a Crochet Daisy Coaster that holds its shape beautifully and survives regular use, reach for a DK weight cotton yarn in two colours, one for the centre and one for the petals. Cotton gives the coaster the firmness it needs to sit flat under a glass and the absorbency to actually do its job, while still feeling pleasantly smooth to work with. A 3.5mm crochet hook is the sweet spot for DK cotton, giving you a tight enough fabric that the petals hold their rounded shape without feeling stiff. Keep a yarn needle close by for weaving in your ends cleanly once the final petal is complete.
Stitch by Stitch
This pattern draws on a small, friendly collection of standard crochet stitches that build quickly into something genuinely beautiful.
BULLET:MR (Magic Ring) The foundation of the coaster, this adjustable loop lets you close the centre tightly so no hole shows at the heart of your flower.
BULLET:SC (Single Crochet) Used in the early rounds to build the dense, stable centre of the coaster before the petals begin.
BULLET:DC (Double Crochet) The workhorse stitch of the petal rounds, creating the height and body that gives each petal its satisfying rounded fullness.
BULLET:SL ST (Slip Stitch) Used to join rounds cleanly and to anchor the base of each petal as you work around the outer edge.
There is a genuinely meditative rhythm to working these rounds, the repetition of the petal sequence settling into something almost automatic after the first few repeats, which makes this a lovely project to pick up in the evening.
Construction
The Crochet Daisy Coaster is worked entirely in the round from the centre outward, beginning with a magic ring and building through several rounds of SC to establish the blue centre before switching to white for the petal rounds. The petals are formed by working a sequence of DC stitches into the same stitch or space and then closing them together at the top, creating that signature puffy, rounded shape you can see clearly in the reference images. Because every round connects back to the previous one with a SL ST, there are clear, natural stopping points that make it easy to track your progress, which is reassuring if you are still building confidence with in-the-round construction. If you want to make a slightly larger coaster, simply add an extra round of petals using the same sequence before fastening off.
Wearing Your Daisy Coaster
The Crochet Daisy Coaster is not limited to protecting your favourite mug, though it does that beautifully. Arrange a set of three in graduating colours as a table centrepiece, stitch several together into a small trivet, or tuck one under a potted plant on a windowsill where its petal shape catches the light. Finishing even a single coaster gives you a satisfying, complete object to show for an afternoon of making, and that feeling is enough to send most crocheters straight back to the hook for another.
Keeping Your Daisy Coaster Fresh and Flat
Because cotton is your fibre here, the Crochet Daisy Coaster is pleasantly practical to care for and can be hand-washed in cool water with a gentle soap without losing its shape. After washing, lay it flat on a clean towel and gently coax the petals back into their rounded positions before leaving it to air dry completely. If you find the coaster has curled slightly at the edges after its first wash, a light spritz of water and a few minutes under a warm iron on the steam setting will bring it back to flat. Store finished coasters stacked or rolled loosely, never folded, to keep the petals looking full and even.
Every finished Crochet Daisy Coaster is a small, real thing made entirely by your hands, and that is worth celebrating every single time. Save this article to your crochet Pinterest board so you can find the tutorial again whenever you are ready to make the next one.
