Imagine a cozy afternoon where you pick up your crochet hook and a spectrum of colorful yarns to bring to life a charming Tulip Bouquet Coaster. This simple yet delightful project turns ordinary materials into a sprinkle of spring that can brighten any room.
Crochet Tulip Bouquet Coaster
Materials:
- Yarn (preferably the type mentioned in the video)
- 3mm crochet hook
Pattern:
Start:
Magic Ring:
- Start with a white color yarn. Make a magic ring by placing the yarn between your fingers and use the crochet hook as described to create the ring.
Round 1:
Chain 3:
- These count as the first double crochet.
Double Crochets:
- Make 11 double crochets into the magic ring, for a total of 12 stitches when including the initial chain 3.
Slip Stitch:
- Close the round with a slip stitch into the third chain of the starting chain-3.
Round 2:
Chain 3:
- Start the new round with a chain of 3.
Double Crochets:
- In the same space as the chain 3, and in each stitch around, make two double crochets (resulting in 2 double crochets into each space from the previous round). By the end, you should aim for 24 double crochets in total.
Slip Stitch:
- Join the round with a slip stitch to the third of the starting chain-3.
After Round 3:
Chain 3:
- As before, start the round with a chain-3.
Alternating Double Crochets:
- In the next stitch, make two double crochets in the same space (considered as one double crochet pair).
- Then, make one double crochet in the following stitch.
- Continue this pattern (two double crochets in one stitch, one double crochet in the next) around.
Color Change:
- Before completing the round, introduce a new color by attaching it with a slip stitch then proceed with 3 chains.
Round 4:
Pattern Continuation:
- With the new color, follow the pattern described above, making chains and double crochets as instructed, including one double crochet, chain, and skipping stitches as outlined.
Closure:
- Complete this round as previously, adding one chain before attaching with a slip stitch to the third chain of the beginning chain-3.
Final Round:
Decorative Edge:
- Change the color (optional) and then create a decorative edge by working between the V shapes described. This involves making slips stitches, chains, and crochet stitches into specific loops and spaces to create a finishing border.
Fastening Off:
- Once the final round is complete, cut the yarn, leaving a length to weave in the ends. Hide the yarn ends with a needle to give your project a neat finish.
