Crocheted Flower Coasters

I'm still in my floral inspiration period!  These newest ranunculus are the inspiration for a crocheted coaster that'll work for spring into summer.

Materials:
*Knitpicks Cotlin - I used Swan (A), Flamingo (B), and Cerise (C)
*size E crochet hook

Beginning:  With A, chain 5 and join with a slip stitch to make a ring.
Round 1:  Chain 3 - counts as your first double crochet (dc).  Into the ring, make 1 dc and 1 chain.  *Make 2 dc and 1 chain.  Repeat from * 4 more times until you have 12 dc and 6 chain spaces total.  Join to third chain of first dc with a slip stitch.  Fasten off.

Round 2:  Attach B into a chain 1 space.  Chain 3 - counts as your first dc.  In the same chain 1 space, make 2 dc, 1 chain, and 3 dc.  *Moving onto the next chain 1 space, make 3 dc, 1 chain, and 3 dc.  Repeat from * 4 more times until you all 6 chain 1 spaces filled (6 groups total).  Join to third chain of first dc with a slip stitch.

Round 3:  Slip stitch into the first chain 1 space.  Chain 3 - counts as your first dc.  Make 3 more dc, 1 chain, and 4 dc into the same chain 1 space.  *Make 4 dc, 1 chain, and 4 dc into the next chain 1 space.  Repeat from * until you have all 6 chain 1 spaces filled (6 groups in total). Join to third chain of first dc with a slip stitch. Fasten off.

Round 4:  Attach C into a chain 1 space.  Chain 3 - counts as your first dc.  Make 4 more dc, 1 chain, and 5 dc into the same chain 1 space.  Slip stitch into the space between groupings.  *Make 5 dc, 1 chain, and 5 dc into the next chain 1 space.  Slip stitch into the next space between groupings.  Repeat from * until you have all 6 chain 1 spaces filled (6 groups in total). Join to third chain of first dc with a slip stitch. Fasten off.

Attach B to the first dc of one grouping.  Sc across each dc and each slip stitch all the way around.  Join to first sc with a slip stitch and fasten off.  Make sure you do not crochet this round too tightly or your coaster will curl up at the edges!

I also made some of the coasters with colors B and C reversed.

Happy Creating!  Deborah
