Bring a touch of bohemian elegance to your table with these textured, sunburst-inspired coasters. Each one is a quick, meditative project that adds warmth and artisanal charm to any space. Whether you're looking for a handmade gift, a way to use up cotton yarn scraps, or simply a satisfying weekend make, these coasters are the perfect choice. The combination of a warm terracotta center and cream petals creates a striking, earthy look that complements any decor.

This pattern is designed with beginners in mind—it uses only basic stitches (single crochet, double crochet, and slip stitch) and works up quickly in continuous spiral rounds. The result is a set of durable, absorbent coasters that are as beautiful as they are functional. Let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before you begin, gather the following supplies. All items are readily available at your local craft store or online.

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in two colors:
  • Main Color (MC): Warm terracotta (approx. 30-40 yards per coaster)
  • Contrast Color (CC): Cream or natural linen (approx. 10-15 yards per coaster)
• Hook: 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook
• Other: Stitch marker, yarn needle for weaving in ends, scissors

Note on gauge: Gauge is not critical for this project, but for reference, the first 3 rounds measure approximately 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter. The finished coaster will be about 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) across.

Step-by-Step Instructions

This pattern is worked in continuous spiral rounds. Do not join rounds unless specified. Use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds—place it in the first stitch of each round and move it up as you go.

Round 1: The Magic Ring

With MC, make a magic ring. Work 6 single crochet (sc) into the ring. Pull the tail tight to close the ring completely. (6 sts)

Round 2: Increase Round

Work 2 sc in each stitch around. This doubles your stitch count. (12 sts)

Round 3: Even Increases

*Sc in next st, 2 sc in next st* repeat from * to * around. This adds 6 stitches evenly. (18 sts)

Round 4: Continue Increases

*Sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st* repeat from * to * around. (24 sts)

Round 5: Keep Growing

*Sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st* repeat from * to * around. (30 sts)

Round 6: Steady Expansion

*Sc in next 4 sts, 2 sc in next st* repeat from * to * around. (36 sts)

Round 7: More Rounds

*Sc in next 5 sts, 2 sc in next st* repeat from * to * around. (42 sts)

Round 8: Almost There

*Sc in next 6 sts, 2 sc in next st* repeat from * to * around. (48 sts)

Round 9: Nearing Completion

*Sc in next 7 sts, 2 sc in next st* repeat from * to * around. (54 sts)

Round 10: Final Increase Round

*Sc in next 8 sts, 2 sc in next st* repeat from * to * around. (60 sts)

Round 11: The Sunburst Petal Edge

Now we will create the beautiful scalloped petal edge. Switch to CC. You will be working in the stitches from Round 10.

*Skip 2 sts, work 5 double crochet (dc) in the next st, skip 2 sts, slip stitch (sl st) in the next st* repeat from * to * around. This will create 10 petals total.

Tip: The slip stitch after each petal anchors it down. Make sure you are skipping exactly 2 stitches between each petal to keep the spacing even.

Finishing Touches

Fasten off and weave in all ends with your yarn needle. To give your coaster a professional finish, block it lightly. To block, simply wet the coaster, gently squeeze out excess water, and lay it flat to dry, shaping the petals so they lie flat and even. This step helps the coaster lay perfectly on your table.

Repeat the entire pattern for as many coasters as you'd like. They make wonderful gifts when tied with a ribbon and given as a set of four or six.
