🌿 Step-by-Step Pattern

1. The Coaster Base (Green Yarn - 3.0 mm Hook)

Work with double-stranded yarn (or chunky yarn) to give the coaster base good structure and thickness.

• Round 1: Make a MR, ch 2 (does not count as a st), work 10 dc into the ring. Join with a sl st to the first dc. (10 sts)

• Round 2: Ch 2, inc in every st around (2 dc in each st). Join with a sl st. (20 sts)

• Round 3: Ch 2, [1 dc, dc-inc] x 10. Join with a sl st. (30 sts)

• Round 4: Ch 2, [1 dc, dc-inc, 1 dc] x 10 (staggering increases for a flatter circle). Join with a sl st. (40 sts)

• Round 5: Ch 2, [3 dc, dc-inc] x 10. Join with a sl st. Fasten off and weave in ends. (50 sts)

2. The Sprout Vines & Leaves (Green Yarn - 2.0 mm Hook)

Attach single-strand green yarn to any stitch on the edge of Round 5.

• Border Rim: Work [1 sc, ch 4, skip 1 st] repeatedly around the coaster edge to create a decorative loop rim.

• Sprout Vines (Space 5–6 vines evenly around the perimeter):

  • At designated spots around the rim, ch 10–14 to create a stem extending upward.

  • Leaf: Ch 4, starting in the 2nd ch from hook: work 1 sl st, 1 sc, 1 sl st. Sl st back into the stem chain to secure.

  • Continue sl st down the remaining chain back to the coaster base.

3. Mini Daisy Blossoms (Make 5–6 - Yellow & White Yarn - 2.0 mm Hook)

• Flower Center (Yellow): Make a MR, work 5 sc into the ring. Sl st to join. Fasten off yellow yarn.

• Petals (White): Attach white yarn to any sc on the center ring.

  • Work [ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st] into the same stitch (Petal 1).

  • Repeat in each of the remaining 4 stitches to create 5 petals in total. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.

4. Assembly & Finishing Touches

1. Attach Flowers: Sew one mini daisy securely onto the tip of each sprouted green vine.

2. Shape the Vines: Gently curve the vines upward so they frame and hug the sides of your ceramic mug.

3. Steam Block (Optional): Lightly steam the flat base if needed to keep it perfectly level.
