Free Flower Coaster Crochet Pattern with Pot – Fun & Functional DIY Decor

 


There’s something so satisfying about a crochet project that’s both beautiful and practical, isn’t there? That’s exactly what I had in mind when I designed this flower coaster set. I wanted to make something that wasn’t just functional but also a little burst of joy every time you look at it.  

Imagine this: a stack of vibrant flower-shaped coasters, all tucked neatly into their own crocheted pot. When they’re all together, they transform into a blooming flower—or even a little cactus if you go for green tones. It’s the kind of project that doesn’t just serve a purpose; it becomes a centerpiece, brightening up your coffee table or desk with every use.  

The idea came to me while I was caught up in that New Year organizing buzz. I was clearing away holiday clutter and found myself thinking about ways to make everyday items more cheerful and tidy. What could be better than a set of coasters that double as decor? It was a chance to blend the fresh start of the New Year with a playful, handmade touch.  

Whether you’re setting the scene for a coffee gathering, tidying up your living space, or just in the mood to crochet something uplifting, this little flower coaster set is sure to spark joy. So, grab your yarn and hooks, and let’s crochet a mini garden that’s both charming and practical!

Assembly – stacking your coasters

Once you’ve completed all the flower coasters and pot, it’s time to arrange them to look like a blooming flower:

  • fold the Coasters to stack in your pot like the picture.

  • Arrange the folded coaster in the pot

  • Optional Embellishments: Add tiny stitches in a green to mimic cactus spines, or stitch hearts on the pot ( check my Youtube channel for a video tutorial on how to do that)


FAQ – Tips and Troubleshooting

  • Q: My pot feels too flimsy. What can I do?
  • A: Use a smaller hook size to tighten the stitches, or insert a piece of sturdy cardboard into the base for extra support.
  • Q: Can I make the flowers bigger?
  • A: Absolutely! Add extra rounds to the flower center, increasing evenly, and adjust the petals to fit the larger base.
  • Q: Can I use this pattern for other plants?
  • A: Definitely! Try using shades of green to make it look like different succulents or add layers to mimic a blooming rose.


  • This flower coaster set isn’t just a functional project—it’s a little piece of joy that can brighten up your table, gift someone special, or add a cozy charm to your space. I had so much fun creating this blend of practicality and beauty, and I hope you enjoy making it as much as I did.
