Flower coasters: Crochet Coaster Set Generator

Support eight petals with selected arches

The flower set uses the actual four-round daisy mandala recipe, repeated four times. Its completed-unit sequence is eight, forty, sixteen and forty-eight. One mat contains 112 counted outputs and the complete set contains 448. These are not the six-sector plain-disk counts recolored as a flower: the petal circuit, selected trailing arches and subsequent supporting frame have their own insertion sources.

Separate petal closures from routine joins

Begin with eight single crochets in a magic ring. Each separately attached petal contains an opening slip stitch, three double crochets and a closing slip stitch, with chain arches positioning its sides. The five actual stitches per petal account for forty completed units. The two slip stitches are part of the petal construction; omitting them because a usual round join is excluded would undercount this particular recipe. Follow the complete sequence below for the chain lengths and exact fastening points.

Frame the flower without catching every opening

The next circuit uses only the specifically named trailing petal arches, producing sixteen posts and sixteen chain-two openings. The final circuit places its counted groups into those spaces. Working into both leading and trailing arches would double the frame's receiving locations and change its structure. The source chart draws connecting lines from each new group to its actual arch; its forty-eight-output final circuit should be checked before another copy is started.

Questions before using the set

Will the cup rest on the petal tops?

Check the actual blocked mat with the intended cup. Decorative texture may leave a less level surface than a plain disk.

Can I replace the daisy with the square generator?

That produces a different outline and frame. Use the saved daisy source here rather than silently substituting another flower.

Are the yarn roles separate petal instructions?

The round swatches describe the source recipe's selected palette order. Follow the stated separate attachment points and conceal every tail.

Exact setup, terminology and saved source

Open the Coaster Set Generator and choose flower. Set working rounds to four, quantity to 4, rectangular recipe width to twelve stitches and its length to twelve rows. Only controls used by the chosen recipe affect its construction. Download the exact original project JSON before changing colors or dimensions. Use compatible smooth yarn, a matching hook, removable markers, scissors and a tapestry needle. Make and wash a trial piece before repeating the full quantity.

The following complete sequence uses US terms: sc is single crochet, dc is double crochet, ch is chain and sl st is slip stitch. UK mode converts sc to dc and US dc to tr while retaining all insertion sources and counts. Starting chains, spaces, petal closures and routine joins follow each recipe's explicit counting convention; do not apply one blanket convention to every component. The chart-reading guide explains how to compare symbols with written instructions. Finish and weave every tail, then retain the measured sample and saved project together. These original vector diagrams show generated construction rather than a photographed or physically validated finished sample.

Complete component recipes and final set check

1. Eight-petal daisy mat (make 4), round 1: Magic ring: ch 1 (not counted), 8 sc. Sl st to first actual sc. [8 counted outputs per copy]
2. Eight-petal daisy mat (make 4), round 2: Attach each of eight petals separately in one old sc: sl st to attach, ch 2, 3 dc, ch 2, sl st into the same base, then fasten off. Eight petals contain24 dc, 16 sl and 32 chains. Select only each trailing ch-2 arch for the frame. [40 counted outputs per copy]
3. Eight-petal daisy mat (make 4), round 3: Join frame yarn in a trailing petal arch. In each of eight selected arches work (dc, ch 2, dc, ch 2). Starting ch 2 is uncounted; join to first dc. Sixteen dc and sixteen ch-2 openings. [16 counted outputs per copy]
4. Eight-petal daisy mat (make 4), round 4: Ch 2 (not counted). Work 3 dc in each of sixteen ch-2 openings; join to first dc. Forty-eight dc. Do not also work the old post tops. Fasten off, weave in ends and block the completed motif without stretching. [48 counted outputs per copy]
5. Keep these pieces separate; no seam joins the set. Finish every recipe as written. Wash and block a trial piece, compare the actual base of the intended cup, and repeat to the stated quantities. A larger table mat is not certified for hot cookware. [4 separate finished pieces]
