This beginner-friendly pattern creates a stunning 4-inch coaster with layered petals, twisted loop details, and a delicate scalloped edge—perfect for adding handmade charm to your home decor or gifting to a fellow yarn enthusiast.

Materials Needed

Before you begin, gather the following supplies:

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn (e.g., Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton) in 3 colors:
  • Color A: Soft blush (main flower)
  • Color B: Cream (contrast edge)
  • Color C: Sage green (optional leaf)
• Hook: US G/6 (4.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: First 3 rounds = 2 inches in diameter (gauge is not critical, but consistent tension helps)
• Extras: Yarn needle for weaving ends, blocking pins (optional), steam iron or spray bottle for blocking

Abbreviations (US Terms)

• ch = chain
• sl st = slip stitch
• sc = single crochet
• hdc = half double crochet
• dc = double crochet
• tr = treble crochet
• yo = yarn over
• rnd = round
• st(s) = stitch(es)
• sk = skip
• sp = space

Special Stitch – Twisted Loop Petal (TLP)

This unique stitch creates the signature curled loops on the outer petals:

1. Yo, insert hook into indicated st, yo and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook).
2. Yo and pull through 2 loops (2 loops on hook).
3. Ch 3, then yo and pull through both loops on hook (this creates a twisted loop at the top of the dc).
4. Finish the dc by yo and pull through remaining 2 loops.

This forms a petal with a looped tip that stands up slightly, adding dimension and texture.

Step-by-Step Instructions

This pattern creates a single coaster. Make 4 coasters for a complete set.

Round 1 – Foundation Circle

1. With Color A, make a magic ring.
2. Ch 2 (counts as first hdc).
3. Work 11 hdc into the ring.
4. Join with sl st to top of ch-2. (12 hdc total)

Round 2 – First Loop Layer

1. Ch 1, sc in same st.
2. Ch 3, sk next st, sc in next st – repeat from * to * around.
3. End with ch 3, sk last st, sl st to first sc. (6 ch-3 loops)

Round 3 – Small Petals

1. Sl st into first ch-3 loop.
2. Ch 1, work (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) in each ch-3 loop around.
3. Join with sl st to first sc. (6 petals, each with 7 sts)

Round 4 – Second Loop Layer

1. Ch 1, sc in same st.
2. Ch 5, sk to next petal (skip the next 5 sts of the petal), sc in the sc between petals – repeat from * to * around.
3. End with ch 5, sl st to first sc. (6 ch-5 loops)

Round 5 – Larger Petals

1. Sl st into first ch-5 loop.
2. Ch 1, work (sc, hdc, 5 dc, hdc, sc) in each ch-5 loop around.
3. Join with sl st to first sc. (6 larger petals, each with 9 sts)

Round 6 – Twisted Loop Foundation

1. Ch 1, sc in same st.
2. Ch 4, sk next 7 sts (to the sc between petals), sc in that sc – repeat from * to * around.
3. End with ch 4, sl st to first sc. (6 ch-4 loops)

Round 7 – Twisted Loop Petals

1. Sl st into first ch-4 loop.
2. Ch 1, work (sc, hdc, TLP in next dc, 3 dc, TLP in next dc, hdc, sc) in each ch-4 loop around.
3. Join with sl st to first sc. (6 twisted loop petals, each with 2 loops)

Note: The TLP stitches should be placed in the 2nd and 6th dc of each petal section. Count carefully to ensure proper placement.

Round 8 – Scalloped Edging

1. Ch 1, sc in same st.
2. Ch 3, sk next 2 sts, sc in next st, ch 3, sk next 2 sts, sc in next st (which is the base of the next petal) – repeat from * to * around.
3. At the tip of each petal (between the two TLPs), work a picot: ch 3, sl st in third ch from hook.
4. Join with sl st to first sc. Fasten off Color A. (6 picots total)

Round 9 – Contrast Edge

1. Join Color B with sl st in any ch-3 sp.
2. Ch 1, work (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc) in each ch-3 sp around.
3. In the picot spaces, work (sc, ch 2, sc) to create a small loop.
4. Join with sl st to first sc. Fasten off. (6 scallops with loops)

Finishing Touches

1. Weave in all ends using a yarn needle, being careful not to pull too tightly.
2. Block gently by pinning to shape and steaming (do not press) to open up the loops and petals. This step is crucial for achieving the dimensional, twisted look.
3. Allow to dry completely before removing pins.

Optional – Sage Green Leaf Accent

Add a charming leaf to the back of each coaster:

1. With Color C, ch 8.
2. Sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next, dc in next 3, hdc in next, sc in last.
3. Ch 1, working back along the other side: sc in same st, hdc in next, dc in next 3, hdc in next, sc in last.
4. Sl st to first sc. Fasten off.
5. Sew the leaf to the back of the coaster using a yarn needle.

Pro Tips for Perfect Results

• Consistent tension is key—especially in Rounds 7 and 8 where the twisted loops are formed.
• If your loops feel too tight, try using a slightly larger hook for the ch-3 loops in the TLP stitch.
• Blocking is essential for this pattern—it helps the petals lay flat while the twisted loops stand up beautifully.
• Make all 4 coasters before blocking so you can shape them uniformly.

These Enchanted Twisted Loop Blossom Coasters make wonderful housewarming gifts, wedding favors, or a delightful treat for your own home. The combination of soft blush, cream, and sage green creates a garden-fresh palette that complements any decor. Happy crocheting!
