With just a few grams of cotton yarn and a single pearl bead per flower, you can create a stunning set of coasters that protect your surfaces while adding a delicate floral touch to your decor.

Materials Needed

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

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in three colors:
  • Ivory (for inner petals)
  • Blush pink (for outer petals)
  • Soft gold (for the flower center)
  Approximate total: 50g of each color (enough for 4-6 coasters, depending on size). Cotton is recommended for its absorbency, stitch definition, and ability to hold shape after blocking.
• Crochet Hook: 3.5mm (E) crochet hook. This size pairs perfectly with worsted weight yarn to create a dense, sturdy fabric.
• Pearl Beads: 8mm pearl beads (one per flower). Choose a glossy white or cream pearl for a classic look, or experiment with colored pearls for a modern twist.
• Sewing Needle: A sharp needle with an eye large enough to thread through the pearl bead (a beading needle works best).
• Matching Thread: A strong, matching thread (white or cream) to sew the pearl securely to the center.
• Stitch Marker: To keep track of your rounds, especially since this pattern is worked in a continuous spiral.
• Scissors & Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends and finishing.

Step-by-Step Instructions

This pattern is worked in continuous rounds. 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. The gauge is not critical for this project, but for reference, the first 3 rounds should measure 2 inches in diameter.

Flower Center (Make 1 per flower)

The center is a small gold circle that will anchor the pearl and provide a sturdy base for the petals.

1. Round 1: With gold yarn, make a magic ring. Work 6 single crochet (sc) into the ring. Pull the tail to tighten the ring closed. (6 stitches)
2. Round 2: Work 2 sc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)
3. Round 3: *Sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch* repeat from * to * around. (18 stitches)
4. Fasten off and weave in the ends securely. Set aside.

Petals (Worked Around the Center)

Now you'll attach the petal yarn to the center and build two layers of delicate petals.

1. Attach Yarn: Attach ivory (or blush pink for the inner layer) yarn to any stitch of Round 3 of the center. Use a slip stitch to join.
2. Round 4 (Foundation Loops): *Chain 3, skip 1 stitch, slip stitch (sl st) in the next stitch* repeat from * to * around. You should create 9 chain-3 loops. Slip stitch to the first loop to join the round.
3. Round 5 (Inner Petals): In each chain-3 loop, work the following sequence: 1 single crochet (sc), 1 half double crochet (hdc), 3 double crochet (dc), 1 hdc, 1 sc. After completing each petal, slip stitch into the sc between petals to separate them. You will have 9 small petals.
4. Round 6 (Foundation for Outer Petals): *Chain 4, skip to the base of the next petal, slip stitch in the sc between petals* repeat from * to * around. This creates 9 chain-4 loops that sit behind the inner petals.
5. Round 7 (Outer Petals): In each chain-4 loop, work the following sequence: 1 sc, 1 hdc, 5 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc. Slip stitch between petals to separate. You will have 9 larger petals that overlap the inner layer beautifully.
6. Fasten off and weave in all ends carefully.

Adding the Pearl Center

This step adds the signature "Lumière" touch—a luminous pearl at the heart of your flower.

1. Thread a beading needle with a length of matching thread (about 12 inches). Tie a knot at the end.
2. Insert the needle from the back of the flower through the center of the gold circle, coming up through the middle of Round 1.
3. Slide the pearl bead onto the needle and push it down to sit snugly in the center.
4. Take the needle back down through the center, catching the back loops of Round 1 stitches to anchor it firmly. Repeat this pass 2-3 times to ensure the pearl is secure and won't wiggle loose with use.
5. Finish by tying a knot on the back of the flower and weaving in the thread end.

Finishing

1. Blocking: Gently block the flower to shape the petals. Mist with water (or use a steam iron on low, holding it above the flower—do not touch the yarn directly) and pin the petals flat or slightly cupped, depending on your preference. Allow to dry completely. Blocking will open up the stitches and give your coaster a professional, polished look.
2. Repeat: Make as many flowers as you need for your coaster set. A set of 4 or 6 looks lovely on a coffee table or dining table.

Tips for Perfect Results

• Yarn Choice: Stick with 100% cotton for best results. Acrylic yarn may not block as crisply and can stretch out of shape.
• Tension: Keep your tension consistent throughout. If your petals are too tight, the coaster will curl; if too loose, it will look floppy. Practice on a swatch if needed.
• Color Combinations: Feel free to experiment! Try a monochrome set in all ivory, or mix and match petal colors for a vibrant bouquet effect. The gold center and pearl bead tie everything together elegantly.
• Gauge: While gauge isn't critical, ensure your first 3 rounds measure about 2 inches. If it's significantly larger or smaller, adjust your hook size accordingly.

These Lumière Pearl Blossom Coasters are more than just functional—they're miniature works of art. The combination of textured cotton, soft pastel petals, and the gleaming pearl center makes them a joy to create and a pleasure to display. Whether you're crafting for yourself or gifting to a loved one, this pattern is sure to bring a touch of elegance to any home.

Happy crocheting, and may your table always bloom with beauty!
