I’ve been obsessed with crocheted daisies and sunflowers lately. I have about five different trial and error versions of daisies on my desk and I finally figured out a pattern that I love that has stitches that are easy to work with. Of course, making a cute circular motif isn’t enough… I had to figure out what to actually do with it. I polled my Instagram audience and most people wanted to see a functional item. So here it is! A quick and easy crochet daisy or crochet sunflower coaster pattern. Just use the appropriate colors for the flower of your choice. I think it’ll be a really great colorful flower coaster too!
