When the VIRAL tulip stitch coaster starts looking classic, you need to learn to crochet this UNIQUE tulip coaster. Introducing the flat tulip flower coaster designed to beautify your coffee table with a PERFECT 2D shape of the tulip flower. Well, with the raised edges around the flower, it will pocket up your cup or mug as well. It is bigger, as we shall work 5 rounds of double crochet for the middle.
The stem is stuffed, while the leaves need the usual chain stitch method. Originally, the pattern was written using the Universal Crochet Chart symbols. But I have rewritten them with the US instructions. This crochet tulip coaster looks REALLY elegant and will make the CUTEST spring memory present.
Crochet Flat Tulip Flower Coaster: Step-by-Step Pattern
It is a quick, beginner-friendly project that is perfect for adding a touch of spring to your home decor or gifting to a loved one.

Everything is crocheted individually and then assembled at the end using hot glue, making the finishing process completely seamless!
