Spring flowers crochet coasters pattern

¡Hola a todas!

¿Quieres poner flores en tu mesa? Os dejo un sencillo y alegre motivo de ganchillo que puede ser usado como posavasos y hacer que tu mesa tenga un look divertido y veraniego. Y puedes encontrar el patrón AQUI.

Hello everyone! 
Do you wish to dress up your table with flowers? Here is a funny and easy crochet motif that you can use as coasters to get your table looks lovely and summery. And you can find the written instructions HERE.

Me encanta la sencillez de este motivo de ganchillo; después de haber hecho uno básicamente puedes hacerlos todos sin leer las instrucciones.

I love the simplicity of crocheting this crochet motif; after crocheting one you can basically do them without reading the instructions.

He hecho dos juegos de posavasos: uno en una gama de colores fría que es la que estáis viendo...

I made two sets of coasters: one set is in a cold color scheme...

...y otro juego en una gama de colores más cálida, para que puedas elegir la que más te guste.

...and another set in a warmer color scheme, so you can choose the one you like.

Me gusta hacer posavasos para regalar. Creo que a todo el mundo le hace feliz recibir algo hecho a mano expresamente para ellos.

I like to make coasters for gifts. I think everyone is happy when receiving something handmade specifically for them.

Si te han gustado mis posavasos Spring Flowers, haz click sobre la fotopara ir al patrón escrito. Y en unos pocos días estará también en mi tienda de Ravelry.

If you like my Spring Flowers coasters, click on the pic to go to the written pattern. And in a few days it will also be in my Ravelry store.

Hexagon and Coasters Pattern - Anleitung Sechsecke und Untersetzer

Hi there,

some of you have been waiting/hoping for some time for me to write down the pattern of the hexagons I have been working with these last few weeks. As I'm no good in drawing, I can only offer a written pattern (combined with pictures) and no chart. Or does anyone know a programme (easy to use) which I could use for drawing a crochet-chart? One more thing... I did try very hard to do it right, if you'd still find a mistake though, do let me know!

Be that as it may - here we go:

Hexagon (incl. Coaster)

Abreviations:

tr = treble

mc = magic circle

ch = chain stitch

ss = slip stitch

tr2tog = 2 tr together (= decreasing one stitch)

tr3tog = 3 tr together (= decreasing 2 stitches)

ch = chain stitch

loop = loop made of ch

dc = double crochet

rd = round

Start with a magic circle (blue yarn).

Round 1: ch 4 (= 1 tr + 1 ch) in mc, * 1 tr + 1 ch *, repeat * * 4 times, ss in 3rd ch from start (= 6x 1 tr + 1 ch)

  

Round 2: ss in first loop, [tr2tog, ch 2, tr2tog] in loop, * [tr2tog, ch 2, tr2tog] in next loop *, repeat * * 4 times, ss in first tr2tog

  

  

Round 3: ss in first loop, * tr3tog in loop, ch 3 *, repeat * * 10 times, ss in first tr3tog

  

Round 4: ss in first loop, [ch 3 (= 1 tr), 1 tr, ch 1, 2 tr], * (2 tr, ch 1, 2 tr) in next loop *, repeat * * 10 times, ss in 3rd ch from start

  

Round 5: 2 ss in first loop, [ch 3 (= 1tr), 1 tr, ch 1, 2 tr] * 1 dc in middle of 4 tr of rd 4, (2 tr, ch1, 2 tr) in next loop *, repeat * * 11 times, 1 dc in middle of 4 tr of rd 4, ss in 3rd ch from start

  

Round 6 (for the hexagon): ss in first loop, [ch 3 (= 1tr), 2 tr, ch 1, 3 tr] * 1 dc in dc rd 5, (3 tr, ch 1, 3 tr.) in next loop *, repeat * * 11 times, 1 dc in dc rd 5, ss in 3rd ch from start

  

COASTER:

You might have intended to crochet just a coaster/doily. If so though, round 6 goes as follows:

Round 6: ss in first loop, [ch 3 (= 1tr), 5 tr] * 1 dc in dc rd 5, 5 tr in next loop *, repeat * * 11 times, 1 dc in dc rd 5, ss in 3rd ch from start

Finishing: Fasten off and weave ends in. Pull magic circle close, weave thread in.

  

Round 7 (white yarn): dc in any loop (standing stitch), ch 2, * 1 tr in dc, ch 2, corner [= 2 tr, ch 2, 2 tr] in next loop, ch 2, 1 tr in dc, ch 2, 1 dc in loop, ch 2 *, repeat * * 4 times, ch 2, corner, ch 2, 1 tr, ch 2, ss in first dc.

  

Round 8: ch 2 (= 1 dc), * 2 dc in loop, 1 dc in tr, 2 dc in loop, twice 1 dc in tr, corner [= 1 dc, ch 2, 1 dc] in next loop, twice 1 dc in tr, 2 dc in next loop, 1 dc in tr, 2 dc in next loop, 1 dc in dc *, repeat * * 4 times, 2 dc in next loop, 1 dc in tr, 2 dc in next loop, twice 1 dc in tr, corner in next loop, twice 1 dc in tr, 2 dc in next loop, 1 dc in tr, 2 dc in next loop, ss in 2nd ch from start.

  

Round 9: ch 3 (= 1 tr), * 1 sc in each tr, corner [= 1 tr, ch 2, 1 tr] in loop *, repeat * * 5 times, 1 tr in each dc, ss in ch 3 from start

  

Finishing:

Fasten off and weave ends in. Pull magic circle close, weave thread in.

SPOKE MANDALA

april 15, 2013 by wink

Hurray, free pattern day! :)

So many of you were interested in the pattern for this mandala, that I decided to write it down for you all. The people have spoken!


This pattern uses US terms and abbreviations. For a conversion chart to UK terms, look here.

What do you need:

• yarn (I used Drops Paris cotton yarn by Garnstudio)
• a matching crochet hook (I used a 4mm Clover hook)
• a Tunisian crochet hook in the same size (so for me a 4mm Tunisian hook)
• a darning needle to sew in the ends
• a pair of scissors

If you don’t have a Tunisian hook, you could also use a regular steel hook. Just make sure you have enough room to wrap your yarn around it at least 10 times.

Here we go! :)

1. Use your regular crochet hook. Start with a magic ring, and secure with a stitch. 
Chain 2, and make 11 dc’s in the ring. This gives us a stitch count of 12, including the ch2.

Cut the yarn and pull through the loop on your hook, and pull the ring closed to make a circle.

Thread the yarn end through the needle and insert in the first dc you made, through both loops, skipping the ch2.

Pull the needle through and now insert it in the back loop of the last stitch you made.

Pull the yarn a bit to close the circle, but make sure you don’t pull too hard; we want to keep this faux stitch we just made! :) We’re going to close rounds like this after every round from now on. Finish off.

2. Begin with a slip knot on your hook, to make a standing stitch. We’re going to use this in every row from now on.

Crochet 2 dc’s in every stitch, back loops only! This is important to make the spokes later on. (the stitch count is now 24 dc’s)

We’re going to close the round like we did before, so grab your tapestry needle and close the circle.

Good job!

3. Start with standing stitch, then *dc 1, 2dc in next stitch* around, through both loops. (36 stitches) Finish the same way as before, using your needle.

4. Start with standing stitch, then *dc 2, 2dc in next stitch* around. (48 stitches) Finish the same way as before, using your needle.

5. Start with standing stitch, then *dc 3, 2dc in next stitch* around. (60 stitches) Finish the same way as before, using your needle.

6. Start with standing stitch, then *dc 4, 2dc in next stitch* around. (72 stitches) Finish the same way as before, using your needle.

7. Start with standing stitch, then *dc 5, 2dc in next stitch* around. (84 stitches) Finish the same way as before, using your needle.

8. We’re now going to make the ‘wedges’. Insert your hook through both loops and pull up a loop.

Yarn over and pull through the loop.

Skip two stitches, and work 6 dc’s in the next stitch. Skip another two stitches, and make 1 sc. Continue in the same manner.

When you’ve made the last wedge, cut the yarn and pull through the loop on your hook.

Grab your needle and fasten off like before, in the first dc of the first wedge.

Tadah, wedges! :)

9. Grab your Tunisian crochet hook and insert in the 3rd dc of any wedge, in the back loop only.

Pull up a loop, yarn over, through loop on hook, and make a sc in the next stitch, a hdc in each of the next two stitches, and a dc in the sc of the previous round.

We are now going to make the elongated double crochet. Wrap your yarn around your hook 10 times. (11 loops on hook: 10 YO’s + the loop from the last dc we made)

Insert your hook into the front loop of one of the dc’s of round 1. Pick the loop that is directly underneath your wedge, to make the spoke a straight line.

Pull up a loop, YO, pull through two loops, *YO, pull through two loops,* until you’ve reached the top of the stitch.

And that is a spoke, or elongated double crochet!

Continue around the circle with *2hdc, 2sc, 2hdc* in each wedge, a dc in each sc, and a spoke after each dc. You’ll notice that there are 14 wedges and only 12 front loops available; work the left and right spoke of one wedge into the same front loop, and repeat again at the opposite side of the circle. You’ll have to check and see which spokes would look good into one front loop stitch. Just make sure there are 5 spokes between each ‘double spoke’, to make it look even.

Once you’ve reached the end, cut the yarn and pull through. Finish off like you’ve done before.

10. Start with a standing stitch, work 1dc around through both loops. Finish off like you did the other rounds. And that’s it, you’re done! :)


And that’s all there’s to it. Just a simple crochet circle, combined with a crazy long double crochet.

Let me know if you’ve made any mandalas using this pattern; I’d love to see! :)

xo,
