This Daisy Coaster Holder – Free Crochet Pattern keeps a handmade coaster set neat while adding a cheerful flower to your table. A golden center and ten cream petals form the base, then a sage border turns upward into a firm, textured wall. The finished holder fits four coordinating daisy coasters and makes a lovely housewarming or hostess gift.
The pattern uses joined rounds and basic stitches. You can make the holder alone for coasters you already own or follow the matching coaster instructions for a complete piece of Cute Crochet Home Decor.

Pattern Notes
Join each round with a slip stitch unless instructed otherwise. Beginning chains do not count as stitches. Keep joins on the back of the work and weave tails toward the center so the holder remains tidy.
The flower section becomes both a coaster and the holder base. For a coaster, stop after the green border. For the holder, continue into the side rounds.
Daisy Center and Petals
With mustard yarn, make an MR.
Round 1: Ch 1, work 10 hdc in the ring. Pull closed and join. (10)
Round 2: Ch 1, work 2 hdc in each st around. Join. (20)
Change to cream yarn.
Round 3: *Sl st in the next st. In the next st work (ch 2, 3 dc, ch 2, sl st); repeat from * around to create 10 petals. Fasten off.
Gently pull each petal outward so the flower lies flat. The ch-2 loops define the sides of each petal and provide an easy place to attach the border.
Green Joining Border
Join sage yarn at the outer tip of any petal. Work 5 sc evenly around the edge of each petal, placing the middle stitch at the petal tip. Repeat around all 10 petals and join. (50 sc)
Check the measurement. If the flower is smaller than your existing coaster set, use hdc instead of sc in the border. If the edge ripples, work only 4 stitches around each petal or switch to a smaller hook.
Matching Daisy Coaster
For one coaster, complete the daisy center, petals, and green joining border. Add one finishing round:
Final round: Ch 1, sc in each st around. Join and fasten off. (50)
Weave in the ends securely and block the flower flat. Make four Daisy Coasters in the same palette or change the outside border to dusty pink, pale blue, yellow, and green. Recording your hook size and finished diameter will keep the set consistent.
Build the Coaster Holder Walls
For the holder, do not fasten off after the first green border.
Side Round 1: Ch 1. Working in BLO, sc in every st around. Join. (50)
This back-loop round creates a neat fold so the daisy stays flat while the walls stand upright.
Side Round 2: Ch 1 and turn. Sc in the first st, *ch 1, skip the next st, sc in the next st; repeat from * around. Join. (25 sc and 25 ch-1 spaces)
Side Round 3: Ch 1 and turn. Sl st into the first ch-1 sp, ch 1, sc in the same sp, *ch 1, sc in the next ch-1 sp; repeat from * around. Join.
Side Rounds 4–10: Repeat Side Round 3. Add or remove repeats until the holder is tall enough for your coaster set.
Top edging: Ch 1, sc once in every sc and ch-1 sp around. Join. Work one optional reverse-single-crochet round for a corded rim. Fasten off and weave in all ends.
Shaping the Holder
The sides may feel soft immediately after crocheting. Wet-block the holder over a round container that is close to the desired diameter. Keep the base flat, smooth the wall upward, and allow it to dry completely before removing the form.
For a firmer holder, use tightly spun cotton and a hook half a size smaller. You can also place a removable circle of washable plastic canvas beneath the coasters, but do not stitch rigid material permanently into a piece you plan to machine wash.
Color and Gift Ideas
Cream petals with a golden center create a classic daisy, while sage gives the set a calm, modern finish. Try blush borders for a nursery, navy for a farmhouse kitchen, or terracotta and oatmeal for autumn. These Crochet Patterns For Coasters are easy to coordinate with placemats, dishcloths, and mug cozies.
A holder filled with four coasters is one of the most practical Free Crochet Patterns Small Gifts. Tie the coasters with cotton ribbon, place them inside the holder, and include a card with fiber content and washing instructions.
If you make items for markets, this set suits Easy Crochet Patterns To Sell because it has a clear use and looks complete on display. Calculate the cost of every coaster, the holder, packaging, and your time before choosing a price.
Quick Troubleshooting
- The base cups: Use a larger hook or loosen the petal border stitches.
- The base waves: Reduce the number of border stitches around each petal.
- The walls flare outward: Use a smaller hook for the sides or skip one extra stitch evenly in the first wall round.
- The rim pulls inward: Work the final edging loosely or add several evenly spaced increases.
- The holder is too short: Repeat the moss-texture round until it covers the stacked coasters.
